Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[noloco]

Volatility is bad if you need to trade and the market is not in your favor.

Today you plan to buy a car tomorrow, Would you be able to pay for it or you will need to wait 3 days because tomorrow the market crashed? Could you afford to eat tomorrow if you are rich today?

What time frame do you consider reasonable for planning tasks related to money? Days, months, years... seconds?

The Volatility is bad to make bitcoin as acceptable benchmark to valuating other assets as to much variations could lead to unstable economy.
Hence there should be a mechanism in place to regulate the volatility and fluctuations.

I thinkit has a negative and a possitive effrct volatility of bitcoin has also a  positve side  specially when it will slowly rising up maybe that was the time of selling for huge profit because if bitcoin price is really stable i think the excitement in bitcoin may loss and all investors also maybe loss.

If you could incash in your country then incash when the price is right. Volatility makes bitcoin attractive to investors when the price drops then invest and earn when the price rise. Even though volatility is sometimes a bad thing but would you still invest in bitcoin if the price is high and stable? Look at the bright side.

Boлaтильнocть нe мoжeт быть xopoшим или плoxим фaктopoм. Ктo-тo зapaбaтывaeт ктo-тo тepяeт дeньги нa нeй. Ecли paccмaтpивaть вoлaтильнocть кaк плoxoй пoкaзaтeль, тoгдa нe cтoит и вoвce зaнимaтьcя тopгoвлeй нa биpжe.

well just hodl if you can't take risk and accept the lost that's the only thing you can do when market is crashing.

volatility in my perspective can only be a bad thing for accounting and tax authorities, they can't estimate exactly the value of the networth of a person if he/she holds a lot of cryptocurrency as an investment.

No volatility should be expect now and if it wasnt volatile I would be worried. However, the volatility needs to be reduced. Once BTC is more stable then its can be explored as a method to pay for more goods and services.

Its a typical to bitcoin to have a volatility sometimes,but it doesnt matter as long as you know how to control it.,but dont worry it will goes back to normal again,.

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?

 

I think bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing. In fact it creates opportunities to some to earn by the scheme, buy low sell high.

I believe that the volatility of Bitcoin is not a bad thing. It also brings good thing or advantages to bitcoin users and holders. Volatility would bring opportunity to non bitcoin holders to invest and buy bitcoin when the price decreases. On the other hand, it also brings good luck to those holders because they can sell their bitcoin when the price would increase. The market for Bitcoin is alive because of volatility.

I am trader and for me it is not a bad thing. Being volatile for me is advantage because I earned big amount of money because all of the cryptocurrencies have the characteristics of volatility.

There are advantages and disadvantages of volatility of the bitcoin. There are many people who are afraid to the bitcoin because they say that they can easily lose their money on the bitcoin. The price of the bitcoin is always changing and that is the reason why many people are still not doing investment with bitcoins.

Bitcoin is so volatile that your ability to buy and sell at the right price is diminished, hence the lower risk-adjusted returns. Bitcoin volatility can be traded. It is important to watch out for this parameter, as it shows the market sentiment of the underlying product.

The higher the implied volatility, the more expensive is the call option. It is a good thing for now.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing, it's normal. When the price is decreasing, that is the time for us to buy bitcoins to hold. And when the price is high, that is the time to sell our bitcoins to have larger profit. If the bitcoin price is not volatile, I think there will be no people who will buy bitcoins beause the price is steady and they can't have profit.

Not actually that much but it can cause you bad things if ever dumps will occur during your holding. Bitcoin's volatility has been one of the main reason why it ended up being very popular all over the world. I think we should consider it neutral since it does not choose any sides whether it will rise or fall in no time. It is very much expected that the volatility will affect our profit and we should live with that.

The thought you said comes in my mind when i read the post. Well i guess living in volatility makes investing on bitcoin exciting. It will take guts for someone to invest on a volatile investment and make profit out of it. Which means bitcoin has hugh risk and the higher the risk makes a higher profit. So yes we better live with its volatility.

Volatility is both the down side and the up side of your bitcoin.  

Downside when:
 the price is low and you badly want to sell,
 or when you just sold some and the price only just rose only recently
 or when the price is high and you want to buy

Volatility becomes an advantage when:
      prices are high and you want to sell immediately..(no way predicting the top price though)
       Or when you decide to buy coins when prices are low


According to charts, price can go smoothly up but suddenly down...
One time it's consistent up then suddenly drops..

Volatility can bring you both experience and opportunity

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing, rather it is a positive thing ahead of greater things to happen. There is always time and season , a time to sow and a time to reap, similarly Bitcoin volatility is a period of investing which is characterize with buying at the period of the dip and selling at the peak of the rise in price of Bitcoin.Bitcoin volatility is good and highly profitable, buying at low price and selling at the peak of the price. It therefore mean that all investors and holders of bitcoin need to Personally  understand what Bitcoin is characterize with  and also hold and be in control of their bitcoins, as the issue of Volatility is from the existence of bitcoin, which experienced holders of bitcoin have come to realize.

Volatility is a positive thing for me because with the volatility, we can invest in bitcoin and have profits faster than investing into other investment options and that makes me stick with bitcoin because i cannot make a lot of money without the volatility of bitcoin because i am also trading bitcoin and i find it really profitable because of the volatility.

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

Does not it mean that when risking you have all chances to get the largest profit? Experiences investors can foresee the times that are good for buying BTC, and then they sell coins when this crypto costs times more. Volatility gives people a chance to earn.
