Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[Bugsbey]

I think you are mixing things. Steam had bitcoin as a payment method, so if you see things that way, then volatility is a bad thing, because it's hard to keep stable prices. You can buy something and then the price goes up, and you payed a big rice for that game, or the price can go down, and if steam didn't converted the BTC for cash, then they lost money. Volatility might be a good thing for trade, or an investment, if the price is going up, but it's not a good things for buying goods. They also complained about the fees if I'm not mistaken. I understand the move, and it doesn't really hurt bitcoin in my opinion. Right now BTC is an asset class and is tied to investments, and that is not a bad thing, because it means that a lot of money will come into bitcoin.

It is true. The volatility of bitcoin is sometimes not good if used as payment thing. But in investments it could be challenging. A test of patience since you have to wait when will the price of bitcoin goes up. And a test of strenght since the price sometimes becomes too low.

As a currency, the volatility affects the value of the currency greatly. Imagine having $150 worth of coins worth about $60 now, this is obviously not good as the value has greatly increased so you would have to spend more coins to get whatever you wanted as first. But as an investment, the volatility of bitcoin is a good thing because without bear and bull markets, there will be no way to make profits if the price stays at a single value. So, it really all depends on what angle you are looking at it from.

Bitcoin is very good currency and the one that makes it good is that its price volatility. When it's price goes down it gives chance to those traders to purchase more bitcoin and if it goes up, there is a chance to sell in a higher value. So i guess volatility of a bitcoin is not really a bad thing for me.

Volatile isn't bad or evil it is because some participants in the market can't stomach such moves and as a result you see these bigger companies trying to appease the small guy. With high volatility comes great risk but also comes great rewards. That is why some players like this and some participants don't like this. Hence also why I think less big sharks got into Bitcoin at the beginning because of this. Wait until the futures market comes out in a week a lot more sharks are going to jump on board and it isn't because Bitcoin wasn't always a good asset it is because they can now have multiple ways to play the market which is what the big guys like.

Totally agree. Volatility has positive and negative effect. I believe that the volatile nature of bitcoin makes it more popular and demand higher. This can even give us greater opportunity for a higher profit. Long term and short term investors have different views on this, but a wise investors takes advantage of the low season such as the whales that can manipulate for their benefit. Small and short term traders just have to go with the market flow and invest more time as well to observe and make profit for themselves.

Instability is to a point nice and unhealthy.Volatile-obligated to vary quickly and eccentrically, notably for the a lot of unfortunate. therefore being merchandiser and money specialist of bitcoin, i actually apprehensive can|that will my venture will vanish like air pockets and no ROI if the price goes down and no incentive by any means that. a way or another, the opposite route around is nice if the price goes up and systematically increasing then this is often an honest result of my profit and that i would contribute more and more and get bitcoin.

Volatility of bitcoin or any other Alts is one way trader creates profit. And the fact that the token price is base on supply and demand, then the price will really going to be a roller coaster ride.

Market uncertainty is worse. It is difficult to predict the direction in which prices will go

[robynmario]

I think that's the essence of the crypto market, it's not a bad thing. That is a special feature in the operation of the crypto market. And that is the important point showing the success of bitcoin. That change has made many people rich. A coin will be successful if the community is interested and used. It will be the focus of attention all over the world. Bitcoin has achieved that.

Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

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?

 

It is so sad people always look at the decline side when they hear of the word volatility neglecting the fact that volatility can also mean jumping from low to high. Bitcoin has made a good history of jumping from low to high many times than declining from high to low. Even with the decline, we call it "the phase for the bullish investor". This becomes when investors get the chance to buy more and hodl. Bitcoin has saved a lot from financial stresses and with that we must uphold it and always look at the brighter side of it.

Its good when it increases after you buy it and bad after you buy it but decreases, that is bitcoin's volatility. Bitcoin has the highest volatility rate in the market since it has high demand from the investors, in fact bitcoin's volatility rate can make its price to 0-100 and 100-0 that is how high it is. Volatility rate reflects how the coin is demanded from the market which ia good.

Volatility as bad thing? Not at all!

 If you are going to think about it deeply, volatility is what makes bitcoin a threat to centralization. One factor why the rich gets richer in stocks is because of its predictability. They can predict the rise and fall of the chart, even dictate it, therefore making them having all the upper hand. In bitcoin, it's different. It levels the field, making it fair for all investors.

The market is currently very much discounted, and the fluctuations often occur in addition to many cases happened big swing but still recovering later, I think that the current investors have a failure. Think privately is to achieve high profits in a short time.

Bitcoin prices are decreasing when you can catch it as a positive side. Because you can buy bitcoin at a lower price and sell it at a high price at the right time, you can get positive benefits from this. But if you are only a seller and an employee who depends on the highest possible value of bitcoin, you may face losses. Overall, I can say that bitcoin's unrest is completely dependent on the person and there are two major effects of bitcoin fluctuations, which are positive and negative, and the advantages and advantages

Volatility is not a bad thing because this is the real status in the market, the rise and fall encourage investor to sell and buy bitcoin in low price. I

[BitcoinNational]

If it wasn't , I guess it wouldn't be so interesting to invest in it. It depends on which side you are.
But it clearly have some disadvantages, like the big correction since december

[Tukang Becak]

No, if the bitcoin price is stable then no one will want to use, the interesting thing about bitcoin is volatility, and if we as an experienced trader then can get profit in any condition.

The volatility is one of the characteristic of bitcoin, you cannot say that it is a bad thing that you can have a great profit from it, and this is good opportunity as a trader and you just need to use its volatility at a right time. Always make a wise decision by doing trading at high and low price of bitcoin to achieve your expected profit.

High votality is good and you can always get profit from it by buying the coin on its lowest part,  wait for it to rise then dump.
The only downside is,  the coin with so much volatility is not good to hold unless its Bitcoin.

Actually, volatility in the market is good because it is the reason why people are creating different speculations in order to determine what will happen and because of that, some are investing a huge amount of investment and some are not so you should always check the market's prices before deciding to make an action.

I don't think being volatile is a bad thing. That only indicates that we can't predict the value of btc all the time. It may rise or it may go down hill. It's a matter of being a good handler of the coins. You should know when to buy/sell/trade. The fact that bitcoin is volatile is a factor of it's rise and all. It can easily increase and may be double in value and decrease triple. That's how it works 😊
