Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[Ewinsane]

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.

Things change very much with time, sometimes it doesn’t happen as expected and we can’t say anything about the future of bitcoin or any other currency or any other thing because things don’t remain the same, even things chance within seconds.

As bitcoin is a digital currency and its price depends upon its demand, which is based on the change occurring in seconds, that’s why regular ups and downs occur in its price.

First thing we know about bitcoin price is that volatility of its price and this is the surprise  thing that investors would always check .Bitcoin has no impact if the price does'nt flactuates anymore.This is not bad because from the start we did not know where it ends or it became stable for the future.

I have the very same opinion because bitcoin volatility is one of the major features of bitcoin which are attracting masses to invest into this currency. People need profits on urgent basis or you can say in short time period and this is not possible with old mode of investments such as gold, real estate etc. indeed bitcoin pumps and dumps are really attractive for investors and this thing is playing major role in making bitcoin popular.

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.

Yes, and I would like to add that so far the volatility of bitcoin has shown the positive indications and it has profited a lot of people around the world. Now all those people who had first hand knowledge of the crypto currency have already invested in the bitcoins and they made a huge money from this volatility. Another thing is that even after its high value, the demand of bitcoin is still very much in the market and it shows the positivity for the future.

For a long term investments it is risky but for a day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents a chance of making profit. Logically it is much easier to predict short-term prices and trends in any cryptocurrency. I would say that ordinary currencies are volatile as well, e.g. many factors influence what you can buy for 100$.

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?

 

high volatility mean high changes of price it is easy to lost more than 1,000$

also it is big problem for who want to trade

Think positively mate if price decline for 1000$ then see the volatility has given use 5000$ in previous week in only two days if volatility factor get vanished then there will be no high profit and stable bitcoin will not fascinate people as it is doing now and people will take put their money and will be in search of some other investment which is volatile and give them huge money in smaller times, volatility is need of people.

In my opinion, it is. The market value of Bicoin is what making it interesting as a currency and as an investment. It determines what will be the profit of its users and investors such as if the market value is increasing, the profit becomes bigger and vice versa.That is why there are lots of people here who are monitoring its market value from the market.

[richmcrich]

I don't think so. Because of bitcoin's volatility, a lot of windows of opportunity is opened and the chance for a successful investment increases. The only thing that we should be mindful about is when to invest, because if the volatility is not monitored well by a person, the investment could end up as a failure.

Funny enough, the volatility has really made good traders very wealthy right now. For those who have been trading pretty well for a long time now and then understands how to trade effectively and safely; ask and they will tell you they are just so much in love with the volatility.

These are normal things to expect for a new market, things would change later on when we won't always have some huge volatility like what we are seeing now, but for now, we just have to stick with what is at hand.

I also think that bitcoin volatility is best thing in bitcoin and it is just a way for bitcoin to grow and bitcoin is getting high because of it.  Now everyone is aware of it that bitcoin is volatile and it is main reason for bitcoin to grow and people love it for this. According to me bitcoin volatility is best thing and it is main source of income for a lot of people. Bitcoin is not going to decrease the value and importance until bitcoin price stop increasing.

With an investment asset that isn't tied to anything but based purely on the hopes of its investors, i believe volatility is the best thing to happen to bitcoins because its the reason why the value is always growing whenever more and more people invest in bitcoins without the volatility, Bitcoin wouldn't be as valuable as it is at the moment.

For an investment asset yes but that is not what bitcoin is considered to be or what the hopes for it are. For the bitcoin vision to be achieved of being a global currency and replacing fiat, volatility is one of the biggest roadblocks.

[jaaeeeyyyy]

I think it has a both Good and bad thing in a way that it could rise rapidly or loss that value fastly , bitcoin rose up over 50% in just a couple of months and made me think that investors are greed in bitcoins but also made me curious what if it decrease in less time than months and drop for over 60%. But for now, i can see that bitcoin is growing much far for over the past years.

This is normal in every market and I see this as a opportunity to make money. In trading you must know how to ride the trend in order to make money, and because of volatility we make good money.

Volatility is very good and is the way which we earn from cryptocurrencies, but it can be very bad when Volatility is taken too far ( I actually mean when it turns to speculation) I won’t really say that Volatility, because without it, we won’t be earning anything reasonable from Bitcoin and other crypto currencies.

I agree...we can't answer that the volatility of bitcoin is bad, because in many cases it is who makes a lot of money for people...so at the moment it can be well used if you know how to use it

For me, the volatility of the bitcoin is not a disadvantage. I think it is advantage for us investors. We can easily earn big amount of money by doing bitcoin investment. So volatility is good for me.

I agree, volatility is not a bad thing, it depends the way people look at it. For those who are trading and investing, the volatility of the price of a certain coin is good for them because that means more profit they can get. If we look at it positively there would be no problem about it because at first we already made a choice to engage with cryptocurrencies.

[paul00]

I guess bitcoins volatility is an innate feature of bitcoin and should not be considered as bad thing for it is what bitcoin is. I guess bitcoin is not the only financial asset in the econony which experiences this kind of extreme movements. We can take a look at stock trading, which is officially accepted and acknowledge by amthe countries, its value fluctuates over time and there where those companies where volatility is relevant.

[Isaacck1]

It depends on the person who holds their bitcoin whether its volatility is a good thing or not. For trader and holders, it is a good thing since for them to make profit, they need fluctuation and bitcoin is the perfect currency for that. Some say that the volatility of bitcoin is one of its nature and one of its best characteristics but it all depends to the user in my opinion.

[zombie6]

The crypto currency market is completely speculative! and the volatility of bitcoin is not bad or good! and this is a given
