Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled?

[richmcrich]

Although theoretically it could be managed, it couldn't be controlled in real life. Bitcoin is widely used and we cannot control people who use them. It is not only affected by one factor but several and no one is powerful enough to manipulate.

I don’t really think so, Bitcoin can be moved by the Investment people makes, but at which rate it moves is being determined by the developers. So can the volatility of bitcoin be controlled? My answer will be definitely a yes! But only by the devs. You can just take a look at how Ethereum is being controlled. Bitcoin is going out of hand, and seriously, the price rate needs to be corrected.

Volatility of bitcoin and cryptocurrency cannot be controlled. In my view very few altcoins volatility were controlled just because of the team that's behind it. Some provide fake price moves to profit out of it, if the system functions in a decentralized state the volatility can't be kept under control. At times manipulation happens with the big Volume holders.

Yes i agree with what you say, since bitcoin is always on a sudden change of price which is prone to losing its value. When volatility of bitcoin could be controlled then that is bad because there would be someon or and organization manipulate the price of bitcoin for their own interest. Bitcoin should remain volatile to prevent bitcoin being corrupted by some organization.

I have read some posts and some concerns that it is the volatility of Bitcoin that is preventing many people and many businesses to fully adopt Bitcoin. This can be the main factor why big online shopping stores are not yet adding Bitcoin into their payment facilities (though there is now a circulated petition for this but I doubt if it can make a dent).

Some are really saying that if volatility can be managed then we can see Bitcoin going mainstream. I am wondering then: Is volatility something that we should find a way to control and how do you think it can be done?

I think bitcoin volatility cannot be controlled because it is one of the characteristics that a cryptocurrency possess since it was generated and operated online and tend to be virtually used as a currency. It is a normal that cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin undergoes volatility to make it free on changing its price value which results to benefits and opportunities to be gained upon experiencing this volatility that bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies possesses.

We can never controll bitcoin volatility.And it is about the investors and the users that make bitcoin a high or on a low price.As long as it is widely used by people then it will stay volatile

If you are having thousand or million bitcoins and you can try to dump all of your bitcoin at the same time in the market and you already made the market becomes panic. Bitcoin is not having any developers. All of the thing based on the community's consensus.

With a market cap reaching more than $ 250 billion, I think it's very difficult to control bitchin volatile, as we know that bitcoin is decentralized so all prices depend on needs and stock.

Nope, Bitcoin has developers but unlike the centralized system, the developers of Bitcoin has created by the community and all changes in Bitcoin need to get accept from the community first.
Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin Unlimited ... are the product from developers of Bitcoin .

That's absolutely correct! Bitcoin voaltility can't be controlled as the bitcoin market is a free market and value in free market is based on the demand and supply, so right now bitcoin is having high demand and which is continuously so the price is also gonna increase definitely in the upcoming future .

you know and we know that volatility is the key why bitcoin became popular and why we can earn profit to it and why it is the best for trading. so just imagine if volatility is controlled or regulated then it can greatly affect the bitcoin market and also the people who are always depending on it. yet stores can still use bitcoin even if its volatile because they can always adjust their pricing according to the current value of bitcoin.

Even fiat volatility against each other cannot be controlled and that is what still makes forex market trad-abletoday despite it being controlled by the government.

Bitcoin being decentralized even makes the volatility as crazy as it seems but I believe a time would come when a little balance would be maintained based on the level of adoption, but controlling it is something that cannot be possible, except we give up the decentralization characteristics.

That says it all. Demand and supply is what drives the market and its volatility and as long as no one can be controlled regarding this, then there is no way to control bitcoin's volatility.

Even if I have about 1 million bitcoin now and I want to dump it all, it would only affect the market to some extent even if I am dropping at a lower price, but looking at the market cap and the rate at which new investors are looking for a great value, I will even regret making such a decision which is why whales can hardly do much with the value these days.

I don't think it can be controlled, it is already in nature of bitcoin to be volatile, so controlling it wouldn't be possible. There will always be people who will give value to it no matter what, and once they bought a lot it will once again increase it's value for more demands. Remember that the increase of demand will result to increase of value as well.

no, nobody can control the circulation of bitcoin because bitcoin is a digital currency deliberately made so that no one can master this because bitcoin is always growing and getting harder to get.

[fredo123]

I don't think so because in the first place bitcoin is freedom, bitcoin is decentralized so which means bitcoin volatility as well, will not be controlled.

With a market cap that reaches over $ 100 billion, I think it would be hard for anyone to make a turbulent bitcoin price. all prices due to the pure demand and stock of the users.

Obviously, and the fact that it is even getting huge every day. Highest that can ever happen is seeing the market being manipulated one way or the other by whales, but as the market cap keeps increasing, this makes it more difficult for huge manipulation to be done. However, bitcoin remains decentralized and it is just impossible for anyone to come up one day and start controlling the volatility.

I feel the same thing...of course someone controls it, but we will never know the details...since no one will be able to influence it

[Gotottack]

I think it is the system that controls it but it is heavily reliant on Bitcoin's supply and demand. Hence, volatility can hardly be controlled in this kind of system. Also, Bitcoin bolsters its growth by being decentralized. I do not think many will be happy when it becomes centralized because things can substantially change. Controlling it would just be like copying the strategies of governments in regulating the supply of money that are in circulation. How and so in Bitcoin, I really would not know.

No system control the peice and it can't be manipulated by one person but i do believe it can happen like tmin the bitcoin futures. All is possible in the future lets see if they can control it among with the millions or billions of people who will use bitcoin.

It can easily be controlled if some big entity decides to buy a large amount of bitcoin to control the price, like a government or a bank

[martina14]

I think it can't be controlled because bitcoin is based on decentralised system and there are no one to controlled it, the one that makes it volatility is the supply and demand and we can't controlled people about those things, so bitcoin will never be too stable

As of today, the volatility is getting more movement, the movement of pump in the market is unstoppable as the supplies stay as it is and people are now having interest on bitcoin, everyday more people are getting attracted to the coin which gives more demand, one more thing people now are solid to bitcoin and built their trust on the investment to get profit which when bitcoin fall even just 10 percent they are having now rush buying on the market which supplies bitcoin more power to go up.

I agree and I thought that is one of the theory of the "good satoshi" which he holds 1Million bitcoins to control the price, but from what I am seeing, the price is still volatile. And I think no one will be doing that since most of the people who holds and buy bitcoin is just aiming to get a good profit out of it's volatility. I think if bitcoin's volatility is controlled, it won't be that popular.
