Is Bitcoin Volatility A Bad Thing?

[sharnel18]

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?

 

Volatility is a part of bitcoin with its negative and positive aspect so its not bad at all because we never know when the price is rapidly on its fall,the price itself its not stable sometimes theres a good things come up for trading and investments.

I think not, the decline of bitcoin is an opportunity for us to buy it. so it's not a bad thing, because there's still a chance.

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.

that's good news, every big country should be able to legalize bitcoin for the country's economic development. because progress can not be denied, it will always move and move.

I don't think that bitcoin volatility is a bad thing because, some participants in the market can't stomach such moves and as a result you see these bigger companies trying to appease the small guy. With high volatility comes great risk but also comes great rewards. That is why some players like this and some participants don't like this. Hence also why I think less big sharks got into Bitcoin at the beginning because of this. Wait until the futures market comes out in a week a lot more sharks are going to jump on board and it isn't because Bitcoin wasn't always a good asset it is because they can now have multiple ways to play the market which is what the big guys like.

All serious minded Bitcoinners depends fully and wholeheartedly on Volatility worn by Cryptocurrencies generally to operate. It is the actual determinant of values that even new investors look up to before they can tender their money to invest. Hence, volatility makes good sense in this facet of business. Antagonizing Volatility is like having no idea of what Cryptocurrency is all about.

[Tiktik]

it is not a bad thing for me because it is really normal to a one business that sometime it become low or bad days but for bitcoin i think bitcoin is just making something to make it grow better. we don't need to worry about it. price volatility it is a rate at which the price of a security increases or decreases for a given set of returns. Volatility is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time. in other words it is just a calculation about the increasing or decreasing of the pric of bitcoin..

[putriliesma]

It depends on the certain person. If you will ask it on a trader, the volatility of the bitcoin will be good for them because more volatile equals more profit. Even you ask it into the holders, maybe some of them will say that volatility is a good thing for them. I don't see volatility a bad thing for me.

Well, first off, it took Amazon years to get there, you can't really call that volatility., it's more like an organic growth. Moreover, Amazon shares are registered security bitcoin isn't.

[Kokoy]

Well volatility is one of the characteristic of bitcoin, you cannot say that it is a bad thing you can have a great from it, you just need to use its volatility to benefits a lot from it and have a really great profit, just always be careful to make the right decisions.

I agree with that and I think volatilty feature of this platform has a huge impact to this currency, main factor why Bitcoin is very popular by now, without it this may not be known and popular thses days which made people very interested with this and I am very lucky to be one of the peoplw who recognize this currency as early as now, cause I have a chance to work here and gain profit

[Pelevelyl]

Depends on what purpose. If for speculation, it is good if for long-term investment, it is not very good when the price changes by 10% per day.

[ausbit]

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.

Everything has the pros and cons, even the most successful man is going to have some shortcomings and same is the case of bitcoin. It has as I always say that something for everyone but in order to serve everyone, one thing which is good for one group of investors might not suit other group much. Volatile nature is good for holders as well because after dumps, the increase in values is damn high which is not possible otherwise.

I don't think it will have a direct impact to the users in a negative manner but can be able to attract more investors.

[feverpitch]

I agree, it is not bad that bitcoin changes in price. As it was said, there are bad and good sides. On the dark side, if bitcoin value drops quickly and inevitably, there is little and sometimes nothing you can do to minimize your loss. But on the contrary, if value shows rapid and constant growth, you have a sure chance to get significant benefits. So it is a twofold process, but not bad at all.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing, Those who complain of bitcoin volatility should try Forex Trading and see how their blood pressure works. For me, the bitcoin volatility is the main attraction. That's what entices buyers and sellers into either profit or loss.As for the third party exchange sites, they should know how to maneuver the volatility to make their profit. Steam should learn from Shapeshift and Changelly how they cope.

Instability doesn't touch the dealers since there are such payment platforms as BitPay which take lower commissions for bitcoin transactions in comparison to usual credit cards or other payment methods.

we can use the bitcoin volatility to get a lot of profit, that if we become a trader, but this will be more difficult if for currency units, with high volatility price would be difficult to give price something

The price of BTC fluctuates according to the market reaction.

If the price of BTC remains unchanged, the market supply and demand balance of digital cryptographic currency will not be favorable to the whole market. The market needs more investors to join in and push up the price!

[Brunusmagnus]

Since the bitcoin skips a good 10% up or down every day, it seems to me that - for experienced traders - this is a real paradise.

[AndrewBrown]

Not at all. Bitcoin volatility is what gives us the opportunity to make as much money as possible as investors. When prices are low we can buy and wait for the price to go back up and then sell and make profit.

Nope, do not see things in negative always in positive. Yes we may experience to drop its own value but I see this as an opportunity to buy bitcoin and be a successful bitcoiner. When the btc value turns red then it is the best time to buy while when btc turns to green then it is the best time to hold and wait for a larger value of btc.
