Bitcoin's High Volatility

[AK47-]

The truth about bitcoin's volatility is that it stops the mainstream public to have faith in bitcoin. And that is because is a very new currency. It came into existence in 2009. Which is basically yesterday compared to fiat currencies, which have been around since centuries. Looking at some assets like gold or silver, they have been around since forever. The older any asset/currency is more stable it is because it has survived more financial travesties and in turn gained public faith. So for bitcoin to become more stable regulation and sustained public interest for a long period of time is imperative.

I think Bitcoin is a high level of coins. Bitcoin is in demand in the market. Bitcoin is more demanding when it is high. Bitcoin is worth the price. Bitcoin is called golden money. People can improve through betting. People's life gets glowing through betting. Bitcoin is earning money.

I don't think that is a true statement to tell that people's life are improving because of the betting because what do you mean by betting? Because it is more into being a gambling but for me, the people's life are improving because of their hard work and patience in doing things that they can make money like their jobs in crypto.

Bitcoin used to be defined as a store of value, HODL (buy and hold long term) investment.

With the introduction of futures markets, the rise of bitcoin cash and altcoin forks and platforms like coinbase engaging in insider trading by profiting off of their knowledge that they would introduce trading for fork coins beforehand... Bitcoin is slowly but surely becoming more an instrument of speculation than a store of long term value.

That fundamental shift is indicated by rising volatility and greater price swings.

Many trading exchanges are offering trades with no commissions. That also contributes towards higher volatility. The lack of a hard capital gains tax, which promotes HODL and cuts down on rampant speculation, also plays a role in volatility being higher than one might expect from say a stock market.

Lol, Bitcoin has never not been a purely speculative instrument. There has been no fundamental shift to this, it started as this, became even more this, and remains this. Bitcoin may go through higher and lower periods of volatility, but it has never had a period of no volatility. It was born in it, and grew to this height specifically because of it. The majority of people buying do so out of insane expectations of getting rich. It's 100% speculative, and always has been.

Good analysis.

If someone is not highly educated then he will be upset in this world and will be lagging behind in this universe of the universe, he will get depressed. But Bitcoin is a trade-off that can make you very short-term and very easily self-reliant. However, it has been an abusive idea.

This claim can be challenged

I'm not an early adopter by any means, but neither are you (just guessing, I don't really know). The Bitcoin annals assert that a couple of years after Bitcoin had been born, it was used in the dark web as a genuine means of payment. It is only since 2011 that crypto started to attract investors and speculators along with the emergence of first exchanges like Btc-e and Mt. Gox. Though I don't really know how much volatility Bitcoin experienced back in the day, before the exchanges era

The volatility is almost directly proportional to the chance of generating income. That is also why the less risky type of investment (e.g. real estate) take a lot longer to generate income compared to bitcoin.

When bitcoin mostly used in online shop instead of exchanges then bitcoin will less volatile. This condition actually is normal conditions, as new currency bitcoin is still in the beginning of acceptance.not many people use this currency for buy goods in real life. Most of bitcoin consider it as asset, most of them are trades it everyday, then make the price move so fast.

Bitcoin's high volatility rate has been due to its high adoption rate and high conversion rates; it having a sharp price decrease and also a sharp price increase - within a short period of time.
