Right now, bitcoin's volatility is still unpredictable and hard to anticipate. As for it being controlable, it would be still hard to tell for now since nobody could even predict it in the first place...

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?
For me, the volatility of the bitcoin can be controlled. Do you know what is happening to the cryptocurrency market nowadays? Most of the whales are now manipulating the cryptocurrency market.

I believe not. The bitcoin volatility could not be controlled because it is based on nothing. For example, we could evaluate a stock by comparing the industry and the competitors of the company. However, bitcoin is much bigger than other virtual currency. Its volatility depends on people trust of it and it is really hard to predict what people think.

I believe that it can not be controlled, the price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When the demand for bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the price goes down. There is only a limited number of bitcoins in circulation and new bitcoins are created at a predictable and decreasing rate, which means that the demand must follow this level of inflation to keep the price stable. Because Bitcoin is still a relatively small market compared to what it could be, it does not take large amounts of money to raise or lower the market price, and therefore, the price of a bitcoin remains very volatile.

Yes true, if bitcoin marketcap is still under $ 100 trillion then the millionaire can play with bitcoin prices, besides that of course is the number of banned from various countries so often make user panic and sell bitcoin so make volatility.

I think no, bitcoin is volatile because of some reasons and volatility it is normal in any kind of crypto currencies. As I observe the chart of bitcoin and altcoins they were all the same attitude of being volatile.

The thing that makes everyone interested in bitcoin is decentralized so that prices are due to market law, no one can control volatility so we just hope that the user keeps buying and keeping so the price keeps going up.

According to my study it can not be controlled because its totally depend upon investors and the demand of population,sometime high demand but short supply results high prices and more supply but no demand prices falls.
Volatility of Bitcoin helpful for traders to gain profit when they buy in low and sell in high.
I think most of the bitcoin movements in the market are dominated by whale investors. To control it for small investors is very difficult, you can only control your emotions so as not to fear and sell out bitcoin when it drops. Choose a potential crypto for yourself so you do not have to worry too much when it comes down to price.

Well, may be it's not clear how the system works: bitcoin doesn't have an autonomous life, its price is just a consequence of the way the people trade it.
So, what it's unstable is not bitcoin, but the trust of the people toward bitcoin.
As a new market, lot of inexperienced traders have jumped in it, and they are very sensible to any declaration, for the good o for the bad.
When there will be some natural selection, anything will be more stable.

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.

In my opinion,in main feature of Btc,volatility is most important.Any kind of online marketing,volatility is needed.It's in the process of managing online-based work.But Btc can be used in some cases,if it's managed with a little skill.Because it isn't used by any one person.Therefore,due to it's decentralization facility,it can be volatile.

Can it controlled without a board?? I think it's still difficult for a few years ahead. And a blockchain is not about centralized system. So, it's a home work to develop bitcoin and crypto for next time. I think it's one of bitcoin's weakness, for investment and currency.

Bitcoin is a decentralized crypto currency so there is no control that can be done by any party. so I think that bitcoinvolality will continue to move based on current crypto market demand if bitcoin will move at a fairly stable price due to decreased bitcoin user level and if the rate increases again then of course the bitcoin price will increase again
yeah you are absolutely right the decentralized control of bitcoin is attracting more and more people and the bases of bitcoin cannot be controlled that's why people believe in it and if volatility get controlled then it will be like gold ans sooner its fame will be over so i think volatility is best.
No, it cannot be controlled because all of us know the reason bitcoin is a decentralized currency so volatility can't be controlled. Bitcoin is not like a fiat money to have the stable nature fiat currency is controlled by the governments but bitcoin is controlled by none.

I doubt very much that crypto-currencies at the current initial, "wild" phase of their lives can be stable. If they do not collapse, then their volatility will inevitably decrease.

Even if they will not collapse, still, volatility is inevitable. Bitcoin even reached 20,000$ last year even if its price is quite high and stable already but the demand of the people pushes its market price even more.

I am believe that bitcoin always have high volatile because bitcoin is decentralized. Beside that bitcoin have small supply and people always want to buy it, so bitcoin always have high demand and no one can control bitcoin price

The volatility of Bitcoin is included in the design of the technology. The designer knows that at the beginning because it was design as decentralize digital coins and no one can control the total quantity of coins. The price of bitcoin can be controlled by those investors who owns many coins enough to make the prices change the way they wants. So the volatility will continue as long as those bulk coins will not be distributed to many people. Bitcoin price is too high to everyone. So, it's difficult to control the volatility.

From inception, Bitcoin volatility has been a natural phenomenon that can only be controlled through the effects of Demands and Supply Elasticity purchasing the use of Bitcoin for goods and services, esp on line. In it's real sense of it. no one can physically control Bitcoin volatility due to it's been decentralized as to its existence.

In order to control its volatility you will have to control the behaviour of all the people involved in the life of the coin: traders, miners etc. The fact that people buy, sell etc is what cause the volatility, so ofc if you could convince people to not sell it or buy it the coin will become completely stable. Ofc there is a practical challenge there that makes this virtually impossible, but theoretical it can be achieved.
