I think there are still people that stick to stocks because of the volatility. Yes you can make big money, but you can also lose big time.

Volatility is bad if you want Bitcoin to be the main currency for the whole system.

But if you instead make a currency that has a fee of transaction that is extremely low and 1:1 transfer between a national currency to a cryptocurrency then you have a working solution.

It's a good thing if you're a trader, an investor, a speculator. It's a bad thing if you're trying to run a business that buys ingredients for fiat and sells product for Bitcoins. You will have to convert every month to pay your employees and suppliers and a few months of a bear market can bankrupt you.

Only volatile thing give you additional money. Once the price of bitcoin is fluctuates to low value you can brought, if the price fluctuates to higher value then just sell your bitcoin. This is advantage to Bitcoin not a bad thing. So with this volatility you have to use it wisely for the profit. Now the price of bitcoin is again start to raise.

Bitcoin's volatility have been a huge drawback in the first years of bitcoin and made it vary in a very pejorative way with lots of dumps and decrease in hardly reached value , but from the beginning of 2017 and through these past 10 months bitcoin's volatility was it's strong side and it made people more and more amazed by it so people are not seeing it a bad thing any more .

high volatility is certainly good for traders, but it seems to me, this doesn't give bitcoin win the universal trust...many people need a stage

[supercanada1]

As for me, I take Bitcoin volatility as the greatest chance to trade smartly. if you understand the scheme of its ups and downs you can earn a lot!

Yeah this is most important to have faith in bitcoin and not to sell when you see bitcoin price low and wait it will be high again to give you high profit, in bitcoin price use to change day by day and it is getting more high when price increase more and more so it is good to take it in a positive way and making good business with it as you will know how to manage it when you see bitcoin price a little low. You should wait till price will grow again more than the amount of money you invested.

Well actually there is no harm in saying that Btc's volatility is both good and bad. This is a known fact. But if we want to use it as a payment method, this volatility has some negative effects.

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's volatility is partly positive and partly negative. This depends on the application and aspect of Bitcoin. Volatility is a good thing for the investors and traders because they gain more when the price suddenly increases. However, it becomes negative to practicality. Many accepts Bitcoin as payment but every minute of everyday the price changes. Perhaps merchants are getting pissed because of the excessive fluctuations. Let's add the fact that transaction fee is an added burden.

Volatility will stay since it is a part of Bitcoin after all. Alternatives must be considered, I must say.

Everyone knows Bitcoin is highly volatile and maybe that is the basic reason why so many people like to invest in Bitcoin for the simple rule - shot term investment giving more profit than any other stuff. So, volatility is best thing in Bitcoin, it may eventually kill altcoin if Bitcoin rises sharply but on the whole the people who HODL Bitcoin definitely enjoy the benefits of volatility as it also allows them to sell at high and buy at low making more investment in the general period.

It can be a bad thing because being a volatile doesn't mean that the coins are always rising and more specifically the bitcoins. Yes being volatile of bitcoins today is great because the value grows always and pump so big. But what if it comes to an end? All of our hard works just to gain bitcoins all of our money and savings in them when the bitcoins already fall which they will be in the future what will happen to the rest of the investors. Just thinkbthe reality it is not always christmas so the price eill not always be on top.

Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

As far as I know the crypto world has all sorts of users and volatility might be good for some people and bad to others but imo I think if will want mainstream adoption of bitcoin volatility will be a turn off unless it gets to stabilize, but hey what can i say bitcoin has more investor minded users so volatility is good to keep the community alive.

In my opinion volatility is not a bad thing in bitcoin as it is the main feature which make this digital currency distinctive from others. But in some cases it proves out to be the worst thing like steam one of the largest online video games platform ban accepting bitcoin because of the high transaction fees and it's volatility as when the price fall without any control they incurr loses so that's why it proves fatal for them but for investors it attracts them as they can make early profits by price hype. So the opinions vary according to the needs of community but personally i don't think it as a bad feature but a great one.

Same is my thinking volatility is the best thing that is in bitcoin it give you room to make a lot of profit if prices get stabled then bitcoin will not gain anymore popularity because people want to earn random profit and surprisingly huge and all that come from the volatility and if it will become stable it will be like flat and gold and will lose its investor when an new investment will come into the market to give people ease.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing for me personally when we look at it subjectively.. But objectively as we want it to be accepted and adaptive to the society,, it is big concern within the businesses sector.. After all bitcoin is not really meant to be a currency for this reason but we can’t deny that we really badly needed such implementation to gain more investors in cryptocurrency.. Bad or not,, I’m profiting from its fluctuating price  so I’m good with it..

For me it was a great thing to bitcoin. Because volatility is what people get interested to get involved in bitcoin. Volatile value now is very high, everybody is surprised about the price now. Especially there's a promising price now that is so very high. Evrycbody is excited especially the bitcoiners that only hoping for their small salary, you can't explain the happiness the get in a simple way. How much more the traders and investors feel for a big profit?

[jackiemixon2]

No, volatility isn't a bad thing for Bitcoin for sure because it's the way investors of Bitcoins making the money. Buy low and sell high.

Being a decentralized currency,volatility is the main feature of bitcoin.It is due to this volatile nature,more countries still don't agree to legalize bitcoin.For a currency to get used in mainstream,it should not be highly volatile.But bitcoin volatility would remain and could not be solved.

Volatility is not a feature from the bitcoin because that was just a nature from the demand meet the supply. The volatility give uncertainty to the price and that's why majority of government consider it as the investment with a high risk. Because there is no actual price to the bitcoin.
Volatility as a nature aspect from the bitcoin.

actually sometime people thinks that when price of anything jump speedly then it's easy type of pump by some people but in actual it is not a truth Here people are thinking that price of Bitcoin is going speedly up that is a type of pump but in actual it is not a pump its price increased due to increase in demand so here we should not think that this type of volatility in the price of Bitcoin is a negative thing and is bad for investment .
Yeah volatility in the price of Bitcoin is it big opportunity for us so we should take it positive and buy with small drop in price and sell with small increase in price this is types of trading that we can do easily with this such type of volatility in the price of Bitcoin.
