Bitcoin volatility has attracted a vast amount of traders, because you can simultaneously lose your shirt or achieve incredible gains quickly.  So from that perspective day traders love it. 
However as a currency method, bitcoin's volatility keeps it from being a stable coin capable of storing value.  Stable coins are characterized by minimal volatility.  If you look at the volatility in traditional foreign exchange markets, they have some of the lowest volatilities out of any asset class in the world.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing but when it comes to the usage of it as a payment system, we expect the same value of it for the long term to continue using it as a payment system on a regular basis. However, since bitcoin is in the development phase, it would not be a wise idea to expect stability from it at least for next 5 to 10 years but still, volatility doesn't make it useless.
The volatility of bitcoin is what makes bitcoin a great investment yes many will lose money but we are not here to be taken care off, bitcoin is a true meritocracy and if you want to make money then you need to be a better trader and earn your place if you cannot then you lose your money it is a really simple concept and one I support.

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?

 Huh Huh Huh
Honestly bitcoin votality is not a bad thing because normal for crypto currency will up and down its value.We should be respect this situation because when it goes up everyone of us will benifits the income we absorb.We dont have to worry because bitcoin will never make us upset but make us rich.

Certainly - if Bitcoin is stable, the traders will never use their chances to get profits. It is volatility exactly that made many investors really very rich.

   Nothing is bad or good by itself. Is kitchen knife bad? Well in hands of mindless person it may become bad thing but on professional cook's table it may be great tool.
   We just have to be aware of bitcoin's price volatility and face some risk. Dont convert all you have to bitcoin, be reasonable

Yes, bitcoin volatility is a bad thing and also a good thing. It is bad because the price is doesnt fix (maybe low and sometimes high).  It is a good thing for the investors because while the price is low it is a big opportunity to buy some coins.

I think bitcoin volatility is not bad because we can find a lower price to buy bitcoin and then we can sell if the price increase again. it also good for the investor like us if we can buy at lower price. but if we don't like the volatility, we don't have to buy bitcoin because the volatility will always happen in cryptocurrency no matter we like or not like. so I think with the volatility, the price for bitcoin and altcoin can go increase higher and will down to making a correction so finally, the price could go up higher again.

Volatility is not a bad thing but it impacts others when they  didn't pay a proper attention like last year in December suddenly the bitcoin prices reached at top and on the next day the price started falling down.
so all those who were paying a proper attention earn a lot bu selling at that point. But others who were taking this volatility as non serious ended up with losses.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Afterall traders live from volatility and some have made a fortune on it.
I think it's crucial to accept volatility as completely natural part of Bitcoin and the way how it's functioning. Don't expect that Bitcoin price will ever be stable. But that is the point of it, isn't it?

Everything in this world has both good and bad side. All we need is positivity, patience, and real commitment. Volatility can be a disadvantage, because it makes carry trades less attractive. This means high yielding currencies will do less well, but I think it's not fatal, because it will surely soar high again from crash.

It is sort of a bad thing. Why? Bitcoin being volatile makes it risky to invest to it since there is a chance to lose profit qhenever the market value is falling. But there are some that are making profit out of it such as buying at dips and selling at pumps which results to huge profit. So maybe it will just deoend on the perspective of a user.

A bad thing? You're kidding! Smiley
Of course, if you want to use bitcoin as a currency, with a so high volatility your accountant would get mad, but as a trader is a pure heaven!
I remember in forex, when I lost my days just waiting for a 0,00... change.
Hire, with bitcoin that jumps up and down 10% daily, is simply FANTASTIC!

Volatility with bitcoin is not such a bad thing but it can effect on the mind of people. People deals with this coin only for getting benefit and bitcoin gives very big amount of profit to the people at sometimes.
For this reason people are being more depending on bitcoin and some people can not buy bitcoin at that time.

Every action have some reactions but nothing lays down so that it will keep going at future. people of all over the world are joining with this coin and it is a limited coin so that it will be more expensive at future that all we know. It is so much volatility but if you can know about this system correctly then you will see that it is a promising coin.

Volatility with bitcoin is the greatest thing. It's the feature I like it the most. If you want a stable price you can get gold and silver. Without volatility with Bitcoin will be like very boring.

If you use bitcoin as a currency, maybe volatility is negative. For investors and traders it's not bad, if everything is right to do

Yes, you are right. I think this is not a bad thing nor a good thing. It seems to be a Bitcoin nature and cryptocurrency because they are coded, based on technology. They are traded, sell and buy every day so the fluctuation is a common thing. And as you said, we only need to pay attention to the price of Bitcoin as it fluctuates to make the right decision.

Bitcoin is the volatile currency and i hope that bitcoin volatility is most interesting factor of this currency and for me it is not a bad thing because as we see that like the bitcoin price rises the crypto market goes up and through this way many new investors are coming into this market and the volatility of bitcoin is associated to the bad news because when there is a bad news spread in the market the bitcoin and other crypto falling start so in my opinion bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing.

Good or bad, it isn't gonna get better than that. Volatility is what makes it genuinely bitcoin. It just adds
flare to it, without the other stuff bitcoin is made out like decentralization and the ever elusive anonymity
 it wouldn't be so popular. It's considered unstable more or so, but the fluctuations have also positive effects,
if it can decrease in value it also can and will increase it's price. The beauty of it all is that, with all the
concerns surrounding it's features it's also gaining more notability and it's getting more expensive.
It's a very fantastic piece of innovation, it is change.

Bitcoin volatility is not bad, it just represents the supply and demand at the market. If many people buys bitcoin the lesser the supply left, and the lesser supply the higher bitcoin value price will be at the market.

It is both a good thijg and a bad thing. Volatility nakes the priced unpreditably positivr but it hangs on the notion that it is a bubble about to burst. Either way it is a risk I'm willing to make.

In business,  their is really its ups and downs so does with the value of the currency. For me, the volatility of bitcoin Currency is just normal. It all depends on the demand of the investor. The law of demand and supply applies to this situations.
