Is BTC Volatility More of an Advantage than Disadvantage?

[Wexnident]

I mean without volatility, Bitcoin wouldn't even be a haven for better traders to profit and a hell for bad traders. People trade Bitcoin because it's profitable, and it's profitable due to how volatile it is. With a swerve in an hour, shorters could earn a lot of money depending on when they entered and the amount they entered. Volatility means more chances to profit but there's always a negative for that, which is more chances to lose out. It's give and take when it comes to probability, 50/50 always. If you were gawking about how losing money in trading is but proud that you earned money, that isn't even trading, that's being entitled thinking that you should be given the right to profit always in trading even of all places.

Volatility is a feature of BTC which cannot be eliminated. You can look at it from a different angles but it's always gonna be with BTC. I see it more like an advantage.

Bitcoin is a long-term development of value currency, as everyone knows.
The volatility of prices is unknown to traders. Everyone will only predict part of it and not predict the time accurately. Volatility affects traders. Some are good and some are bad. Everyone will not always succeed in predicting the results.

One of the undeniable features of BTC is price Volatility. When the market is green, a trader can run into massive profits. However, on a bad day ones Portfolio can varnish within hours. My question, is the price volatility of BTC more of an advantage than disadvantage to traders?

Someone who trades futures can earn from bitcoin's pump or dump so it's an advantage to them and to me, cause tbh what makes the crypto market really interesting is the fact that the price of any coin can go up 100x or do the opposite, the volatility makes the crypto market a fun but risky place to play in, if I wanted something stable I wouldn't be here I would have been busy stacking fiat, I see the volatility of bitcoin as an advantage not the other way round.

volatility brings profit or loss, it depends on the ability of each individual. For those who can analyze the market, of course, volatility is an opportunity to make a profit, with a number of analyzes using the available indicators, it can be used to determine the direction of price developments. while for those who do not have market analysis skills, the unpredictable high price changes will actually frighten them.

well, some like a challenge, and some don't. Understanding market analysis and participating in the waves of volatility is one way to make a profit in the crypto world. there are many strategies that can be used, learn ... and find the strategy that best suits your abilities

For a trader, volatility is a mean and this will really influence that trader to take profits or not. With volatility, traders can get profits if they really know how to trade. The volatility is commonly utilized by mostly the day-trade. But it can also be used by a short-term investor or trader. We may not be able to do a day-trade, but we can still utilize the volatility to take the profits in a short term, not daily. The way is by reading and analyzing the volatility, chart, and also price difference is the certain time frame.

However, volatility may not give really big impact to a holder, Once they decide to hold the Bitcoin for a long-term investment, it will not be a matter anymore.

In the past ten years, Bitcoin has developed and grown a lot. For us investors, compared with some traditional assets or gold, Bitcoin can bring us more substantial returns.
Due to the volatility of Bitcoin, many investors may not be able to withstand such high risks, but volatility is the uniqueness of Bitcoin. Although market fluctuations will cause the price of Bitcoin to drop significantly in a short period of time, it also ensures that the price of Bitcoin will not be limited to horizontal fluctuations for too long.

to me its both sides but you can always counter the disadvantage with take profit when market is green and buy when market is down, volatility not just happen in crypto but it happen on gold and stock even not high as bitcoin. when asset price high volatility alwasy come to play.

[Melody kdl]

With the increase of Bitcoin enthusiasts, there are more and more people using Bitcoin, the transaction volume is also increasing, and the scope of application is also expanding. Bitcoin itself is a highly volatile asset. Like gold, Bitcoin's market value is driven by consensus. As a trader, you can obtain considerable profits in some fluctuations. Volatility is naturally an advantage.

[electronicash]

volatility is not a feature of Bitcoin, it's just the many are speculating the currency and many will buy because of its rarity and people will also sell because of the enormity of the profit. if you are a trader you will look at it mostly as an advantage but if you are a holder you will be regretful if you are not going to sell before a bear market. therefore a disadvantage only if you don't profit.

the long-term holders though are confident of buying more which they don't see volatility as a disadvantage.

[aoluain]

Bitcoins volatility has bot advantages and disadvantages and these depend on who you are.

As an experienced trader or one who knows what you are doing volatility can enable you to
make profits.

If you are an inexperienced trader volatility can work against you.

Prom a non trading point of view volatility allows us to "Buy the Dips" and to DCA
(Dollar cost average)

Volatility also offers those opposed to Bitcoin opportunities to attack it and create FUD,
this as we know is futile, they think its an advantage but we know its their disadvantage.

[Kakmakr]

I see volatility as a manageable opportunity to recover losses or to make some profit. So, say you bought when the price was high, then you just have to wait for the price to spike to make some profit... but if you were forced to sell at a low price.. then you can have a opportunity to get back in on the low price to recover your losses.. when the price spike again.

In affect... if you manage volatility to your advantage and you do not look at short-term gains... then Bitcoin volatility can be used to help you to manage the risk. (Do not sell early / be willing to wait / Do not panic / Get in low / Do not get greedy by selling too late) 

                                                    Manage the Risk of Bitcoin volatility to favor you!

[bryant.coleman]

I don't know whether anyone really benefits from an increase in volatility. You can argue that the traders benefit from it, but I don't agree. In trading you only benefit if someone else is losing on the other side. And I have talked to a few traders recently and it is a mixed situation, with a few having suffered crippling losses during the last few months. In all the other sectors, a high volatility rate is not preferable. The merchants suffer losses, if they accept direct payments in BTC and the exchange rate goes down by 10% or 20% in a day. Those who receive their salaries in Bitcoin also face the same issue.

The huge price volatility of Bitcoin also represents the vitality of Bitcoin and the frequency of continuous change of hands. In a sense, this is a manifestation of healthy development. Some people see it as a huge risk. I think it is a test of whether Bitcoin holders have Bitcoin beliefs. Bitcoin's volatility largely represents the sentiment of the Bitcoin market, and it also complies with Pareto's law. Don't panic, long-term holding is correct.

whether btc's volatility is more of an advantage than a loss, in my opinion you can say yes.. throughout this week, the price of Bitcoin is still up about 6 percent along with the tug of war between sellers and buyers in the market. A report from the Skew crypto market analysis agency stated that Bitcoin's volatility level remains high even though the price level has stabilized since mid-May.

Buy at dump and sell at pump is the way to earn repeated profit in a same day in cryptocurrency including bitcoin.

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

For me, it's more of an advantage because with the volatility, you can always get in anytime you want since the prices go up and down plus, it's helpful that the market is volatile so it can't be manipulated since no one can totally control the market due to volatility. Another reason is that it can help you filter out people that are in it for the long run and those that are for the quick cash.

Buy at dump and sell at pump is the way to earn repeated profit in a same day in cryptocurrency including bitcoin.

It's easy to say buy at the dump and sell at the pump. but in real terms the mental will continue to play out while trading. The huge volatility of bitcoin keeps the price from fluctuating. It could be a big advantage and also a very big loss. Do not always be tempted by big profits, pay attention to the risks that will occur.

profit and loss in trading is certain, it's just a matter of how we can manage it well by optimizing profits and minimizing losses.

[Obito]

Of course, this is an advantage. Price stagnation, that would be the biggest problem.

Price stagnation is close to impossible from happening because an active market will always have a fluctuation no matter how stable we declare it is, look at forex, the prices there are stable but the prices are still moving up and down because there's an activity in the market for them, I think a market will only stagnate when no one trades there so basically the market of that is already in shambles. Yes bitcoin's volatility is more of an advantage than disadvantage because the volatility makes it fair for everyone in the market and that anyone can still get in even if the price of bitcoin goes up but since there's volatility, they get to get in at lower prices.

[Levero]

Bitcoin volatility will play an important role in determining price movements in the short term.

The high volatility of the cryptocurrency market is attractive to traders and has great potential. Many traders will gain more benefits by analyzing market volatility trends.
