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 think it can't be controlled. Bitcoin is naturally volatile. Fluctuations are always expected since its market value only depends on the demand that it is getting from the market. And since the demand can't be controlled such that it changes everytime, same thing happens on its price.

Sometimes, the Bitcoin volatility still needs to creates by someone has money enough to control the market. Therefore, we have the whales, they are controlling the Bitcoin price and other markets, they are people have many money as billionaire Roll Eyes

Exactly it is the case. Whenever the price is fluctuating, there are so many reasons behind it, but the most important is the interest of whales. This price going up and down are being influenced by these billionaires who are just making everything up for their own advantage. Hence we see prices going up and up and then falling down with no reason. They have their own monopoly.

No.Bitcoin volatility cannot be controlled.As long as it has investors here and there.There will always its ups and downs.Maybe in the near future it can be but its like stocks also that we cannot predict if its higher or lower.

Volatility in any asset cannot be 'controlled'

So Bitcoin volatility cannot be controlled but in the future it should become more stable. Fiat currencies have a much longer history and even some of them are quite unstable and sometimes crash see Venezuela money recently. Diversifying in different fiat currencies is a way to mitigate volatility. Of course, if one Satoshi Nakamoto wants to crash the Bitcoin then given its million of coins it may well do so ;-)

Bitcoins volatility is cannot be controlled we do not know when it will go high. For as long as mamy customers ordered and invest bitcoin the flactuation would remain higher. but if investors dump the coins the price would decrease.

I think No one can control the volatility of bitcoin. In fact it is one of the best feature that we surely liked. Although there where times that it has the ups and down of its price but it cannot affect to lose our interest in bitcoin. Good thing about being its volatile is we can earn much more by keeping them till the price of bitcoin will higher. Being volatility of bitcoin is not a hindrance but it is the best and thrilling part.

For me. I can say that Sure it can. Bitcoin is just currently at a very young stage, therefore there will be problems, bugs, innefficiencies, and the like. Hopefully in the very near future these problems will be adressed. Also, bitcoin needs to be more newbie friendly, to a point where everyone will very little knowledge can use it. I can only imagine bitcoin's price being stable a few years after global adoption ... And you know and we know that volatility is the key why bitcoin became popular and why we can earn profit to it and why it is the best for trading. so just imagine if volatility is controlled or regulated then it can greatly affect the bitcoin market and also the people who are always depending on it. yet stores can still use bitcoin even if its volatile because they can always adjust their pricing according to the current value of bitcoin...

I think we can only affect the volatility. We cannot control since it is the market and the mining who does that. If many people are going to be careless in spreading informations about bitcoin, it will surely lead to bigger troubles since bitcoin has been made famous by the crowd. We should also remember that bitcoin is not owned by anyone so the price would really change uncontrollably and continuously as time passes by.

Well I don't think so because bitcoin's volatility is here ever since and it is one of the major reasons why many people became attracted with bitcoin. Also we should remember that bitcoin is decentralized so its value is not really constant. There are a lot of things occuring in the market everyday and we should be informed and aware with that so that we won't miss a thing and we would have an idea about the pumps and dumps.

i think controlled is not the right word
maybe can be affected ,yes i think so
when FUD scatters it normally have some effects to the investors
and price of bitcoin

That gives a lot of panic to these traders or even investors itself. FUD just kind of the unfair how people are spreading the fake news to get the more attention by the investors.
Just like the more bitcoin cash fans try to spread the fake news claimed the bitcoin cash as the next real bitcoin.

Certainly I can be sure that bitcoin price fluctuations are controlled by a person or group, of course they are the majority owners of bitcoin and most of them are exchanges. I'm sure there is a special way from them to get profit from bitcoin price fluctuations.

For some kind of reasons I would say yes, but eventually they cannot recklessly do it so, it because it is noticeable for some other traders and may lead to lose interest by some traders too, that is why they are also carefully choosing their actions. In terms of volatily i think its yes, while maybe few or some are taking advantage of the proce fluctuations.

bitcoin is a virtuan currency that has no foundation whatsoever like fiat. no one can control the volatile bitcoin. we are only able to follow the current market. and just learn how to profit from it all.

Of course not, no one can not unless you are manipulating this. Every market is really volatile this is how we make money thru ups and downs of every market. The volatility of bitcoin is unpredictable and it can happens any time, so if you are trading you have to watch it for sure, but in long term it will surely goes up.

Volatility in any asset cannot be 'controlled'
I know most about fiat currencies, so putting my answer in that context:
Currency baskets for example dampen vol by spreading it across a bunch of assets hopefully reducing overall vol
Pegged currencies to a basket hope to have the same impact
Pegged currencies to only one currency eg. a Carribean currency tied to USD just take on the vol of the USD

Volatility can be a good thing if you want the upswings and can cope with the downswings
there's a lot of academic papers on vol if you want a more precise stat based answer

With a market cap that reaches over $ 100 billion, 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.

Bitcoin will not be so famous if it wasn't with the help of its value's volatility. It is one of the main thing that keeps attracting more and more people to go do bitcoin everyday. Although it sometimes cause disappointments, the volatility still bring us good outcome whenever the value is rising. If we are going to keep on believing and supporting bitcoin, the value will surely grow and that is how we should control bitcoin's volatility.

The fact is that to date there are some opportunities to influence the pricing of Bitcoin. If some users throw a large amount of Bitcoin onto the market and at the same time demand is less than the Supply, then the price falls. Of course this does in order to purchase Bitcoin at a cheap price.

They are the whale, those people want to drop the price of Bitcoin with the amount of Bitcoin they have bought in the past.
They want to dump the Bitcoin price to help them control the market and margin trading with short position, then buy back with profits from short and long to make the Bitcoin price increases. Wink

swing!

I don't think so when there are still some centralized qualities among miners or other big holders such as hedge funds with Bitcoins, in fact bitcoin is slowly becoming a type of digital assets that was used for frequently by businessmen to move big funds unnoticed to another party, that's further justify big online shopping stores wouldn't integrating bitcoin payment as any formal payment facilities.

The biggest problem is not just about volatility, sometimes volatility is good for business to earn more but i think the lack of serious users, high fees and transaction is the main reason here, if Bitcoin doesn't improve in the recent year i think another crypto would took over it's position as a more community friendly crypto payment solution.
