Is bitcoin volatility here to stay?

[Ozero]

I am a strong believer in HODL. I expected bitcoin volatility decreases as time goes by, I totally didn't expect such big price change in the past several days.

Bitcoin price volatility will not decrease as long as it remains decentralized. Neither its mass acceptance in the world, nor the increase in its price can affect the decrease in its volatility. On the contrary, I believe that with an increase in the price of Bitcoin, its volatility will also increase. The higher its price, the greater will be the range of its rise and fall.
Demand and supply will always be changeable.

The possibility of volatility will remain, even though there is a reduction but it will not make prices more stable for a long time, maybe over time we will get something big changes that will make prices more stable and for now and the next few years I feel volatility it will still happen.

The situation will develop very well for those who have not set a goal to receive the only possible income from the cryptocurrency market.  Such people will always have problems, because Bitcoin will improve its place in the cryptocurrency market for quite a long time.  Those users of cryptocurrency who fully exploit the potential of the cryptocurrency market can survive any market situation.

I agree with you what happened last days was strange and on my opinion it was clear market manipulation. 

You have been here long enough to know that what he have seen in the last couple of days isn't strange at all.

It's definitely not market manipulation, but the aftermath of a brutal rejection from a very important resistance level. You know what's strange? People don't complain about manipulation when the price pumps with $1000-$1500 in a matter of hours, but when the price goes down like that it's suddenly a problem.

A lot of these larger price swings are fueled by long/short squeezes, and when the market is already wildly fluctuating, it can look a bit messy.

now we can't predict the bitcoin volatility, whatever happens.  but I hope there will be no more bear markets this year.  because the price of bitcoin is still not reaching the maximum price as in 2017

people will always be negative if the price goes down. a normal reaction from individuals who want a continuous price increase. but we are in the real world, we can't expect things to be in smooth sailing, the fluctuation of btc price makes it more interesting...

Some people says the current price of bitcoin is too volatile because in the same day the price can be pumped over $1000 or dumped more than $1000 and during use bitcoin volatility seems always be there and apparently volatility is became an bitcoin nature which is cannot be change and maybe rather than other currency then bitcoin is more unique because belong to this character but following to the development of bitcoin maybe it will slightly decrease depend on market situations

The change is not really strange to me , and I don’t expect bitcoin volatility to disappear or drastically reduce for now, when we still have enough supply in the market for us to play around with, which is also more than enough for the market makers to use to manipulate the market as they like, but like you said, as time goes on, and since bitcoin has a finite supply, there is no way the volatility of bitcoin would not disappear.

That will be when the supply is extremely limited and bitcoin would be more useful as a stable coin then other than the way we all use it for investment now, I think we will be having another 5 years more before we can get to that stage of non-volatility of bitcoin, then it will also be more useful to store of value like gold, because it will also be very expensive then to purchase.

What happened in the last two years is real evidence of why people join the cryptocurrency community.  Those who invested until 2016 now have a fairly good profit, especially considering the growth in 2017.  And the desire to get rich is still present today and that is why volatility attracts people to Bitcoin.

Exactly.Bitcoin's volatility is what makes all the people here in crypto community gets attracted and thrilled whenever a big pump or dump happen.If you have been holding your bitcoins for such a long term and you sell it when its price have reached its peak,i'm sure you will really make huge profits.That's why i totally believe that with bitcoin's volatility becoming rich is never that hard and impossible.

Volatility is simply attached to Bitcoin. It cannot simply be controlled. Remember that investors and other Bitcoin owners and traders are constantly selling and buying Bitcoin depending on the particular prices. This gives the price movements of Bitcoin more changes very often. Moreover, Bitcoin's demand is highly affected by several factors outside the trading platform. That is why a lot of traders are constantly looking out for news that might affect the price.

But what will happen if the volatility keep contiues while more and more people coming into the market,feels like market will boom at some point.

But reality is the volatility will be ther forever but the range of volatility can be increase when we start using cryptos for making paymanet and everyone will do this means we are not in need of exchanging them into fiat.

[FanEagle]

Now, volatility is risky for some people I can totally understand that but if you ask me volatility is the proof that we are seriously in a deregulation market that has no central controlling government or any place that could actually threaten the well being of bitcoin. Look at other markets, when a company does something shady or whatever government takes care of it right away, they jail them or they punish them with extra legal costs and so forth.

However, if you look at bitcoin there is no central location that could do that which means we can totally go to a million dollars per bitcoin and drop to 100 bucks per bitcoin and nobody has the authority to ask us anything, there is no "bitcoin federal bank" or whatever that could be called upon, who are you going to call if you want to punish bitcoin, we are all bitcoins center, every single one of us so volatility is not going anywhere.

That is right, volatility is what really attracted lots of people to cryptocurrency generally and not only bitcoin, people are here in the industry to make money and have not yet fully embraced the main reason for creating a cryptocurrency technology. Volatility will not complete disappear in the cryptocurrency market generally, it has come to stay, it will only be reducing in some coins as time goes by, because the more we progress in this industry, the more new projects are being created and new volatility being created also.

Bitcoin volatility will eventually disappear in future, although not completely, but at least its volatility will be 90% gone, by then, it will automatically turn to an expensive stable coin, and people will be using more of satoshi then.

Volatility is the reason why traders and users earn some profits by trading it in the exchange or holding it till its price go up. Volatility have been a part of every cryptocurrency's nature with the exception of stablecoins.The rapid fluctuation in the price of bitcoin may be risky to every user but it also beneficial to the investors if the bitcoin go into bullrun. Every user should learn how to manage risks to prevent further losses when dealing with the cryptocurrencies.

Volatility will remain in cryptocurrencies for as long as no government entity or third-party would ever control over its production, price, and supply in the market. Since cryptocurrencies have a limited supply in the market, its price would primarily determined by the law of demand and supply.

Compared to any conventional investment methods preset, almost all of them are governed by each entity. That is also the reason on why the returns on such investment is significantly lower compared to Bitcoin but with the expense of having collateral and security.

Cryptocurrency is very risky in terms of long-term or short-term investment due to the active volatility cause by traders around the globe. That's why it is very important to practice or learn how to manage risk to prevent more losses. Quick and simple research may be enough to learn how to manage but it takes a lot of trials and error before you could actually fully control most of your losses.

Is bitcoin volatility here to stay and not decrease?

i dont think so. check the last month. it moved too much.
And another thing is that volatility is a good thing in crypto market. if the bitcoin price was stable, i dont think there would be that much investors in the ecosystem.

that's indeed and we know the fact people realized bitcoin as a commodity rather than currency and we know that so many countries have prohibited to use bitcoin as currency.
Volatility will always become the main thing that searched by so many speculators anytime.
that's the main consideration to call bitcoin as commodity

[Faxmate]

Due to bitcoin limited supply and more demand ongoing  developments and new news adoption bitcoin prices keep speculating in the market as per the demand but in long term we can expect huge returns if we hold bitcoin

Yes price changes and we will have to take advantage of it, when price is down we should hold because only holding can give us profitable return for our investment, I like volatility the most for chance to buy at low price and selling higher, price of bitcoin is volatile so when it falls in the market we get chance to buy at low price and when it rises we get chance to sell higher, so stay here price is gonna be very higher now.

[diazepam666]

Yes obviously Bitcoin and all the cryptocurrencies should be volatile in the marketplace.

If this volatility is not there in the market definitely none of the traders will be able to make money. Then because of this volatility nature only Bitcoin is trying to wrap up to the peak value what was seen in the year 2017 December.
we will see the peak value again in the market because of this volatility nature.
