Will cryptos be so volatile forever?

When will we reach the state of more of less stable cryptocurrencies or it is in their nature and will never end?

The prices will get more stable when the prices are really expensive...so expensive that it would take a lot of money to get rid of a 1 BTC wall.

Because of the decentralized nature of the majority of cryptocurrency out there, the volatility will always be in the hands of the user. Early adopters and whales are able to control most markets by posting buy and sell walls and flood or strip the market with coins/fiat...

The only way to stabilize the value of any kind of crypto is to offer centralized solutions, which can easily be perceived as defeating the purpose of cryptocurrency, but honestly, that's the direction that I see digital currency turning to. As more and more larger companies adapt to digital currency, they'll undoubtedly focus on creating a currency that will only slightly fluctuate in value, but as it currently stands now, as long as their are open exchanges for converting a certain crypto to fiat and other crypto currencies, the volatility will always trail closely behind.

Doubtful. We saw what happened last week, as the prices stayed above $15,000. I don't know about you, but that's a lot more expensive than it was just a few short months ago at under $10,000, and MUCH more expensive than last year's (2016) closing prices of under $1,000 per. The value of Bitcoin won't stabilize the volatility as long as there is a demand for it.

For me in the future it can happen because think if the price is so high that's not good in transaction so i think it can be stable or the price stay like $30 to $40 high then low only in $15 so that's good in traders,users and the transaction because it's run by investing and in transaction but still it's give so much conveniece now i think also we already experience the future of btc.

I think that approximately 3-4 years will be needed in order to regulate the status of the crypto-currency in the world economy and to introduce them into the lives of ordinary consumers. The more goods and services you can buy for crypto-coins, the more coins will have real supports. And the more well-known, the goods and services will be in demand, the stronger will be the support. The same applies to the system of use. If there are large and reliable systems for exchange, input-output, then the crypto-currencies have a chance to quickly penetrate into the life of an ordinary person and secure stability.

In my opinion, crypto currencies will be forever volatile since its decentralized. Any news, positive or negative will have a huge impact to its price every time. I think the only way for its price to become stable is if it reaches a certain value you can never imagine to have.

Still boils down to supply and demand, correct me if I'm wrong. So I really doubt that we can see crypto being less stable. Its their nature, In bitcoin's case, when there's a huge demand the price will swing wildly. Some says it really bad for the market to be volatile, and this is the one reason why government are against crypto, and volatility makes it hard for bitcoin to be universally accepted as mode of payment.

So its really up to us on how we see this price instability. Are you going to take advantage of it to make more money, or would you rather have a stable price but less demand?

[Crasengover]

I think it's a nature of cryptocurrency to be volative, otherwise they won't attract so much attention to the market. Of course, a good coin for daily trading shouldn't be so volative as it's now, so most likely will see some new coins like Tether in the nearest future.

[European Central Bank]

volatility will never be tamed. there are a few factors that make it extra volatile - 24/7 trading worldwide, twitchy and inexperienced traders, a lot of general legal uncertainty.

the latter should be ironed out. i don't think the first two ever will. i expected it to much less volatile at this price level but it seems kinda the same as it always was.

Crypto currency market is an unregulated market. So it is an inherent nature of any unregulated market. If a currency is centralised by any government, they use many techniques to prevent any unaccounted fall or rise of that currency. For example, if Indian rupee value starts decreasing rapidly, Indian central bank will start buying their own currency in large volume against dollar to stop that fall and to stabilise the price. That is not the case for the crypto market.

Crypto market is the raw reflection of the market sentiment and the absence of regulators makes it more volatile. So I believe it will remain same forever.

For me it's the other way around, during 2016 the price wasn't that volatile compared to last year where the price really went on a huge up and down movement. How much do you think the price of bitcoin should be at to become stable?

Volatility on crypto won't end because the prices of most crypto are converted to the price of bitcoin and there are people who would suddenly pump/dump a random altcoin like bch.

Volatility is made up of two composite parts, supply and demand, for most cryptos supply is relatively stable so the volatility is driven by demand, the demand in time will become more stable one way or another, it will either reach close to its upper limit and hover around there or the same but with its lower limit.

[MI6]

if its not volatile it means there are someone or something who control it. and it is not a nature of cryptos. in market if not up and down it will not have any value in future.

Well, Being volatile has being produced but, It is because of the two characteristics: The supply and demand. If the supply increases, the price will decrease. And if the supply decreases, The price will increase. If the demand is increasing, Well, The price will getting increase also, and of the demand is decreasing, The price will decrease.

Hence, Volatility will never be prevented.

[CryptoBitCoins]

If the question is about the amount of crypto currency, then it will continue to grow all the time. I think that it is impossible to stop this process. The process of stabilization of the crypto currency will be very long, because now the crypto currency is very dependent on the number of consumers, therefore, I think that we will not see stability in this sector for a long time.

[dothebeats]

As long as cryptos are being regarded as speculative assets, my guess is that it will still remain as volatile as it is today. People will keep on trading them to each other knowing that everyone else is also doing the same, trying to juice them out of their money for profits. Also, I don't see any crypto replacing traditional fiat for payments and whatnot, given that there are no central authorities controlling the supply of the money and they can't wholly regulate it without having to make some compromises.

[darkfox12]

I believe eventually in the next few years more coins will "mature" and their individual volatility will slow down.  Overall you'll not have a "mature" market like the Stock Market in cryptocurrency for a long time.

Yes it will and last forever,  because in the market there are no fixed price. This is the factor of supply vs demand, so the volatility is non stop because of so many possible reasons, whales can control/swallow all small investors, by this volatile exist,  FUD, fakes news that against in bitcoin can also be a reasons why volatile exist. The main stream is theres a competition among all crypto currency and they want to take down the very big one.

Crypto currencies are decentralized, no one can control them, so the prices are volatiles as well. Volatility is a good feature of crypto currencies because it motivate so many people to trade this coins and hold them. If the price become stable in any level, it will discourage so many people to investing in crypto.

[ZainSpider]

Yes as long as they wont going to accept by governments they will stay volatile like today.
