Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[akishang]

Volatility is one of the main reason why bitcoin is so popular. I don't think its a bad thing. Before bitcoin was introduced, a lot of people are not willing to risk because of its volatility. But look at those who gamble on bitcoin, they are millionaires now. Volatility  is not a bad thing after all.

There have been periods of low volatility, but these have been few and far between. Bitcoin may be called digital gold, but in terms of volatility, it looks more like stock markets on steroids. As Bitcoin adoption increases and demand increases, its price can move up rapidly.For day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents an opportunity for making profits. By correctly predicting the short-term trends in Bitcoin, traders can make substantial profits; much more than investors who have a buy-and-hold strategy.Highly volatile markets also create demand for secondary derivative products like options. Which i see that bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing after all.

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 😊

Seems like you playing games and test your adrenaline when seeing Bitcoin Price?
Well, many people already Posted that Volatile is good, additional from me, Volatile makes the market alive. People investing to get profit, Bitcoin can provide your profit when it's pumped and it's good time to buy it when the Market Crash, then sell it again. Makes infinite circle.

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?

 

Bitcoin is still a volatile currency in the market, so I do not think there are any significant positions in the market such as Bitcoin. Bitcoin also has a lot of influence on other currencies, in which investors are now buying and holding Bitcoin in the short term.

It really depends on how you look at it and how you use it. For people who use bitcoin only as a currency, volatility is not a good thing because one day they could be spending a small number of coins on something and in a week they could be spending double the number of coins on that product because the price of bitcoin went down. To investors though, volatility is a good thing because it is how you make money from investing in bitcoin, when you buy low and sell when the price goes up.

People has different perspective so some of them are thinking that the changes in the market is bad but volatility is very necessary for you to earn profit, if bitcoins is stable at the very start of time then there is no way for other consumer to invest because the price is very expensive and you will not gain profit from investing on it.

Without volatility, investors in the market and traders will not make any profit. It's good to some people and bad to others just like any other thing in this world. One man's meat is another man's poison.

For me a bad thing in volatility is the low volatility because many people will affect especially their salaries as bounty hunters. Because most of bounty hunters is just hoping for their salary for their needs. But if bitcoin price is rising we are beneficial of the high price value.Exoensive price can only make us feel better because our coins can be multiply into 10 times or more.

Many people would prefer a fixed price but for the people who know how to handle volatility, this may be a good thing.

If there is no volatility then bitcoin will be boring. And in line with your statement traders and the market will be not seeing each other since only volatility has the power to make the traders and the market meet each other. Volatility is the power that turns the wheel of bitcoin, without it bitcoin could not reach the current value of today and will remain at 0.03$ up to now.

No, volatility can get or earn huge moneys because of the prices is unpredictable .It can take advantages whether prices are increasing or decreasing .Value of bitcoin was based on the demand and supply in the marketplace since bitcoin is decentralized we can expect rapidly decreasing or increasing .It has a big impact because when the prices is drcreasing we can buy cheaper coin and invest money with less fees. Then ,when the prices is increasing it csn also our advantage to take huge profit of what we invest money on bitcoin.

Volatility is good for traders, but not for the development of bitcoin as a new global financial system. Now everyone considers bitcoin as a means for investment, and not as a means for exchange. This is not what Satoshi Nakamoto wanted when he invented bitcoin.

[raidarksword]

I don't think so because that's the nature of bitcoin. It's volatility it depends on the market and the investors as well, so i don't think it's a bad thing and considered it a good sign. It may looked bad to other people but not on my point of view.

[Tosin12]

Well bitcoin volatility have two sides to it.  Bitcoin price goes up as high as 600 percent high and it's volatility rear its ugly head at times too so it left for the investors to do his/ her feasibility study very well before taking any decision. With all that said bitcoin volatility is indispensable and shouldn't be excuse to potential investors

[baldur odinson]

The crypto market and Bitcoin are not centralized, and they are not a controlled environment like fiat. The volatility in Bitcoin is not a bad thing to me, it is moving up price in long term. If there was control, no volatility. I think, Over time, prices will settle instead.
