the main reason is that bitcoin is not only a type of money, it is also a kind of investment and therefore, investors buy bitcoin in order to multiply their money in the future. And there are also many traders who sell and buy bitcoin frequently to make money. Therefore, the price of bitcoin easily be affected and it is volatile.
there is nothing so uncertain in the value of the bitcoin. Because the bitcoin value is indeed volatile. If you are not so much sure about your investing process in bitcoin then you should go for learning first instead of investing without knowledge. Having fine knowledge about bitcoin and having hard work nature can make you earn good profit so bitcoin is volatile and it is good to have bitcoin indeed.
Value and prices are quite different things. The value of bitcoins is so hard to ascertain that is why the price is volatile. Bitcoins just have a fix amount of supply however the demand jumps up and down depending on the times. That is why prices does not remain the same, since this is a freemarket people pay for bitcoins with the price they think it is worth.

The demand for bitcoin is going up almost everyday that's why the price is so volatile and no one can really predict where will be the next stop of the price. We also need to understand that bitcoin is based on speculation. If there is a lot of positive news coming our way, bitcoin price goes up, otherwise, just one negative issue could also bring the price to the floor.

But the volatility nature of bitcoin what drive traders to go into the market. You can easily profit in a day when the price suddenly jumps up and maybe hold on it for a few months and years and when you feel you have profited enough then you can sell it. So bitcoin volatility attracted more people into it pushing the demand higher and the price as well.

Why Is Bitcoin's Value So Volatile? I am confused to buy bitcoin now when it's value is too high

The answer to this question should be straightforward

Bitcoin is highly volatile (and will most certainly remain so in the future) since it is a massively speculative asset which has next to no real world use. If Bitcoin were backed up (in a sense) by the real economy behind it (i.e. if it were actually used as a means of payment between buyers, merchants, and producers alike), this real economy would greatly diminish speculation (more bitcoins would be circulating in the real economy than in speculative markets). Apart from that, with prices rising markets are inevitably thinning which further contributes to volatility

yes that is also right that traders are taking interest in bitcoin because of the volatility characteristic of bitcoin. it is in fact providing opportunities to the people to make money. and that is the reason that people are taking more interest in bitcoin . I am sure that the interest of the people will continue increasing for a long long time.

Bitcoin's value fluctuates due to a confluence of factors, including media hype and perceived value.

No one can predict when bitcoin value will get high, However due to the demand of the community users of bitcoin together with the investors the value get increase, but if the sellers prevail of course the price will fall down but it will resume again at the original value or more, that's why its called volatile.

It is simply because the demand in the market. The value is unstable and unpredictable because it is dependent on the small number of users. Big whales can easily manipulate the value anytime and in any chances. Bitcoin is still your it is still reaching its point of stability, though it has been around for years there are still a need for more numbers of users and investors so that it will become stable. Volatilty is most likely because of the fork and other whales decision. Volatility is both advantage and disadvantages, it is where bitcoin is known. We dont know what will happen but we can speculate the trend in the market.

Bitcoin is volatile because it is dependent on the market demand. It has to do with the relation of supply and demand. Such that if the demand is high, the price will also be high. If the the demand is low , its market value will decrease. It is an open source system so it is also expected. No need to hesitate because the increase on its price is continuous especially at this moment, therefore, the profit is assured for investors and users.

I think the more demand it means the more users are adopting bitcoin right? the price will be higher but price changes will slow down due to the large marketcap that will occur in bitcoin market, fluctuations really provide a quick and significant advantage for trader but I think over time the bitcoin price will become stable or the fluctuations will gradually weaken because of the increasing number of bitcoin users

There might be a crash every few months as you can't expect the price to rise everyday. So you can buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high. And the volatility will exist forever like it or not.

as low as Bitcoin prices for 2017 will not be under 4500 $. Volality is the uniqueness of Bitcoin, you can use it for profit if you are smart.

It is not just about demand

The number of coins now barely changes (with around 90% of all potential monetary supply already been mined) so the demand can be satisfied only from the same pool of coins which make up the supply. The inevitable outcome is that it is not just demand rising all alone, it is also supply diminishing at the same time along with it, since the higher the demand the less coins will be there to meet it. And that contributes greatly to volatility

One of the reasons that the price of bitcoin is so volatile is that many of the people buying bitcoins today are buying based on speculation not because they actually want to use them.   Smiley Smiley

Speculative buyers believe that in the future many people will want bitcoins (if this is true these future buyers will drive the price up) so speculators buy bitcoins now in anticipation of that future demand and price increase.

However, speculative buyers are very sensitive to current events - news stories can quickly turn speculative buyers into speculative sellers. This flip-flopping of speculator sentiment is the main reason the price of bitcoin varies so wildly.   Cool Cool

Infact having a volatile price is considered good especially by the seasoned players and traders in the market due to the price earning opportunity is high . The returns are high during this period though it also involves risk but if you understand and do right analysis it is beneficial . Though due to lack of price stability many businesses avoid accepting Btc as the risk is high for them.

Will the price stabilise in future is doubtful beacuse it is one of the features only I think .

Bitcoin is so volatile in market because its a decetralized currency and no one has a full control of this,i think this is the reason why bitcoins price is jumping and drowning so fast because no one controls it

There are many factors at play...trading can cause volatility and bitcoins decentralization makes it vulnerable to manipulate from whales with lots of bitcoins and bad press contributes its fair share to volatility.

You do not need to worry about the buying price today because prices are expected to go higher as the blockchain technology becomes more popular around the world

Buying at any price shouldn't be a problem again because it is certainly bound to increase from the  rate you bought it. The earlier you buy the better, that is why I don't mind buying them in bits at any rate I may get them because it has always given me more in due time.

Bitcoin is a virtual currency in this world, many people are against on this. Making a negative new about bitcoin and making articles that bitcoin will be gone in two or more years. Bitcoin is so volatile, depending on what acts may people do in bitcoin. Manipulating it, by making negative news about bitcoin, causing bitcoin's value decreases. But some, retailers or investors hoping that bitcoin's value will be on top of all fiats and will be the on top of all currencies over the world

I think it is still volatile because it is still under development. If bitcoin value reaches about $100,000 the volatility does not matter since it is already a huge value.

What causes the volatility in the value of bitcoin ie: the change and the irregularity in its development, and what I figure the inquiry is truly after, is advertise liquidity. This is fundamentally the capacity to complete an arrangement. Or, on the other hand more precisely the distinction in value desires amongst purchasers and merchants. The more purchasers and merchants in a market at a point in time the more rivalry there will be to complete an arrangement and the nearer value desires will be. Less purchasers and merchants in a market mean a little awkwardness will rapidly drive the cost up or down.

What I ridiculously think the inquiry is after is the thing that influences liquidity right now. Would love to see some genuine cash information on this however I presume the extent of theoretical btc purchases and offers versus those encouraging real trade of items and administrations is as of now quite recently tremendous. That and the absence of a subsidiaries showcase.

Are you trying to join an investment or trading thats why you want to buy bitcoin? if so bitcoin is too expensive to purchase for now but you can have and keep a bitcoin by not investing but instead you join the signature campaign with no investment, by joining the campaign you can collect bitcoins with no cost. You just need to spend your time and enough patience.
