Is bitcoin volatility here to stay?

[FLoving]

bitcoin volatility will decrease when it reaches the max supply and it is still very long.
at least from the annual chart that we see even though the value is very unstable, but shows a significant increase.
yes even though the chart dropped dramatically after a severe dump in early 2018 but bitcoin is starting to show an increase again.

No the volatility do not decrease with a maximum supply because it has nothing to do with the volatility but the main thing which will affect the volatility will be the mass adoption. When majority of people will buy bitcoin and they will not sell their coins then the price of it will continuously increase and will reach to a higher value and a stage will come when bitcoin will reach to a good stability but the fluctuation will still be there in the price of bitcoin.

Despite the predictions that cryptocurrency markets will settle as they develop, particularly as supposed stablecoins develop in prominence and impact. Consider the possibility that, in any case, the entirety of the instability isn't a bug. It's altogether conceivable that it's a market include that is not leaving at any point in the near future.

These predictions have been proved wrong time and again

In fact, people were making such claims as back as 2015 (and probably even earlier). They claimed that Bitcoin (let's talk about it here) was going to be more stable at higher prices. But it is impossible for a speculative asset to remain stable for any longer amount of time, and still less so at higher prices. And the reasoning can be easily reversed. If we want a more stable Bitcoin, we should make it less speculative (which is a daunting task on its own, though). Dogecoin is an illustrative example of how things should be with Bitcoin in this regard

Volatility is always part of the bitcoin. It is caused by the consumers demand to a certain exchange. It the consumers demand is higher than the supply in the exchange, the value of the bitcoin will for surely gonna rise up. We will never know when the price of it rises up or down but we can actually try to conclude its next price so that we will be able to gain a advantage for our next trading.

You don't call them consumer because when they buy bitcoin that will still remain in circulation, it will not be loss like those that are consumable.
Basically when the demand will only increase for investment this is not a good thing as the price could not be stable since it could be due to the hype of the market, like for example, when the market is bullish that means people are buying hoping they can sell in a short term for a profit.

What I really like to witness is the consistent growth and the demand for the purpose of using it, whether it's use in gambling, buying online stuff, and other purposes.

A decentralized cryptocurrency cannot be price stable by nature. This is especially true of bitcoin, which is more used by people as a speculative means than a means of payment. In addition, in my opinion, the higher the price of Bitcoin rises, the more its price volatility will manifest itself.

When majority of people will buy bitcoin and they will not sell their coins then the price of it will continuously increase and will reach to a higher value and a stage will come when bitcoin will reach to a good stability but the fluctuation will still be there in the price of bitcoin.

That will affect the price but not always positively.

At the start of that phase, the price will increase, since there are a lot of holders of Bitcoin. The liquidity will now be the problem since Bitcoin will became illiquid meaning hard to be sold or turned into cash or other cryptocurrencies and that will or can change the projectile of the price chart.

I don't see that scenario will happen, people may hold and when the demand increases the price will rise but people who buy can still buy bitcoin but of course at a higher value, however if these people are not mainly into investing, price won't matter at all as they will just spend that bitcoin for whatever purpose they have in mind.

I am very sorry to say that your wish for bitcoin volatility here to stay will not occur in 2020. Because from the beginning of 2020
alone until now the price of bitcoin is very volatile, the price increase is very fast. Imagine that at the beginning of January 2020
bitcoin is still at $ 7200, but you can see that bitcoin is now at $ 10400. The price is very volatile, but I, as a bitcoin holder, really
like bitcoin that keeps moving up like this.

I think buying bitcoin is very good but it should buy bitcoin for a long-term investment because you should be able to see the limited suppl will make the price of bitcoin more expensive from year to year, now there are also many platforms that develop blockchain technology so there will be more cryptocurrency created and can make the price expensive so the investment you make can provide a lot of profit.

Your reasoning is correct, but your conclusions still somewhat miss the target

More holders of Bitcoin will lead to less market supply (in this you are quite correct), and it is indeed going to affect "the projectile of the price chart" (correct as well). Price will most certainly skyrocket initially. But since there will be less bitcoins available for purchase as well as sale, it will necessarily lead to higher levels of volatility. In the end, there will be some sort of shaky equilibrium, though not in the sense of supply-and-demand balance but rather between expanding volatility and declining liquidity. In a way, it can be considered an effect of the second order (with the balance of supply and demand being of the first)

I am not sure if you understand what volatility is, yes the price of btc has increased significantly from $7200 to $10,200 now, but let me show you the chart below, and according to the change we see a pump and dump movement and that is what we called volatility, in fact it's still a high volatility.

[Subbir]

I don't think Bitcoin's existence goes to hamper because it still takes goodbye  However  I think that the volatility of Bitcoin will increase  Bitcoin prices have risen tons since before and there's potential to rise further. That's why we should always be holding Bitcoin now. Each item takes time to grow and reduce  Now Bitcoin's status won't diminish but will increase.

yes even though the chart dropped dramatically after a severe dump in early 2018 but bitcoin is starting to show an increase again.

But the thing is, we can't just buy bitcoin bumy ourselves. It's too expensive even to just buy one. I mean, who has 8000-9000 dollars to spend over cryptocurrency. If we want to exhaust the full available supply in the market, we would need to recommend and advertise bitcoin. Or we can just wait until the developers that take care of bitcoin finally build a program that allows it to become a currency, not just some form of asset. That will significantly decrease the volatility of bitcoin's price. But would also diminish bitcoin's profitability as an asset. It might even dump on value once this happens, so there's some high risks that are involved which the investors' side of the road might disagree.

That simple graph pretty explains how volatile bitcoin is.
We can also check the opening and closing price using the same website - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/historical-data/

there you can see that even with 1% - 2% of changes within 24 hours, day traders can already make money and that is the volatility we are talking.

~~ Volatility gives us more and more chances to have profit as I take it as an advantage to have low price coins and make them high by waiting in red market days. ~~

Yes, it provides the opportunity to gain big profits but we don't forget that it also has a risk to lose in a big amount as well. Even if it is a good place for investment, always plan everything properly. I mean a crypto investor should have sufficient knowledge related to crypto market and price trends, not greedy to spend all your funds, and don't follow HYPE.

>Consider both positive and negative sides, so you are ready in every condition. 

Exactly, especially in the negative condition as that is likely what some of the investors missed out and they'll try to complain after they proven their decision is wrong. Basic rules in trading, buy the dip and sell at peak, and don't fall for the FUD and FOMO.

[Zemomtum]

volatility is still present as the market is still young. When the adoption is really manifested, we might have a different scenario.  Few people hold a large chunk of BTC and the result is what we are getting now. Better days still lie ahead when the market stabilizes and the adoption increases.

[josephsonand]

I think that volatility may increase along with an increase in the price of bitcoin.
And I also believe in hodl. Personally, I'm still at a loss, but I still believe that I'm on the right side.

[bitbunnny]

Recent price movements once more prove exactly that, volatility is always present and can't be avoided. It's part of Bitcoin "code" and how it's functioning. So, Bitcoin price can't be stable.
If there wasn't volatility how could traders earn their profit? Exactly the volatility of price is source of their income and therefore volatility isn't necessary a bad thing.
