Bitcoin's volatility is a non-issue

[zuninholo]

In this market volatility is trivial,
It can rise and fall day by day, so that's not our problem

[Abigail Asi]

Volatility in bitcoin is normal. Once a while, the price rises and drops day by day but I think That's not an issue though.

[Uberse]

I really love your arguments and often agree with them. I agree that high volatility in itself is not a problem. However, you lack one important component -transaction fees

They are dropping (for the moment anyway) and probably will fall further once the Lightning Network is up and running. But remember in a rising market retailers will hold their bitcoins anyway. Those who can afford to will hodl in a falling market and those who cannot afford to will not accept bitcoins in the first place. Still, there will be merchants who will indeed incur fees as they panic and convert to fiat. In effect they will be day-trading.

Fluctuations are not a big problem because other types of investments are also common. However, because btc volatility makes it impossible for investors to treat it as a form of payment, it becomes more difficult for them.

Bitcoin is too volatile and this will continue to scare new investors especially those with poor trading skill. Most time exchanges and devs are responsible for this act

[nagobinga]

bitcoin has become famous all over the world we do not need kwatir anymore and it is safe to play and whether this can be a very long time.

Volatility is because Bitcoin is treated as an investment product, but Bitcoin appears to represent money itself, so we should not consider the volatility of Bitcoin, but consider its actual value.

This is true, bitcoin is very volatile just like other currencies such as fiat. But, wether we like it or not bitcoin will always be volatile no matter what happens as it relies to people doing effort to keep it in that state, unlike physical money where there are leaders across the nations where they set the currency according to its economy, does bitcoin has its economy?

The volatility is actually an issue which is stopping some investors from putting their money into it because they fear the loss since they can't predict if price will drop or increase..

[efxtrader]

Volatility in bitcoin price is just for short time. I think the real issue in cryptocurrency is government regulation. Its affecting on investor because if cryptocurrrency market have regulation from government, they will more confident to investing more money in market.
Beside that, news about regulation affecting on price fluctuation.

[popelene1]

Its not issues but its also making people not to have confidence in investing on it, Anyone that check the ATH of bitcoin last December and compared to the current price will be afraid to invest her money..

[Kayuslawal]

Bitcoin volatility is causing problems to bitcoin, we dont want to loose thinking the price used to change every minute ,with this some people just wont trust it so they wont loose their money invested

[erundook]

It looks like the list of evidences about bitcoins trustworthiness, but thank you anyway because in this hardship times we need some encouragement and to get some more assurance in the things that we do.

[money_amount]

If you have a lot of knowledge about investing, I think it's not a problem. Traders in the day they are not afraid of the market down. They have a lot of knowledge to invest in this market.

Yes of course,volatility of Bitcoin is normal and still it an issue because this is what the investors depends on.From this we can see how the demands rise and fall.

Volatility isnt a issue when it comes to bitcoin/crypto investors because there are many other types of volatile investments too.  People take issue with volatility because bitcoin is mean to be used as a currency and if its value keeps changing then merchants cant rely on it as an accepted payment method.

Would you mind mate letting me know whats those many types of volatile investing?sorry to ask but i just want you to enlighten me regarding this because my knowledge is limited towards this thanks for the response

And regarding to OPs point well i think volatility of  bitcoin wont bring this down instead this is the reason why will we become richer soon,thats the price of this that increases because of volatility

[Jamescur]

The volatility of BTC indicates the potential value of BTC! People with valuable things are willing to invest!
High volatility implies an opportunity for high returns. Bitcoin has given excellent returns

[centive]

Volatility and Liquidity are inter-related. Prices become volatile when there's no liquidity. So, volatility - depending on how you see it is an opportunity (for traders), and risk (for institutional investors).

Whence liquidity is improved, this will ideally reduce volatility, and encourage both side (traders + institutions) to trade bitcoin or invest.

Volatility in bitcoin price is just for short time. I think the real issue in cryptocurrency is government regulation. Its affecting on investor because if cryptocurrrency market have regulation from government, they will more confident to investing more money in market.
Beside that, news about regulation affecting on price fluctuation.

So for you the volatility of bitcoin price is depend on regulation of government? it's just part of the cause of volatile bitcoin prices. There are still many reasons why bitcoin prices are always on the move, for instance, day trading will always provide a rapid price change effect of a trader's focus not only on information but technical analysts can be part of their strategy.

No business would like to deal in such a currency. It makes it a failure as a payment system thus limiting its growth.
