Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[blackbutterfly]

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 volatality is too lie to call bad thing. Its not a bad thing all ussers know it also if it is bad why many users came in that so its surely not a bad thing.

in this case it's bad. It makes no sense to compare the shares of Amazon with bitcoin. The shares of Amazon have a completely different purpose, unlike bitcoin.

We can say that bitcoin is so volatile. First of all, if we should take the risk? We did not know whats gonna happen. Bitcoin is so volatile, but theres a lot of pros and cons on it. We know what will happen if bitcoin value will go high, so we have take advantage on it. We should not say bitcoin being is a bad thing.

For traders of currencies, the large price volatility is good. It gives you the opportunity to make a bigger profit. If bitcoin is to be used for payment, the high volatility is unfavorable because it will affect the price of the product or service.

[Carlsen]

One thing the high volatility does as well: it keeps bitcoin in the media.
What seems to be more intresting for the media than a rising bitcoin price is when they can report that the charts go down.
Bitcoin goes up and down, so the media have always something to report.
Even if its bad news, it is better than no news at all. If bitcoin would stagnate, I assume we would very soon have no reports at all.
Without public notification, a slow and silent downtrend could start.

I don't think high volatility is necessarily a bad thing -- there is more risk involved but there is also a better opportunity to earn more profits.  High volatility increases the risk of both failure and success.

High volatility can provide almost infinite opportunities to trade the swing. Numerous lesser payoffs in a short period of time may result in more profit than one large cash-out after several years of waiting.

It can be good or bad depending on the situation. If the volatility leads to pumps, then it is considered to be a good thing while on the other way around, when the volatility leads to dump, then it is a bad thing. The volatility is not a friend you can trust, you should always be smart and mindful with the volatility so you may know when to hold or sell which can cause you a lot of benefits.

I don't think so. Bitcoin's volatility is one of the main reason why investors got attracted to investing here. If the volatility would be removed, bitcoin will surely loose its popularity and the demand will totally decrease. The volatility also gives the investors and the users the chance to have a higher profit wherein as the value pumps up, the profit will surely do so also.

NOPE, but i think that is the best quality of bitcoin that vary price with time as due to which large number of traders are attracting toward bitcoin and investing their money in bitcoin as they are getting opportunity of trading here while also due to varying price of bitcoin all members are keeping their money for long time so that as price is increased then their saving money is also increased.

I thinks the volatility of the bitcoin is not a bad thing, it is the mean thing due to which all user can earn good income. If the value of the bitcoin is always going up then it effect the high investor, because they have to pay for their worker in bitcoins and when they buy the bitcoin more money required. when the value of the bitcoin go high then the workers get benefit of it. So the volatility of the bitcoin is GOOD not BAD.

Volatility its not bad it just a thing that common to one another.we cant say that Bitcoin volatility is a bad thing,because we dont even know whats the fact and reason why this all circumstances sudden it happened and it doesnt meant to anyone.

[sheldonnnn]

This is absolutely normal. Bitcoin is so popular and widespread because of it's volatility. Volatility is great for investors because it allows to get a bigger profit.

[CryptoPsycho]

I am not sure that bitcoin is really volatile It is pretty stable cryptocurrency and many people choosing bitcoin cause of stable and high price. Altcoins is much more worts in this case.

[Semosuchi Tesongrato]

High volatility is not at all a bad thing; actually, it's very good if you know how to manage it and to profit.
Of course, if we are talking about trading.
To use bitcoin as currency, a so high volatility is a real problem

[Rulelies]

Volatility is something many businesses experience. The only difference is that for other businesses, there are agencies one can hold responsible when it happens. Many people are not comfortable with Bitcoin because there is no person or agency that can be held accountable when it happens.

[Dondon1234]

No its not a bad thing becuase thats the ability of bitcoin, we didnt pridect how much bitcoin can up or donw,  al we need is patient, we all no bitcoin is dipending in investors.

It depends: if you want to use bitcoin as a currency, of course its volatility can be a big problem to evaluate the price of something.
But for good investors, high volatility gives the possibility to make enormous profit, if you know ho to manage it.

So it is primarily an asset and a terrible use of a currency. A good way to demonstrate is to ask people, especially the HODLers, if they would take their entire salary in Bitcoin if given the option. There are two people who might, those who are reckless/gamblers and those who aren't dependent on the income in the immediate term and can risk the volatility of having their income potentially locked up at a loss for an extended period of time. But you will find most people would not agree to this because most people cannot afford the uncertainty of not knowing what their income is worth, because there are real life financial obligations that are denominated in a stable value, and Bitcoin is not. It's a terrible currency.

I guess bitcoin is not the only financial asset in the economy which experiences this kind of extreme movements. We can take a look at stock trading, which is officially accepted and acknowledge by different countries, its value fluctuates over time and there where those companies where volatility is relevant.

The more volatile it is, the higher risk it poses. In return higher return if u struck it right.

Bitcoin’s volatility is sometimes considered a bad thing if I were to say, because for example if you want to keep hodling it for a long time thinking all the while after a year or two you can gain more. Its not that easy to just let your money stay there and in the end the price is lower than you thought it is. You cannot consider it as a time deposit due to its volatility. So for me it is a bad thing as an investor. The inflation of fiat money is always up while bitcoin is unpredictable. That is only my own point of view.

[Ryan Tirta Permana]

Volatility bitcoin it depends on the person seeing it, I think that bitcoin volatility that could be an advantage for me, and I think that is one of the reasons why many people are interested in bitcoin.
