Would you rather see steady growth in Bitcoin or strong upward spikes instead?

[1Referee]

Bitcoin doesn't have the potential to produce income either because it's an unproductive asset. It sits there and either goes up in value or down in value based on what other people are willing to pay for it. Businesses that create value and pay dividends are an income source. Real estate is an income source. The difference between these and Bitcoin are that they are productive assets and pay income without having to dispose of the underlying asset.

Bitcoin will become productive with LN and generate income for you without fundamentally exposing your coins to any sort of risk. I think it will be the first time where you can put your coins to work allowing yourself to earn micro bits without having a different party control them. It will be a major breakthrough because you now have the incentive to actually use your coins in a way that has nothing to do with buy low sell high.

The more liquidity is being added to LN, the more usable it becomes, and the more rewarded liquidity providers will be. It concerns very small rewards per time, and the market effect will likely make sure the fees become extremely low, but if it happens thousands of times per day, it adds up nicely in the end. We're not there yet, but the promise is definitely there.

Steady, solid growth is better because it would cause only few corrections and can recover quickly. Strong upward spikes or price surges may lead to deep correction or crashes. The bullrun in 2017 is a fine example which reached its all-time high of $20k and it goes down to $6400 several months later and still depreciating. With the present state of bitcoin, we might be heading to its all-time low this year.

I would rather prefer steady growth slowly recovering until it reach a high price than going fast upward because you can see how it recovers how it develop and this will attract more investors because they can see it's market going high slowly but surely.

I would rather like to see steady growth in bitcoin, i want its value to grow more getting higher slowly, in time im sure that its existence will be longer. Than in bitcoin upward  then suddenly go down in an instant,  it will have a negative income for those who invested during high price, that is the only i dont want to happen.

I wanted to see steady growth in bitcoin i would be favorable for everyone specially when they have many token instore in their wallet but I would like also to see it spike upwards so that I could have more profit but I know these things will take time before it happen but I am willing to wait to see these both things happen

[BulbaLord]

Steady growth in bitcoin can attract to buy and invest , its pretty good . But i think it will not happen . 😂

[napi]

I believe bitcoin can be very expensive from this price because I see bitcoin has very good potential bitcoin can be expensive because bitcoin has a very limited demand and a very limited supply.

I wanted to see what the general thoughts of the community here are. With bitcoin being in a pretty steady state for the past few weeks, it seems like there's going to be a set up for some kind of growth. With that, there can be many paths, but after seeing today's price (which was up around 5% when I checked), I was wondering if the volatility is what people actually like about bitcoin.

So, do you guys like the volatility and the strong spikes upwards or would you rather like steady growth, around 5% gains over time?

Since I'm a long term holder I will prefer a slow and steady growth but I recognize the fact that it is too soon for that, bitcoin is still too small and there is a huge amount of money always looking for the next big thing, so I expect this behavior of bitcoin growing suddenly is going to continue for a long time until it reaches a huge size and after that we will finally see some steady growth, however as far as I can tell there are many more traders than long term holders and they will probably prefer the market stays as it is.

I believe bitcoin can be very expensive from this price because I see bitcoin has very good potential bitcoin can be expensive because bitcoin has a very limited demand and a very limited supply.

Either both steady growth or strong upward spikes has its advantages and potential where bitcoin is demand. As for bitcoin that has limited supply i think i would rather see steady growth, its the most safer and fair for all of us investors and traders.

I know that most of you will say you need a steady growth… but as for me, I would say I like the way it works now– a little bit of a steady growth and more of an strong upward spikes. It keeps on going up a little and there keeps on being some bubbles along with it. So I prefer it the way its going. Most of us here who depends on HODL makes their profit whenever the price bubbles. Or is being pumped.

[zmkriel]

yes steady growth, keep stable, make people confident to buy and invest in bitcoin. also good for their economic, as we know bitcoin and is second option to transaction around the world, no limit, no need more document and not waste your time.

I guess almost everyone in this forum preferred a steady growth most especially if we are here to invest in long term. Though others would prefer strong spike especially the traders due to their job preferences. But for me as long as market is stable and strong enough to recover after the correction then i will be happy. I am into long term investment so what matters to me is for the crypto to survive in a long run.

I think I will go in for a steady growth of price over  a period time. With that, there will be less panic in the system, governments won't think of making things inconvenient for us and many people would join. But anyways the sharp dips and spikes are also good for day traders.

Yeah you're right, when upward trend happens and make a surprise in the market there will be a lot of people who will do panic selling because want to get profit, because it certainly resulted in the price back down because more supply, this often happens, so I prefer steady growth, no one panics because of this..

Yes, it is a practice for people to always react to upward movements that come in a very maniac way. The thing is they would not be sustainable for long as it is believed to be a manipulated growth and not some growth caused by a pretty good demand and in cases like this, it can be so terrible to see the outcome. Steady growth is a whole lot better and even if it takes a longer period of time, at least, it brings about some level of maturity and sanity in a market.

I prefer a steady growth even if it's just a little but sure. With that I can invest without risk, because with this steady rising price I will definitely get a profit without the risk of a very low price can make me become a rich man. I'm sure investors here really expect the price to go up like that.

Like most of the responses already posted here, I would also rather prefer that Bitcoin achieve steady growth. Nothing ever worth it comes easy anyway. With strong upward spikes of course also comes the corresponding downward spikes and if this is the case, it would be so frustrating and could even be a turn off for the regular trader who will get caught bagholding during the spiking season.

Steady growth is still growth and is a much safer path towards success.

I agree with you, I'll take the steady growth too, because it's the safest, and also you can assure your income daily. Unlike strong upward spikes, there's still volatility there, and it's possible that the downward spikes are strong too. So I'll stick with the safest one, even if it's long it's alright, as long as I can earn a profit.

In what way will LN turn Bitcoin from an unproductive asset to a productive asset. I don't understand what fundamentally will change. It seems you're suggesting that people take a rake of transaction fees for providing liquidity in LN, is that the case? If that were true, I suppose that would technically make a return on holding Bitcoin possible, but if LN is supposed to be so cheap, the return will likely never amount to anything significant as you'll be competing with everyone else offering liquidity in hopes of earning a return as well, and the competition will prevent any type of worthwhile return from emerging.

we do not hesitate in selling or buying this bitcoin and if we will get a loss, we also do not get much loss because I still prefer stable bitcoin growth because with stable growth we are safer in trading

[deloreswest]

I would like to steady ofcourse cause it more healthy for market and make the price to became more solid and market spike only make the market correction happening again and again and make the price stuck at some point.

[Sled]

I would like to see a steady growth rather than a strong price spike in bitcoin because it will not bring any good reflection in bitcoin if it will have a strong price spike because it will just create an image that bitcoin is a bubble and that is not what we want here and we want to show that bitcoin is stable in growing and not like a bubble.

Both of them are good and I would like to be seeing the both of them happen. When the price is going up steady just like it has done for more than a decade now by going from $0 to the current price of $6k – $7k, with an all time high price of $19k, it means that we are progressing and that lots of people are joining the community. As for the upward spike, I would say that is important cause that’s the only way to make money quick through HODLing.
