Is BTC Volatility More of an Advantage than Disadvantage?

[slaman29]

At the moment, I have to say it's only advantageous to speculators and market makers/takers. Which, for better or for worse, is what the majority of people's involvement in Bitcoin is.

People complain about volatility but as soon as bitcoin becomes stable, people will stop trading it.

I think the beauty would be within the eye of the beholder this case. For example, many traders here within the community came first from, forex, and most likely from the traditional stock markets, etc.
The crypto markets are 24/7 while traditionally, markets are closer to being a 9-5, Monday - Friday (depends on time zone) type of scenario. Those guys are here for either the volatility, the future utility, (or both), and the serenity and sovereignty that Cryptocurrency provide.
  So in my humble opinion, I think the Volatility is a double edged sword. A gift and a curse. The volatility is a Sword of Damocles, Many leverage it all on the volatility hoping to moon, but end up catching a falling knife (liquidation) that was hanging by a single thread of volatility.

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?

For me, it actually depends on how good you are as a trader.

It is an advantage to those pro traders with years of experience in trading industry not only in crypto but outside crypto. And it is a disadvantage to those who don't have a lot of experience or let's say newbies that are starting to learn. And also, it depends on what kind of a trader are you, either a swing, position, or a day trader. It depends to the person who trades.

To bad for people who doesn't have any experience since mostly they are the one who get burned if market goes downside that's why to overcome this they should learn on how to trade properly so that they can somehow see some potential about the volatility of the market and threat it as their advantages. It's hard to master this things but for sure once we learn and became a experience trader for sure we will see a good opportunity when market drops badly and we will not think about bad on it since we always think about good advantages when market moves.

Volatility is market-specific and not unique to bitcoin. This is both a profit and a risk point. What matters is one's plan and understanding of each trend. Trading has absolutely no control over the odds of winning, no one can claim that. It is best that you use your strengths to make the odds of winning more than the disadvantage. It was a great success.

Volatility is good opportunity for traders to buy at low and sell at high and this is how you generate profit. Professioanl traders make profit out of it by using Technical charts and Money/Risk managment skills. When Market is highly volatile like Bitcoin then it is important to use stop loss or you will lose all your invested capital and take buying and selling positions when Technical charts generate strong buying/selling calls.

It depends, sometimes it’s an advantage and sometimes it’s a disadvantage. It all goes down to what you’re using it for. Like you said, when the market goes green and increases in value, it’s an advantage for a lot of people as they are able to make profit from the market. And when it goes down, that becomes a disadvantage since a lot of people ends up losing their money. That aside, I know people that wants to use bitcoin mostly as a method of transaction, but since it is volatile, they find it hard to use it, because they fear they will lose their money when they do.

We make good earnings from fluctuations. We can earn profit by honing our management skills. If there are no fluctuations in the market, there will not be so many earnings. We can buy from below and sell the top. If the market is more panicking, we should make sure to use stop-loss We don't always succeed in doing all this but two of our three trades hopefully give good earnings in fluctuations.

It will depend on the investor's timing. The volatility often mark a detrimental effect on your certain holding since most of the time these days, the value goes down than it goes high. But once you are able to find the right timing on selling, you will learn how beneficial the volatility can be like for example, you bought some of your investment for a low price but after holding for a long while, a bull run takes place and you can sell it in a higher price. Just learn to be patient and always make sure that your decision making is not affected by your emotions for it usually leads you to mistakes which you'll later on regret.

Day traders who have a deep understanding of the market, of course they will take advantage of the volatility of bitcoin, and usually they use technical analysis strategies, chart patterns and market indicators to identify trades to avoid losses, so I think volatility will be more profitable for traders, if they have understanding of market movements.

well this goes for both ways , it increases greed index and most people love this volatility but at the same time most of us get rekt . i think it is better for whales and lucky ones .

- You don't need years of experience and live like a pro to turn volatility to your advantage, just accepting the most basic ambitions and not going too far on that path is enough to be safe, and the newbie doesn't have to be disadvantaged as long as he is a good boy and knows the high mountains are beyond his limits, his range of activities is not at the top of the mountain, where he needs to study is the foothills with many others there. However, perhaps the disease of hearing loss and being too arrogant about talent was a common ailment

From my point of view, it's neither. The existence of volatility in bitcoin price is a natural state of affairs, this process is inevitable given the openness of the ecosystem of bitcoin. People are completely free to join and participate in this game: there is no regulator in this space who can dictate how buyers and sellers should behave. All individuals have their own expectations, beliefs, biases, the level of financial literacy, and they trade and make decisions in accordance with them. It is no advantage nor disadvantage. That is how things should work in a free market. Volatility is chaos, but there is no order without chaos.

As long as you can manage your greed, you will not have a problem and even you will have a big chance to take profit from the volatility because you can see when the time to buy and sell. If you can repeatedly do that, your profit will be bigger and that means you will make a lot of money from trading and have a chance to hold for some amount for the future. I think people can use the chance like what the whales did because they can have their opportunity to make money too.

Bitcoin's volatility has certain advantages for short-term transactions. When the price of Bitcoin changes, buying low and selling high will result in higher income.
 
But for most Bitcoin users to collect, price volatility has an adverse effect on them. When the price of Bitcoin falls, they will panic the market, may blindly buy and sell, and eventually cause greater losses.
 

[gabbie2010]

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.

Yes, high volatility like bitcoin makes anyone interested in bitcoin, investors are certainly looking for investment commodities that have high volatility, and we can get that in bitcoin, other types of investments such as stocks, gold, property and so on are not attractive to me and choose investments that have volatility such as bitcoin.

Even Bitcoin traders always look forward to it volatility which is more advantageous because the price will move quickly to take profit if they long trade in a bullish uptrending and short trade in a bearish downtrending, thus volatility is always traders delight, that is what makes the money, however inexperienced traders or investors can get liquidated in a jiffy losing the whole portfolio, which some people might said it is an disadvantage of volatility of  Bitcoin which I totally disagree with that notion,

[LogitechMouse]

My question, is the price volatility of BTC more of an advantage than disadvantage to traders?

This question is subjective because different investors or traders have different experiences and outcomes when it comes to riding the volatility of crypto.
Some will say that volatility is an advantage for them because they gained profit because of it but on the other hand, some will say it is a disadvantage too because they lose most of their money because of it.

Simple, if you are losing in trading then just hold and be patient and with that Bitcoin will be an advantage to you because you will gain profit maybe not in the short term especially when you bought it at the peak price or near to it but in a few years of holding you will gain profit because of volatility.

Volatility is what move the market whether to bullish trend or bearish trend. The market needs volatility for it to move which us characterized by the percentage of buy pool and sell pool. If the number of buy pool is greater than the sell pool, then the market is going to buy forming a bullish trend moving in a higher high and higher low patterns.

When the number of sell pool is greater than the buy pool, then the market is going to sell forming a lower high and lower low patterns making a Bearish trend. This is why risk management is a good tools in trading which can reduce the amount of loses one can make in the market if price volatility eventually turn against one.

It's an advantage, that's why I am still in the market because I can sell anytime and get profit and wait for the price to go down again and then buy back again to hopefully get in the market again and wait for bitcoin to go up again. If you know how to work around the volatility, you will not have any problem and will always think of bitcoin's volatility as an advantage.
