There has to be stability in order for bitcoin or any other coin to be officially become a virtual currency.The general public’s faith and adoption will bring true market stabilization. And maybe perhaps some level of regulation will help too.

This volatility is not problematic for the merchant but it is very profitable for those who trade and invest in a very short period. The traders can generate huge profits; far more than investors who have a buy-and-hold strategy
Yes, its a problem for short term investor, because the will just earn minimal profit, unlike for long term investor because they will earn big profit. In overall, volatility of bitcoin is not a problem, because bitcoin created that way, all we can do is to accept its characteristics. As what i see, we only criticize its volatility when the price is decreasing but when the price is increasing we are being thankful for its volatility. short term and long term is ok, its just depends on how you will handle your investments.

Good comment right there mate. With regards to volatility which is not really much of an issue especially when it is rising up but I see it as an issue because not much of any leading business organizations will accept a very volatile currency. But this should be settled once a good number of people will start believing on its technology that its market will become wider and volatility will be lessened.

bitcoin's volatility IS an issue but it is not that big. the media and the FUDsters love to make bigger. the fact is when bitcoin is so volatile that price can move up to 20% in one day it makes it harder to either invest or use as a currency. it doesn't mean people can't or won't use it. they are still investing in bitcoin and also using it as a currency even though it is volatile.
the difference is if it stops being that volatile, it will be used more as both a currency and an investment.

All forms of market are all volatile. It really depends on its user. It seems that if we say that a thing is volatile, you can come up with a conclusion of its users are unstable too. And that is what is going on to bitcoin. The reasom why it is changing is because of the way the investors think. Thy pull out thy so sudden they started investing again. But as we all know, if th market is down, all we can do is to wait and wait for the market push upward again.

Bitcoin is definitely the most liquid coin in the crypto market as many other coin pairs has seen larger swings. Volatility increases when the panic in market starts and sell order rate of the crypto coin increases. Bitcoin is expected to perform better in the coming days and it has been predicted that the same can reach new heights.

I think that's not a big deal for Bitcoin investors or cryptography. Because many people have different types of volatile investment. People use the currency as being isolated because of the problem with worrying people. Although its price changes, traders will not be completely dependent on it.

Cryptocurrency market is known to be very volatile. The coins are considered complex and the investors needs to be aware of the diverse risks in regards to trading it. This is because there is no regulatory body to protect investors in this type of market, and the governments won't stabilize it like the Eur/USD for example .

We have a video from our previous crypto trading Conference explaining how the cryptocurrency market can be volatile https://dmfx-financials.com/blog/2016/05/12/volatile-cryptocurrency-market/
who said that the currency pairs are very stable, there are simply large volumes and therefore the spread is minimal. if bitcoin was traded in such volumes daily, there would be no such great volatility.

No, I don'tdon't think so that bitcoin volatility is not an issue because there are still people or users who have been panicking when the price of bitcoin was getting low, they don't even think wether they sell or hold it. I think that this is happening because of lack of knowledge about bitcoin and what is the characteristic of it.

People have problems with volatility because bitcoin is meant to be used as a currency and if its value continues to change then the merchant can not rely on it as a payment method. Accepted. The media and the Fudsters like to do bigger. It does not mean that people can not or will not use it. The difference is that if it stops being volatile, it will be more used as both currency and investment.

So far, due to the large fluctuations of electronic money, and mostly bitcoin, states are very important and this is one of the reasons for their legalization is quite weak and slow. If bitcoin will be very costly Poor, drastically reduced with normal fluctuations, if it coincides with negative information, which can lead to panic that will act as a domino effect and bitcoin may lose value in a day or two. My opinion is that if bitcoin is not so volatile it will not suit the trader. And if bitcoin is not too volatile then there may be market acceptance for it to be used as a currency.

While I concur with you that volatility ought not impact the store of significant worth, I would differ with you that it impacts the shippers, when they acknowledge Bitcoin straightforwardly. A few people counterbalance this disservice by utilizing installment processors for any installments that are gotten, however this isn't the ideal arrangement. The most ideal approach to stay away from volatility is for you to change procedure.

True that volatility is not a problem for us. As a traders, volatility is an important element in trading to make profits.
Because of volatility, cryptocurrency is opening the opportunity to buying low and selling high if you patience enough.

Inevitable volatility during growth
Bitcoin is a relatively new asset class. Although the level of awareness of Bitcoin among the general population has increased, only a small proportion of them have a significant amount of Bitcoins.

In addition, institutional investors have largely avoided Bitcoin given its unregulated nature and the risks associated with it.

As Bitcoin's adoption increases and demand increases, its price can rise rapidly.

Likewise, when there is negative news about Bitcoin, such as the Chinese closing the crypto currency currencies, some of Bitcoin's holders will sell and their price may break quickly.

Until the ownership of Bitcoin becomes widely distributed and liquidity improves substantially, we will see a significant volatility in the price of Bitcoin.

It is a very big issue alright. Bitcoin is meant to be a base currency where virtually all other cryptocurrencies trade against. If its volatility begins to affect the coin movement of the community of altcoins, then it should be seen as a very serious issue that will hamper the growth of other coins
You are right . how can it not be an issue? if this is not taken seriously like you mentioned other coins could have problems, not to mention other dilemmas that will arise

I think this is still an issue if we are looking at it as a currency since it need stability for that. but sure as an investment it's normal since all investments are volatile

bitcoin's volatility deters stable funds that operate with low volatility from it. bitcoin is still working as a risky asset.

 I believe that trading costs are a significant driver of volatility due their constraining effect on liquidity. Due to the model of most exchanges requiring up to a .25% commission on trades, it is simply too expensive to trade bitcoins frequently. This constrains liquidity because most bitcoiners buy and hold on for dear life. This makes the price sensitive to short term surges in demand because holders are reluctant to part with their bitcoins unless there is a sufficiently large profit to be made. Similarly most experienced bitcoiners only go in to buy when there’s been a sizable dip for similar reasons.
 Exchanges need to change up their models to a simple bid-ask spread to attract some market makers and liquidity providers. Despite being a technological innovation, bitcoin’s trading ecosystem is remarkably primitive.

 Bitcoin’s surface of volatility (i.e. the swing in value from top to bottom) is very high because at the moment liquidity is still low and relatively few coordinated movements of the market (buy/sell actions of just a few thousands users) have the ability to greatly impact the price of the currency. This kind of volatility is much smaller the more liquid a market is.
 With the increase in user wallets and user adoption we can assume that the market will become more liquid and it will be more difficult to impact Bitcoin’s price as dramatically as we have witnessed in the past.

It's not certain Bitcoin will become a legitimate currency because Bitcoin has a very unstable nature in the market so this will make the congenital in exchange.
