Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[Vohoanghiep]

Everything develops in a different direction and everything has a different potential, so your comparison is quite lopsided. Besides, the high Bitcoin prices show that its potential is extremely high so it will probably increase in the future. No one knows what's ahead so all is predictable

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

 

The high volatility  rate of Bitcoin has made it also unique overtime; when it goes up it is sharp and when it dips, it is sharp too. The price change has been really drastic and worthy of note. The major argument or evidence which supports the concept of high volatility is the rate at which bitcoin is being adopted; high influx of traders/users of Bitcoin over other coins. The negative circumstance of the volatility; when it dips can be quite disheartening. So, better to keep oneself prepared.

It is good until it will crash all papers. But it needs to be stabile after.

In my own opinion, i think bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing because thats how bitcoin works. Also, its volatility makes it popular among the other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin has the capability to make a massive increase to its price and also it can sometimes experience a huge crash. We should be open to all the possibilities that may happen once we engage ourselves as well as our money in bitcoin. Not all the time we can gain profit because sometimes we can lose some.

Yes it is, volatility is a bad thing. It is a risk for investors. The market value of bitcoin is volatile in nature such that it cahnges from time to time that also scares some investors of Bitcoin. Ofcourse no one wants to lose money, and since there are tendecies that its msrket value will fall, it confuses some people invest in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's volatility in prices is not a bad thing. If you'll try to think of it, its sudden changes in prices serves as a blessing in disguise because a person may make a wise decision whether to market or invest its currency in a way that will benefit them morefully.

If your threat Bitcoin as a "commodity" and keep in cold storage without using like portable hardware wallets:  Trezor or Ledger Nano S then maybe volatility is not your concern because for a long-term investment Bitcoin beats anything that Banks can offer you. Problems arise when you want to use Bitcoin every day as a payment for goods then small volatility is not a bad thing, but what happens when your BTC is going up and down more than 10% in a 24h? Perfect example is STEAM, they quit for now because of that, I don't know when this will change but for now is not a good thing for sure.

I heard a different story. The real culprit was because of the rising fees and its making it impractical to use BTC for payments on Steam.

Think of buying a game worth $50 and paying over $10 in fees for it. That would make credit cards more practical and cheaper.

I also dont think there were many Bitcoiners buying games.

Not only was the cost of the transaction but the time it took to confirm, I never bought steam games with bitcoin but I suppose they respect the price for only a couple of hours so you needed your transaction to confirm fast and as we know that can be very costly.

The volitile price of bitcoins has a bad effect on us. Especially for beginners in this trade. Because they lose more money because of the collapse. So they should learn what happens to bitcoins and how they are used

In the term of crypto economy, volatility is one of the main aspects in cryptocurrencies. If the price would have no volatilization, it might be fixed as like fiat and definitely the price would have never increased by 1700%. The bitcoin would have still its initial price which was less than a hundred dollars.
So i would say volatility is must to get profits by your investmemts and this aspect makes it different than fiat

Volatility isn't a bad thing and bitcoin being volatile in price is not an evil, very commodity in the market is volatile as long as their is no stability of price. Gold is volatile, real estate is volatile and cryptocurrencies are volatile in nature, their price is not always stable.
The volatile in an upwards direction is good but when it consistently move on downward direction is a kind of evil. But in the case of bitcoin we have witness an upwards direction price movement and at that the volatility of bitcoin is an advantage to holders of bitcoin.

As one of the attributes imbued in bitcoin, volatility is not totally a bad thing. If we look at it on the HODLer's perspective, it will somewhat give a sad feeling of having its value drop (but hodlers know bitcoin will always rise everytime there's a dip on its price). On investor's perspective, it is the best time to sell bitcoins when its price goes high.

[XCANA]

Market volatility has both positive and negative effect on bitcoin holders, traders and investors in the following ways. When bitcoin from customer as a means of payment assuming its value was $16,000 and just within a week bitcoin value depreciate down to $14,000 that will definitely affect your holding and if its value increase in your favour then the value of your bitcoin will increase.

In fact, gold is pretty stable. It could even be said that it is rock stable on its own, while changes in its price are mainly due to changes in the value of the dollar which gold is priced in, not so much in the value of gold itself. Real estate, on the other hand, can be volatile, but we should remember that it is not used as a means of payment, so it is sort of irrelevant. Volatility is not good for anything which pretends to be money, though it is good for traders and speculators.

it seems to be not too bad because bitcoin is limited to currency, and its system drivers are in blockchain, and blockchain has been developing and updating the system for better bitcoin transactions.

Well it depends on application of bitcoin, if you will use it as a currency then it is a bad thing because merchants wants stable mode of transactions and bitcoin is not capable for this. But if you will use it as a as an asset then it is a good thing because you may earn big profits in a span of short time.

[grimoire5]

i think Volatility is good and also bad
good because it means there is a movement that show us there is transaction already made, a transaction means a lot, there is people who want to buy and also want to sell... if they have agreement price they will make a deal, it can be higher or lower or event at the same price
bad if that price is make to manipulate the market.. many big investor can do this, and some of them already caught
manipulate the market to make another people invest their money and after that they abandon the asset and take another people ivestment just for them alone

[Domenc]

Volatility is blessing to bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I think such high volatility is not for normal users and things like pumping and dumping can give you heart attack but overall the rise in your investment that one can enjoy in bitcoin or cyrpto currency cannot be enjoyed at any other place. Volatility helps to give a quick returns on your investment, if you buy when price is crashing or facing a correction then in few days you would see that your investment has raised in matters of hours only. So, never think volatility bad for bitcoin rather it is best thing for it.
