Yes and it is controlled by people with a lot of money, banks, institutions... They control the price of bitcoin. It has been low since new year and it will increase now because they want to increase. You as one person can only predict and see what are they doing and try to make some money from their behaviour.

You are right, i am personally concerned to this factor that bitcoin price is volatile.
Though, it may be the reason why some business wights yet prefer not to hold or accept bitcoin as a payment method.
 We can only hope of counteraction on its volatility in future if more people start insinuating Bitcoin.
Well eventually if we talk about the votality of bitcoin value , it is indeed appropriate as a part of making more progress of bitcoin. Don't matter for the votality, just be wise to have your satisfaction after all.

Volatility of Bitcoin can not be controlled. One of the main advantages of this currency is that it is not controlled by the government. If is will be controlled, it may loose its users and become less popular and valuable than today. The volatility can be reduced if we have alot of money in the crypto space,  like trillions of dollars,  but it cannot be done away with.
I do not think so . If the rich people in the world shake hands together to invest in this market, do you think it is controlled? If they shake hands together then surely the market will go up and down the way they want. Market capitalization I see is not big enough to get rid of their control.

The volatility cannot be controlled even we will try to because the bitcoin is decentralized. And I think it would be hard for anyone to make a turbulent bitcoin price. all prices due to the pure demand and stock of the users.

I have read some posts and some concerns that it is the volatility of Bitcoin that is preventing many people and many businesses to fully adopt Bitcoin. This can be the main factor why big online shopping stores are not yet adding Bitcoin into their payment facilities (though there is now a circulated petition for this but I doubt if it can make a dent).

Some are really saying that if volatility can be managed then we can see Bitcoin going mainstream. I am wondering then: Is volatility something that we should find a way to control and how do you think it can be done?
I don't think so. We all know that bitcoin is a decentralized currency which means there's no government organizations under it which makes it very volatile too. Another thing that makes it volatile is The continuous changing of demands bitcoin is getting. We all know that bitcoin is under blockchain technology and the mining being made is changing too over time.

In my own opinion, We can't control bitcoin price volatility because of so many investors worldwide and we don't know their plans if they still support bitcoin or not.

Volatility and decentralized is the nature of the bitcoin we can't control it. If anybody tries to endeavor to control bitcoin volatility, may be possible by changing the nature of bitcoin. We realize that volatility is the key for what reason do can make fiat with the bitcoin. If that the bitcoin didn't have volatility and decentralized the bitcoin will be nonsense and it will be not being turned into a mainstream.

I think the bitcoin volatility can not be controlled because bitcoins created with decentralized systems can not be controlled by anyone. and I think if the bitcoin volatility can be controlled then this will make the bitcoin unattractive and well liked by many people. everyone likes bitcoin because bitcoin has high fluctuations and volatility, this volatility that makes people rich.

I don't think so. Market was always living own life and only very big players can change something but it will not be noticeably because of high price.


I think if bitcoin is tamed it will lose its appeal to some people.
While it may be one of the reasons why businesses do not adopt bitcoin, I think volatility is one reason why many traders use bitcoin.

Some think that volatility could be controled or even that is possible to make some manipulatuons with price. I don't think this is possible and this are only conspiracy theories. I beleive that Bitcoin is independent, decentralized and that will stay so. And volatility is natural part of Bitcoin and can't be avoided.

The volatility cannot be controlled even we will try to because the bitcoin is decentralized in the first place so it is impossible for bitcoin to be controlled and it will just waste time and energy for a person to control bitcoin.

Bitcoin is inherently very volatile and I think that it will not be possible to find a way to reduce its volatility. Moreover, if bitcoin continues to grow in price, its volatility will also increase. This is evidenced by the last December increase in the cost of bitcoin to $ 20,000 and its subsequent decline to almost $ 6,000. You can imagine how much bitcoin can drop if it reaches a price of $ 200,000. Then it will be just dangerous to buy bitcoin at such a price because of fear of its falling in price after the appearance of any negative information.

It cannot be controlled that is the only thing that bitcoin holding to increase its own value and also to decreased its own value. Volatility on something is not easy or it can't be possible to control. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrencies which all people decides whether it is going up or going down.

No Its impossible to control Volatilely. Volatility depend on the demand and Price and demand and Price depend on the customer or investment. If the investor want to increase the price it’s also possible because there has no control. Its control totally depend on the market. So it’s called is decentralized market. If there has any organization than its can possible to control it. If it’s possible to control the demand of coin increasing high and most of the country also allow it and government also control it by TEX system.
It’s not possible to control volatility, but it’s possible to control if user able to understand and learn what the reason of Volatility than user is also control their loss.

It could definitely be controlled.

An example of this would be, say we have a bitcoin stability fund that holds half of its assets in bitcoin and the other half in USD. The fund has to be quite large, at least $10 million to make bitcoin really less volatile. The idea is simple, if bitcoin goes up, then the bitcoins are sold to offset the rise and bring bitcoin back to its normal resting level. And bitcoin goes down, the USD is used to buy into bitcoin causing a rise.

However, this is only going to centralize bitcoin. And that's not something that anyone wants in my opinion. And bitcoin should be volatile, it's actually quite attractive to investors this way. If bitcoin is pegged with USD all the time, then whats the difference between bitcoin and USD?
The idea of ​​creating such a fund is perhaps the only way to eliminate the volatility of bitcoins. This is practically one of the main functions of Central banks in a particular state for national money. Therefore, although this idea is not new, but probably the most effective one. However, in this regard, a lot of questions and problems arise. Immediately the question arises: who will create and from what funds this fund and who will control its work?
It seems to me that the creation of such a fund will be very problematic, since many will see this as a threat of centralizing bitcoin. I think that with the increase in the cost of bitcoin, its volatility will also increase.
You forget the amount of this funds is lower than the total market cap of Bitcoin in the market.
$ 134.677.683.934 is the market cap of Bitcoin at current.
10 million dollars can help the whale control a small market like a small exchange, example Poloniex, I think that amount can control the price of Bitcoin in Poloniex exchange in short time.
But if the whale want to control the price of Bitcoin in all exchanges, I am sure this plan never create by a trader, it needs to creates by many rich Bitcoin trader are the whale in the market.

It is hard to control no chance at all. This is because people come and go to invest. Not unless if the total supply of bitcoin is far too big such that the ratio between supply and demand will is still a very big difference. But the value as well will be very low or small.

The decentralization of BTC means that it is difficult to control, but the price is easily fluctuated!

If there is a lot of money for BTC trading! The price of BTC will fluctuate!

Indeed, almost impossible to control bitcoin as long bitcoin using decentralized system. Sometimes bitcoin fluctuation is good because can give opportunity making profits from bitcoin trading in cryptomarket.
