Why Bitcoin Is So Volatile

[Rhaiyah]

Honestly, I don't know what is the exactly reason on why bitcoin is volatile. The volatility of Bitcoin for me it's a normal and this I know on why, it's because of supply and demand.

It is a new thing introduced to market. It is not regulated. There are many weak spots like high transaction fee. Huge companies/Investors do not trust bitcoin.

Bitcoin fluctuates so much, because it is a constantly growing market. As the market will gain a solid foundation, the price will certainly be more stable. Attempts to regulate by governments and banks also have an impact on price fluctuations.

I don't buy that argument that Bitcoin is volatile because it has no intrinsic value to be backed upon. Nothing is backed by anything substantive! Fiat is backed by the monopoly power of the state, gold is backed by the social capital given to it. If Bitcoin's lack of physical asset backing was a problem, all currencies would be volatile.

Bitcoins volatility is not new in financial history. Earlier forms of currency like tobacco used in the early American colonies were much more volatile. Bitcoin's instability is just a demonstration of the market. Hype led to speculators buying up the supply, and scares by regulators and panic sellers caused price drops.

There is nothing intrinsic in Bitcoin, besides maybe slow and expensive transactions coming to the fore, that makes it volatile. It is a commodity, and like any commodity, is a slave to market forces - let it be euphoria or panic.

Merited and agree all the way.  
He proves he is the one which is detailed in his personal message.

I love the way it was said. It is like everything now is backed by something and only bitcoin is the one who changed it all.
Commodity/currency for me. Since the start that had been the look of bitcoin in my eyes.
It will always depend on the demand. It is the only answer that should be said.

Yeah, I will understand people being worried that bitcoin was not backed by anything if this was a new concept never implemented before, but fiat is backed by nothing as well, the only thing that maintains fiat in its place is the trust of the people and when that is lost, and that happens 100% of the time, the fiat goes to zero, so the only new thing bitcoin introduced was in fact a trustless coin.

Bitcoin is so volatile because it has many investors who are investing on it. It is also the most-known by everyone compared to the other coins. Bitcoin became popular because it has already produced many rich people.

[samcrypto]

Its highly volatile due to its decentralized nature.

Bitcoin as well as the cryptocurrencies market are not supported by any individual or organization and are operated by the market supply and demand for cryptocurrencies. So the impact of news from the press is inevitable, and it makes the exchange rate of Bitcoin fluctuate continuously, rarely at a stable level.

[Nunoluck]

Its highly volatile due to its decentralized nature.

Yes, since many traders are tade it everyday. And unfortunatelly most of us are trader and no geverntments that can control the price. Government can control fiat price by issue some policy because it is centralized. Bitcoin price will more stable if it mostly used in online shop than exchange sites.

[Angi]

Its happens that bitcoin volatile every day, months or year because many people are using it they invest or sell if someone invest bitcoin in huge amount like the big investors the bitcoin will rise and those investors sell there bitcoin in the highest price the bitcoin will fall down if someone sell it with huge price bitcoin will drop down 2x so we expect that bitcoin will not longer or stay stable in that amount thats why bitcoin will volatile every single time. Thats my opinion either.

[RudeeTam]

Bitcoin is volatile because of the law of supply and demand. Plain and simple. It depends on people's interest in it which is driven by it's popularity and news if it will go down or up.

Bitcoin is really volatile it is normal that it will change the value. Like its about the demand and the supply.The more people are been interested and buying the more chance to get high the demand .It really shows that its about how people who priorized the product.

   I did not like article. He is wrote about Bitcoin bubbles before. In article he continued to talk
about bubbles in alt-coin world.
   Later he stated that Bitcoin has no fundamentals, and will never have fundamentals. That is not
true, I found little line from:
https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-traders-know-fundamental-analysis/
-Fundamental analysis is the evaluation of economic, financial and other key variables, known as fundamentals,
to determine a security's true value. This differs from technical analysis (the counterpart to fundamental analysis)
in that the former is more interested in looking at a security's price movements to make better-informed decisions.
   Even more statements about Bitcoin bubble:
-Even as the Bubble deflates, there seems to be quite a bit of bull trapping going on, by key low-volume trades being
made which seem to indicate a price-reversal upwards, and then selling to these fooled investors at the higher price.
   It is not nice that he calls me a fool, I am an investor.

While reading a novel can you ask why this story line is going in such a manner, it is all about the writers fantasy. Same is with volatility of bitcoin. It is purely based on the initial development, we cannot comply this. We can experience the goodness or else can just leave. People who know good about volatility will praise it, others indicate it as an negative part of bitcoin.

Yes, bitcoin volatility is truly depends on how people manage their bitcoin by means of selling and buying. The law of supply and demand can be truly applied for this  that the more the supply of the certain product then the lesser its value and if its more demand than the supply then that thing will increase its value, so obviously bitcoin value fluctuation is likely cause by the crypto user of bitcoin.

bitcoin is unstable because there is no regulator as soon as it appears and these movements have already begun we will see some stability , but my opinion this will not happen soon

[Janodevera]

It is worth noting that these losses and the ensuing news about the losses had a double effect on volatility. They reduced the overall float of Bitcoin by approximately, producing a potential lift on the value of the remaining Bitcoin due to increased scarcity.  However, overriding this lift was negative effect of the news cycle that followed. Notably, other Bitcoin gateways looked to the massive failure as a positive for the long term prospects of Bitcoin, further complicating the already complex story behind the currency’s volatility. As early adopting firms are eliminated from the market due to poor management and dysfunctional processes, later entrants learn from their errors and build stronger processes into their own operations, strengthening the infrastructure of the currency overall.

Definitely bitcoin is so unstable ever since it is well known. People come and invest in bitcoin because they are more attracted on how bitcoin can be fluctuates. The reasons why it is volatile because of the demand were users can buy an sell btc.

we should prepare for the next bitcoin price fluctuations that will come up any moment from next month and thinks are going to get better next month.  In February last year bitcoin has the high dip and in February this year we are having another dip again but Last should be a pattern we should used to know what is going to happen this year.

Bitcoin is not so stable for one reason only, since it is a tool for trading on the stock exchange, so do not keep in the portfolio not only bitcoins, since in the days of drawdowns certainly not worth selling it

[StarofBTC]

This is a perceptions bitcoin will not collapse completely.  Bitcoin  invested have hope that the value of Bitcoin will increase in the future based on demand.

It’s making no sense, the guy is just repeating the same thing that has been said before by many. This is an old stuff and I’m not going to spend my time reading a post from someone who is just killing himself and calling Bitcoin a scam just to get something he would write about before he gets fired.Yes, we know that Bitcoin fell from $19000 down to $6000 and has been oscillating somewhere between $6000 and $9000, but have we forgotten that Bitcoin was once sold or $0.07? Then why are we all complaining? Bitcoin is volatile and we all know that, VOLATILITY doesn’t mean that the price for stuck will continue to go only up, sometimes it has to go down, that’s a normal thing in every market.
