Volatility is not a bug

[Mate2237]

Volatility is what actually makes Bitcoin unique, it gives Bitcoin property this is one distinguishing factor of Bitcoin that helps it stands out. Your ability to understand this quality of Bitcoin is very important and will be valuable to anyone who hopes to accumulate Bitcoin. Volatile is not something that we should worry ourselves about because volatility on the long run is beneficial than as it seems to be on the surface.


Volatile is about price correction this is a basic knowledge of Bitcoin I have come to understand, any time the price of Bitcoin is about to be corrected by taking a surge on the high, the price of Bitcoin will become volatile initially before bouncing back .

Volatile is not something that we should worry ourselves about because volatility on the long run is beneficial than as it seems to be on the surface.

From day one it is part of bitcoin and it is not just bitcoin every other market Volatility is just for you to know how to control your self when you find your self in that situation, because if you allow things like this bother you and that is why you have to be emotionally, because the stability can be used to your advantage Volatility can be be normal thing by accumulating more when the price is down. And since the intention is to hold for a very long time then there is nothing to panic about about because the most important is to control your emotions.

Volatile is about price correction this is a basic knowledge of Bitcoin I have come to understand, any time the price of Bitcoin is about to be corrected by taking a surge on the high, the price of Bitcoin will become volatile initially before bouncing back .

That is what people don't understand is that is price corrections but a lot of people are acting like the world is going to end so people need to calm down because this is just part of the system and we have to learn to leave with it because it can not be avoided, a lot of things have been going on in the market of late so if you are not strong willed you will get depressed.

Without volitility Bitcoin might not be attractive to investors. Most people are not using Bitcoin because of itsdecentralised nature, which promotes privacy. They are in the Bitcoin market for profit. Volatility is the reason why Bitcoin could be a hedge against inflation. I am keeping my money in Bitcoin because, unlike fiat, its value increases.

If Bitcoin was not volatile, we could have not had investors who buy bitcoin as we have and use the word investment in bitcoin because we expect to get reward and result, like someone who has put out money to work for us, and I agree with you many people who we have now involved in bitcoin would be more concerned about the profit that can be made from it than other use which Bitcoin is made for, if there was nothing like hope for profit to be added to invested amount and Bitcoin was somehow stable I doubt the community could have been this loud.

Volatility of Bitcoin and this market makes people feel it is a potential investment asset and interesting emerging market for their investment with chances of getting profit with time. With the same market and its volatility, there are people who are either investors or traders with different strategies, actions but they have same ultimate goals: profit. Aiming at profit but by having different approaches (investment and trading), as well as used strategies, they will gain different results.

It's nothing secret, as in all markets, there are more losers than winners and people must all be aware about this fact, so that they will be well-prepared before starting as well as responsible for any results they get finally.

Why do you think 0.3 BTC is far from your reach ? It is quite an achievable number.
Matter of fact, I would like to know how did you come to this number ? Is there some kind of calculation behind it or what ?
For me, the number is 1 BTC. As simple as that, it is surely a target for many people to acquire one whole bitcoin and for me as well.

Owning as much bitcoin as possible is the dream of all investors. But this will depend on each individual. Because everyone's circumstances, income and financial goals are different, and whether or not those goals are achieved will depend on each person plan and strategy.

Currently, owning 0,3BTC is a dream for many people, let alone owning 1BTC. This will gradually become an impossible task as the price of bitcoin continues to rise in the coming years

It's both the security and potential BTC has.

In the near future, some years maybe, the volatility will become less and less a factor due to such a big cap being in BTC.. to move it would be a feat in of itself.

That's true. We are still at a good spot since bitcoin price is currently below $100k.
As price increases, it will become more difficult for us to accumulate for bitcoins.
But still I don't get it why people are dreaming for 0.3 BTC. Whats about this magical number ?
I mean, it could be 0.2 BTC or 0.4 BTC or may be 0.5 BTC but why specifically 0.3 BTC.

[Zigabel]

Bitcoin volatility is a feature, not a bug like many people are making it look like.

The market is in bad condition now and that bad side comes with opportunity, strictly for those who understands.

Volatility is why we will always have a new ATH.
Volatility is why new opportunity presents itself.
Volatility is why Bitcoin will always be considered a good investment option.

If we keep going up and never come down, the attraction will keep decreasing, and those who have been saying that Bitcoin is too costly will be the true winner but that's not the case.

Volatility is why me having 0.3BTC someday is possible, if we keep going up and never down, I will never be able to get to that number unless I am very rich.

Volatility is the fuel for value, if there is no volatility, there will hardly be value to look forward to in the market, the appreciation and occasional depreciation that helps regulate price and value are all fueled by volatility. Moving both ways has made volatility very beneficial and essential to establish some kind of balance in the market at times when needed the most. the hope of owning bitcoin at retail scale are some times volatility dependent because these moves gives you the opportunity to see levels for entries and get a chance for proper accumulation of Bitcoin and other crypto assets. The market is alive when there is volatility and in the absence of Volatility, we may not have a healthy market.

[Judith87403]

You opinion makes sense. Volatility is included in the growth process of Bitcoin. Huge swings in price shakes out weak hands, create points of entry, and before the next move up reset the market. Without pullbacks, it might turn inaccessible much quicker and concentrate ownership in the midst of  buyers early or wealthy. Haven said that, volatility cut across both ways. It builds opportunity, yet equally risk. The major difference is the mindset and time horizon. For investors who are patient and have understanding of what they hold, volatility would be a added advantage instead of something to fear.

As I replied in another thread with a contrary view, for me, Bitcoin's volatility is a side effect related to supply, demand, halving, and economic and political turbulence. It's neither a feature nor a bug; it's simply the market functioning as it should until a fair price for the asset is found.

If it were considered a feature, we would have to admit that the volatility is intentional, therefore manipulated. If we consider it a bug, we would have to admit that Bitcoin is flawed and needs to be corrected.

I am not an expert on Bitcoin's technical issues, so this is just the view of a layman, observing the behavior of markets in general and applying a similar behavior to cryptocurrencies.

True, the reason why the price of anything fluctuates up and down, which we call volatility, is because of the changes in either supply or demand.  The ever-changing supply on the market and its counterpart, demand, dictate how wild this fluctuation is.  This price swing is never been in the original feature of Bitcoin but rather an outside factor that determines how the price of Bitcoin is made.

If it were considered a feature, we would have to admit that the volatility is intentional, therefore manipulated. If we consider it a bug, we would have to admit that Bitcoin is flawed and needs to be corrected.

This is why Bitcoin volatility is not the original feature of Bitcoin, as I said, it is the outside natural factor affecting the price of Bitcoin - the supply and demand.

[IjawMan]

Volatility is an inherent feature in bitcoin market that at this time every bitcoin person should know and not get bothered with whenever it is taking it course in the market. Replacing the fear for opportunity to expand the bitcoin size we have.

Bitcoin volatile is decided by the forces of demand and supply of the bitcoin market,.and when there are more selling hands dew to market sentiment the price of bitcoin usually depreciate, some call it market correction, and in line with what other users have mentioned, without volatility, bitcoin would have been just another form of fiat currency  that would have been bugged by inflation.

• Yes, from my point of view volatility is not a bug .
• Sometimes volatility helps you improve yourself. Just as taking risks is not wrong, volatility is not wrong either. Just as you are studying,volatility will have a positive effect, if you see the volatility of BTC, you feel volatility, then you take the risk and buy some BTC,after five or six years you see that the BTC price has increased a lot, then that volatility and taking risks have had a positive effect on you, it has improved you.

Let me give you an example: When a close brother of mine asked me to buy a piece of BTC in 2013, I said no because I did not know about BTC at that time, I thought that these will not work. Later in 2018, I bought some BTC pieces. It is still going down, I am having volatility, but I am patient that it will reach a good price at some point.

Do you consider volatility as a flaw or do you think volatility is just the beginning of improvement?

Bitcoin’s volatility can be seen as a risk and also an opportunity.A risk in the sense that it would affect day traders when there’s a drastic dip while for those that are waiting for the dip before they start accumulating,it’s made possible as a result of volatility,if there was no volatility then there wouldn’t have been a strategy called “waiting for the dip” in the crypto space.So in summary,bitcoin’s volatility isn’t a bug rather it an opportunity and a risk,my honest truth to those saying bitcoin is too expensive to afford is that they should look for other investment worth risking and worth returning because there’s an advantage of investing.

It's a thing we need to adapt to, it's not a pros or a con, it's just the fact.

And we may use to our advantage or disadvantage.

I’ll agree with you, volatility is the engine.
What a lot of people shy away from is that volatility only becomes an opportunity if you build discipline and liquidity, otherwise it’s just emotions. The same volatility that creates "buy the dip" also creates the "sell the bottom" for people who lack proper risk management.
 And I do not think that bitcoin is too expensive, it is psychological and not financial, people look at the unit price instead of the cycles, market cap and the % returns.

Volatility is quite neutral, doesn't really care about strategy
It isn’t a bug and not automatically an opportunity
 It is a tool.

Remember these days as people would say in the future that the current price was the golden opportunity and it's not possible now to buy BTC properly with a good price.

It all repeats itself every cycle..
