Isn't speculation and volatility a problem for Bitcoin?

[uneng]

It actually depends on how you treat Bitcoin. If you want to start a business which uses Bitcoin as the primary currency, you might see it as a problem. Furthermore, if you want to use Bitcoin as money, it could also be a problem. But if you are using Bitcoin simply as a speculative asset, then volatility is not really a problem. It could be a double-edged sword but it is generally worth appreciating knowing that your goal is to predict the pattern of the rise and fall of its price and make money out of it.

True. Everything depends on your needs on the currently moment. Knowing how to use bitcoin for your own benefit at the right situations to achieve your goals, speculation and volatility won't be a problem at all. Probably they will be even an advantage. However awareness and wisdom are needed, because if the person thinks bitcoin's characteristics are fully benefical or fully prejudicial in every cases they will lose money and golden investment opportunities that may not be disponible again soon.

Indeed, higher volatility of the market could be a problem and can be an opportunity for other people at the same time. Traders and investors take advantage of the volatility of the market, resulting in better profits and losses as well. I think the volatility factor is the reason why most people are into BTC and it will never be stable because that's what makes it different from traditional securities such as stocks. So if you have a better risk management, then crypto is for you.

Not a problem as I am aware of the market situation about volatility. We can never rid of this thing that is why we should have to deal this or the 2nd option is to leave. I don't think this has become a problem for us because in the first place, making the volatility of the market making it more alive. But what I see is the problem, it is between us who can accept the reality.
We'd come out of this speculation because of the volatility of the market that needs for us to live on as we are in the crypto world.

Isn't speculation and volatility a problem for Bitcoin?

This question cannot be answered unequivocally. Bitcoin is widely used now as a speculative financial asset and has very high price volatility. By this, it attracts most of the participants in this market, since it provides an opportunity to receive high profits, which are much higher than in other markets. However, the use of bitcoin mainly as a speculative asset does not allow it to be widely used as a means of payment and, thus, it does not fully fulfill its purpose.
The price volatility of bitcoin, like that of all cryptocurrencies, is both a boon and a downside. But this is inherent in the nature of decentralized cryptocurrency and it is unlikely that anything can be changed here.

If BTC is not speculative and volatile then we don't see that much activity in crypto. Its this volatility that is attracting more and more  investors towards this system. If you play your cards sensibility then there are bright chances that you will get good profit from here. If you dont like this volatility then go and invest in banks.

A good reason why bitcoin is so big with cryptocurrency investors is because of the fact that it has good volatility rate that could pump the price up the same way it could dump it down as well. Really volatility is a double-edged sword for investors because most of them use these sudden price surges and drops as a means to earn money with cryptocurrency. The same goes with speculations.

Exactly. Bitcoin being this dynamic is what caused all this craze anyway. So it's not entirely bad for cryptocurrencies to be this way at least while they are still a store-of-value asset. The narrative changes however once they become accepted as bona fide currencies that could be used for everyday menial transactions because the slightest fluctuations could cause problems if volatility is not solved.

I think because Bitcoin is a speculative asset and its price is also very volatile, that is the attraction of Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is different from
other assets, investing in Bitcoin can generate huge profits in a short period of time. This means we can get rich faster if we focus on investing
in Bitcoin, because the price of Bitcoin is volatile that's why it can generate large profits if we are able to take advantage of it. But indeed the risk is
very high, we can also experience big losses if we make the wrong decision. That is the importance of learning about Bitcoin first, before deciding
to invest in Bitcoin, so that we understand how Bitcoin works and finally the decisions we take are also right.

speculation and vitality is indeed a problem for bitcoin, but it all depends on the person who invests, if they invest in the short term, maybe it will be a problem for them, but not for those who invest in the long term, because they will not worry about all of that, in my opinion that's about it.

[cotton ball]

Bitcoin's ups and downs don't just happen once or twice, but will keep on repeating like any other investment instrument. There will be many periods as we see today, where negative catalysts have changed the technical chart and it's all getting worse when market participants start taking profits. , but I personally think the volatility that occurs will never make people panic, because most people invest in the long term, I think many people will never question the problem.

[Spack17]

Speculation is a big problem for Bitcoin of course. Because FUDs can affect the price really seriously sometimes. But in the recent times, I see that Bitcoin is stronger than before. For example, we have newly seen that China tried to affect the price with a FUD like they banned cryptocurrencies. But Bitcoin price still stayed strong and even increased as you can see now. When it comes to volatility, it is not a problem actually. Because it is the biggest reason that people invest into Bitcoin. If it was a stablecoin, then there would be so many people who would stop investing into it. Because their main goal is to make serious profits in Bitcoin.

While a currency needs to have stability to become feasible, an asset doesn't need to obey the same principle. A means of exchange needs to be stable, durable, divisible, and difficult to be counterfeit, on the other hand, an economic asset doesn't need to abide by these same principles. Volatility in Bitcoin may be a problem for someone who uses it as a currency, but it can also be a good thing for someone to speculate. That said, depending on what you want to do with your bitcoin, volatility and speculation can be a good thing.

Volatility is the master thing in crypto which makes greatest trades ever. Peeps actually make genuine profits just because of the heavy price movement of crypto over short period of time they book handsome profits. The crypto volatility also gives chance to the staking market, the confidence of price movement over period of time has always seen in upward direction! So either way we can use this drawback for the profit making if done in proper ways.

Also I dont get it, why speculation is problem here? Speculation is just way to understand and forecast the value trends in the near future. I am pretty sure that speculation is way common thing in the share market, stocks, golds and what not. Everything runs on it and its not a problem at all.

Volatility bro

That will depend on how you can filter the news or make the right analysis so you are not just speculating with the market. The volatility will be with bitcoin price and I think that will happen like that in the future. Someone who invests in bitcoin will need to know how to deal with the volatility because if they can not do that, I am afraid that they will not be able to keep their bitcoin for a long time. After all, they will panic when the price drops too deep.

The biggest problem is the number of countries that have banned Bitcoin so that development is very slow, I'm sure if it is legalized, there will be many benefits that can be obtained with bitcoin, speculation and volatility are things that we usually get from investment, and because speculation and volatility make people interested in getting into the business. bitcoin in the hope of making a profit.

Biggest problem is giving basic knowledge about bitcoin and crypto because recently we have some good number of feuds and disinformation about this around the world, so peoples have no basic information and good knowledge about this if we were able to spread this then surely we will be able to have some good adoption and many countries automatically unban this because they feel peoples understand this and can handle it's all volatility.

If you are understood then speculation and volatility can't give you serious trouble you need some strategy which help you to settle things in better way, but education is more important.

I don't think speculation and volatility are a problem at all to bitcoin. Both aforementioned factors are what makes bitcoin what and where it is today. In my opinion, speculation and volatility are actually beneficial to bitcoin's price value making it profitable to the users who are investing, trading, and holding it.
Speculation is what triggers the volatility and volatility is the one that is in charge of the trend of bitcoin on the market. I think both play a great role in maintaining bitcoin's value and popularity to the masses. With speculation, people will start to wonder if it's a worthy investment and with volatility, they will be encouraged and enticed to risk into it based on what they have researched.

If we look at a non-crypto perspective, speculation and volatility are terms that may bring negativity. But in the eye of a bitcoiner, speculation and volatility may mean profits. They are the reason why bitcoin value reach any heights and fall into its deepest dip. And without them, the crypto market will not be as exciting as today because these two meaningful words has kept bitcoin and the whole crypto market alive and more interesting especially for newbies. Volatility is what giving us more opportunities to gain good profits particularly if we started it from long term holding until we witness its new all time high.

Logically, it should look like a problem but in reality, that's the charm of bitcoin. Speculations and high volatility are linked with each-other (well, volatility alone sticks with bitcoin). This is the real reason why bitcoin is a popular investment option. Just see, one day you can wake up and see 20% growth on your invested capital. If you catch the good moment of fall and open short position in futures trading, even if there is 30% decline in bitcoin's price, you can wake up with 30% profit and even more bitcoins than before.

You want stable coins? There are USDT, BUSD and others. But they aren't popular in crypto world, so you know now.

I'm not going to talk about speculation because it's not unique to bitcoin or other crypto assets but talking about volatility, it's a unique attribute of Bitcoin and the entire crypto market as a whole and I think that's one of the defining factors that makes Bitcoin and all of crypto different from other markets. I also wanted to point out that stablecoins like USDT and BUSD might not be popular to everyone especially people who just buy and old but it's important to people who trade since it provides and option that you can hedge to when market goes sideways.
