Increase in volatility

[Floczy]

As Bitcoin adoption is increasing companies and institutions are possessing more Bitcoin,
And it has come to understand that just few firms (eg strategy) are possessing larger amount of Bitcoin as time goes by, as a result their actions will influence the market more that ever before

they sale and the market make's sharp drops, creating panic, they buy and market Spike's up, and it seems like control but it isn't, it's just influence, but this can significantly increase volatility, therefore short-term Bitcoin trading happens to be very risky in such market state,

I see how most people try to follow these companies news and sale when they do to later buy, but this approach will cost you losses, a better approach is to depend on long term reward, their actions can affect the market on a short term, but a long term goal will make you care less about all the noises and you wouldn't be affected by these volatility. This firms also want the growth of Bitcoin as their companies are dependant on it, so this is also a sign of a good future.

Short term traders will often want to follow up with all of this news and even more, since it is necessary for them but that is not necessarily the case of an HODLER or one who is investing.
This is a key news for a trader but not necessary for an investor and we know are how investing is more of less risk than trading, oftentimes it is better to HODL rather than trade because might even the cumulative profit might not get to the ROI in the long run.

I think the title of the thread as increasing volatility, it is different from what the topic is all about. This is a very good topic because I like the word 'hodl'. You do not need to add it but I can see it.

This firms also want the growth of Bitcoin as their companies are dependant on it, so this is also a sign of a good future.

This is exactly what I am talking about, do not be hysterical by what people are saying, the companies are also trying to make money from increasing price of bitcoin, the price will later go back up and get to a record level.

Hodl.

Long term hold is always the best but some people always want to be at the top of everything and wants to benefit from every single opportunity in the market. Volatility is a very important factor in the market, and when it becomes even more occurrence, it can be used to your own benefit as short term opportunist in the market.

Short term benefits people derive from the market even be managed well and can be a good opportunity for them, just like having insider informations of this big firms how they enter and exit the market, that will be of great help to take advantage of the market and know when to enter and exit periodically.

I think, you should change the topic of this thread because it's not related to what's in the OP.

Bitcoin volatility isn't as high as before when institutions and governments hasn't become part of bitcoin and during the passage of time, bitcoin volatility will keep reducing because of the high level of adoption. The best way to enjoy bitcoin is to invest and hodli for the future as accumulate with DCA overtime.

I am one of those people who believes that those who follow news online just to invest or even trading are people who are not really interested in making a long term gain but is only concerned about making quick money. Volatility is one of the features of Bitcoin there by making Bitcoin not a too suitable asset for a short term basis. Even companies such as microstrategy that you are making mention of is accumulating Bitcoin on a long term basis.


Therefore there is no reason for short term investment, always prioritize long term because the truth is that volatility will continue to increase over time making the market more risk for anyone who is looking at only short term.

Of course, long-term investment is a hundred times better than trading. Big companies seem to be thinking about the future, as they are already predicting the demand and future of Bitcoin and are preparing for it by buying. Now their big buying and selling may have an impact on the market, but in the future when everyone buys Bitcoin, this impact may not be seen. I personally think that the decline after the ATH is that traders take big profits and enjoy it and immediately after the decline, they buy again so that they can make more profit.

This news is good for a real investor, because a long-term investor can use the opportunities of this decline. For example, depending on his financial situation, he can buy aggressively and hold it for the long term

You made a fair point about long-term accumulation, especially since Bitcoin has historically rewarded patience more than impulsive moves. However, following news does not automatically mean someone is chasing quick money. Long-term investors also monitor news because major events, regulations, institutional adoption, economic policies, or company purchases can influence market sentiment and affect long-term conviction.

Also, volatility does not necessarily increase over time; as adoption grows and more institutions enter the market, many believe Bitcoin could mature and become relatively more stable. The key difference is strategy: short-term traders seek opportunities from price movements, while long-term investors focus on gradual growth. Both approaches exist, but discipline and understanding your risk level matter more than the timeframe itself.

Anyone who is not a day trader should not follow a big institution to play the market game. Big institutions may not only affect the market in the short term, but they also have a big influence as they can influence the market in their own favor. Big institutions have more advantages than most traders because of the high liquidity in their platform, while a sole trader can lose everything they have in one market swing.

I read the topic and the Op, wanted to drop how I think it doesn't correspond before I saw your post. Bitcoin was initially volatile because it didn't gain much adoption as we have today and that's why the bear seasons of the previous cycles were deeper than what we have today. Volatility have reduced more than before because of ETFs significant buys as well as more institutional involvement, they now act as the shock absorber for the market.
That said, long-term holding is the best way to make profit but if you can't afford that, sticking to short-term trading isn't bad.
