Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[willnotwas]

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?

 

Good or bad, that's only depend on your seeing of bitcoin's purpose - if the long term investment is the way you are looking at bitcoin, volatility can play bad tricks on you. However, you'll adore this quality on the short term. I mean it's all relative, isn't it?

Bitcoin prices are likely to rise sharply among their customers, who sell them for local currency. This price change can eliminate their overall profitability.

For day traders and short-term investors, volatility is a chance to make a profit. By correctly predicting the short-term trend of bitcoin, traders can earn substantial profits. Far more than investors with buy-and-hold strategies.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing but all the currencies are good in respect of volatility and volatility is associated with all types of currencies and for me the best way to make a good decision is to check all the features of this currency like for bitcoin it is highly volatile and many people are happy in the past because the bitcoin price were stable and the growth was good.

Bitcoin volatility is the thing for which many traders invest in this particular cryptocurrency, thanks to the volatility there is a chance to earn a lot of money quickly.

But it is also the worst since there are a lot of people who are not considering to invest on digital currencies because it is volatile, they are saying that it is a high risk.

Volatility is a good thing and a bad thing, well, everything has their own 2 faces, and it is always contrary to each other.

If bitcoin only went up at such a rate, then it would be good. But this can not continue for long. After a sharp rise, there will always be a period of falling, when you can go broke. That's what makes investments in bitcoin so risky.

We all know that it is risky but we can't do anything but to just take the risk because the higher the risk is equal to the higher the possible reward or return that you will get and you can get a lower risk if you have a lot of knowledge and you know what to do with your cryptocurrency like bitcoin. Volatility is not a bad thing because it generates opportunity for fast profits.

No it is very casual in bitcoin that price of bitcoin use to rise and fall but it does not reaming same for the long time, when you see  bitcoin price is increasing then you should sell your bitcoin but as you see the market of bitcoin is changing again then buy more and hold it for long time again, so bitcoin is volatile currency which has very unstable price, bitcoin is decentralization currency, all the bitcoin price use to rise and fall, so it gives us opportunity to buy at low price and to sell at high, same price will not go for long time.

Yes, if Bitcoin moves upwards it is perfectly fine. But if they go too high, it's probably going to be a boom, so many bad behaviors in the Crypto market will happen. In fact, because the price of BTC fluctuated, it attracted many investors into the market. Very high profitability.

[trader34]

Well, in the long run, the decrease of volatility in the market will benefit mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, but at the moment, if you are an experienced trader, volatility allows you to better take advantage of market opportunities.

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.

I think volatility needs to be reduced as it can be explored as a method to pay for more goods and services.

In order for bitcoin to achieve its intended goal of being an actual currency, high volatility is a bad thing. Merchants will not want to accept bitcoin as a method if bitcoins price fluctuates too much. Imagine accepting a bitcoin payment only to have it lose 10% of its value before you sell it due to high volatility. It makes conducting business extremely unfeasible

volatility isn't a bad thing. instead of showing a good indicator that entity in the market has value. volatility is a sign that circulation occurs and economic activity is happening there. sell and buy and interaction between users happening in the market. not only in crypto, basically happening also in fiat currency . on the specific circumstance. volatility also as a wealth indicator that showing progress over a period of years

[sensimilia]

The bitcoin value is rather unstable, therefore large investors were initially cautiously drawn into this business. The degree of risk of losing everything directly depends on the stability and fixidity of the bitcoin course. Therefore, many potential users are simply afraid of being involved. Nevertheless, exchange-rate flexibility plays into the hands, making it possible to obtain a large one-off gain. That’s why we can say that volatility has both pluses and minuses. If you wait a week and then look at the currency market, you will notice that more and more large players enter the field.

[AndrewBrown]

That depends on how you look at it and what you want to use it for. if you wish to use it as a currency then volatility is a bad thing but if you are an investor who is looking to make money in the market, then volatility is a good thing.

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?

The volatility is always have a positive and negative side because just like any thing in the world it needs to be balance that is why it is like that. The negative side of it is they are falling because they are unstable. So if ever that youbare buying a bitcoins today it might fall and lose its value then you will lose your money. So if i we're you i will buy bitcoins in a much lower proce because it is much lesser to fall rather than to rise. The good thing is they are great in invreasing your money.

Big volatility always is very good for professional traders because only with high volatility they could earn money if volatility is low you can not make any money or make small ones with high ones peopel making so nice and big money on that market.

[Watashi Yamashita]

Bitcoin's volatility is not totally a bad thing but of course, it has down and up sides. The down side of bitcoin is that, it can drop within a short period of time because of its unstability, however, it is favorable especially when it comes to investing. Investors buy with a low price then sell with a towering price, which is the main reason why we invest. So I think it is not bad at all, it just needs to be balanced just like any other things in the world.

As illustrated, Steam tries to avoid the danger that might be inherent in this Volatility. But Volatility to me isn't a bad one at all. Everything in life has its origination that keeps them going. Volatility is part of Cryptos origination that everyone in this deals must be ready to consider if he must to go along and be prominent over it. However, volatility paves way into when and where to invest or trade in Cryptos as well as when to either cash out or retain any Holds.

[reverseflash]

On the one hand big volatility - it is good for traders, an opportunity to earn much and quickly (though it is also possible to lose). For holders - it is bad, they want to be sure that their savings grow in the price.
