Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[Hell-raiser]

The huge volatility in bitcoin is not a bad thing, it is a common market trend in crypto-currencies market, but it might pose some dangers to new investors who are thinking to get rich with crypto-currencies overnight as they might loan a huge amount of funds from banks to invest in it, and if there is a huge price dip, it could spell troubles for them.

Why is it not a bad thing? It may be instrumental in earning handsome profits via speculation, I understand that, but speculation cannot last on its own for long, still less for ever. Without adoption in the real world it will eventually run out of Steam. Hell, it already did just that. There is definitely a limit as to how high the price might climb, and then we're in for a serious trouble unless volatility subsides and real world usage expands.

Yes, I think this volatility is a bad thing as I scares people.
Some people hate gambling and at the moment, this is pretty much what bitcoin is.

Scares people? Probably before but i don't think volatility is a negative aspect of btc. If anything i think its evem oneof the things that attract investors. It's volatility is even a bit relaxed than most coins in the crypto market

The volatility of bitcoin is an objective reality. It shouldn't frighten users. Many of the people are accustomed to this phenomenon and have learned to benefit from it. For traders on the stock exchange the volatility of cryptocurrency is a Paradise. For trading is not good but we can't see the real opportunities that now bitcoin could be used in trade in goods. Maybe in the future something will change.

There are two sides of the bitcoin world when it comes to trading, those that are making money and those that are losing money. Bitcoin volatility is either a good or a bad thing depending on where you are standing on those two sides. You can hate bitcoin volatility all you want maybe because you lost money or whatever but there will always be people loving bitcoin's volatility because they have made money from it. In trading, it's totally a zero sum game. Those that are super late in selling their coins (or to put it in a better way, the ones that are too late to jump the ship) will be the one on the losing side and you don't want to be in that side. So always remember that whenever you've made money from trading, someone is ought to lose money, it just hasn't happened yet.

that means current bitcoin volatility is currently good? prices are always rising, meaning the state of the mood of the market is good as well. Taking advantage of this situation, selling quickly is a good way to get a victory, is not that what you mean?

Just recently bitcoin has risen in price and it is increasing more, if a person bought bitcoin long ago and he just spent $10k for bitcoin and the present price of bitcoin is nearly about $20k then how can we say that the person has made wrong decision and the volatility of bitcoin is bad so! Bitcoin is increasing and the volatility of bitcoin is a good thing for the growth of bitcoin in this era and it will not stop increasing.

For the rest of our life bitcoin is going to be high so it is not a bad thing. If a person will buy it at low price and then hold it long and long time but still don’t earn then no use of it. So it is good that bitcoin always change in price and increase more and more. I am pretty sure it will never stop increasing, bitcoin is good for the investors and the people who hate bitcoin are the people who have no information about it so let them be.

Bitcoins are normal they are not that much scary, but yes if you take about other altcoins, yes theory are scary. You don’t have any solid idea what is going to happen with your investment right now. Lila you said, volatility is not a bad aspect of bitcoin rather it is a real beauty. Bitcoin is totally dependent on this volatility if you talk about the fame and popularity it gets. So, it is not scary.

Bitcoin volatility are both good and bad, Depends how you are affected with your holdings, When it is good if the price pumps and profitable to your investment, When we say if you earn nothing to your investment. There are also instances when the price slow down investors also grab the opportunity to buy and sell when price up. The fluctuation are both very useful in trading.

Volatility is a good thing. Experienced traders have good profit from it. It allows you to call bitcoin a large amount of capital. You can see how bitcoin grows in value. All this happens primarily due to the volatility. I do not trade on the exchange. But I also get dividends from this, the constant increase in prices. In Fiat all the profits from inflation given to those who control the economy. That is why the volatility does not scare bitcoin users.

Volatility is blessing because due to volatility bitcoin gives profit and if it will become stable then there will be not that much fan following and investor’s concern to it and sooner or later whole world will start using it and the volatility is the best thing in bitcoin that gives maximum profit to it and if it becomes stable then it will be like cash money and the profit will be like only one or two dollars during the whole month,

[lucy1215]

If the volatility of bitcoin is increasing that is a good thing and advantage to all investors who is holding the Bitcoin. I would only consider a bad thing if the value is decreasing and go to the lowest level it only means loss to all investors who invested in bitcoin. But as of the moment it is advantage to all early investors because their investment had gained a lot of profit already.

[djkyno]

The price's volatility is not a bad thing because its motivating so many investors and crypto traders to buy and hold Bitcoin. If the price was stable BTC will become like fiat currencies and only few number will interest about dealing with it.

[faceoff97]

Well volatility is one of the characteristic of bitcoin, you cannot say that it is a bad thing you can have a great from it, you just need to use its volatility to benefits a lot from it and have a really great profit, just always be careful to make the right decisions.

Bitcoin is bitcoin because of it's volatility. It will not attract this large number of people if it doesn't work that way. Though we might expect that its value reach its stability point but Im not sure if majority of people will finally be into it. Im pretty sure that bitcoin volatility happrns because of sudden increase of demand where large number of people are already coming into bevause of the hope that they might probably gey richer.

[JacLuck]

Indeed and as a trader of bitcoin it will means the higher the spread you have to get and will take you more time to see if your doing good with your trade open deal. The higher the volatility the higher the spread.

[superjeyy]

Volatility is the identifying factor of Bitcoin; it is what makes Bitcoin, Bitcoin. It gave Bitcoin the unique identity that makes people curious and challenged to try investing in this currency. The volatility of Bitcoin may be so dense at times that it can greatly affect our expected profit. Personally, I don't think that Bitcoin volatility is a bad thing but something of an advantage. Having low Bitcoin rates is an opportunity to buy and collect some more while high price would be for the benefit of the users. I guess it just really depends on how you choose to view things.

[ronafurw]

For the now, my answer is no but in the future maybe my answer will be change to yes. Because in the long run investments volatility is a not good thing.

Well, my answer will remain same forever because if bitcoin will stop increasing or decreasing in value, the number of investors are going to decrease. People are leaving gold for bitcoin because of the only one reason i.e. its unstable nature.

I don’t think so there is anyone who is in favor of bitcoin for become stable in price. The stability will make it hard to buy bitcoin and make profit with it. I hope it stays the way it is.

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?

 

In some instances, it is since volatility in the first place is a negative thing especially into investments. Its volatility makes it hard for Bitcoin to be accepted to most of the countries due to its volatility. But chances are high that when the day come that Bitcoin is legal to most of the countries and with such Volatility might be somewhat controlled.

Surely it is like this because people invest in bitcoin to have profit and it is not possible at the same price selling and buying so if a person is really willing to invest in bitcoin he will have to make sure if he is buying at 10k then after holding he will be able to sell it at 20k otherwise it is useless. Bitcoin as high profit making ability and this is the reason why it is famous for its volatility.
