But less volatility will be a disadvantage for those who are looking at it as an investment, without volatility, we would not be able to make a profit. We are on two sides in this market. One side that sees bitcoin as a payment method wants it to be a currency, so they don't like the volatility of bitcoin, one side sees bitcoin as an investment, and volatility is what they are looking for. I used to be a forex trader, and I was attracted to bitcoin because of its volatility, it made me more money than forex.
It's not so, you confuse trading and investing: of course traders like volatility as it gives an opportunity to play with waves, but investors prefer long term income and stability. If you want to keep your savings for using them when you want you'll prefer a deflationary asset with low volatility as it will be more costly in the future at any time and not at the bull's top only. So we'll just see how one investors will replace another ones. And those ones who like volatility the most will just look for another asset to play with, they are not fond of bitcoin as for bitcoin. And if you look at the charts you can see that bitcoin is losing volatility with time, it is natural and will go on the same way.
I have to say, as a long term investor myself, I do not really care about the volatility. It wouldn't matter to me if the price was 60k today, like suddenly it moved up, it wouldn't really matter. Since I am going to hold no matter what the price is, and ı am going to be around in 10+ years, that means it doesn't matter what the price is today, it could be 10k or it could be 100k and I would still not consider that as any issue at all, and wouldn't care.
Of course not all long term investors are like me, some may prefer stability and less volatility, but I am not one of those guys, I am going to hold for many years, so how it moves right now doesn't really matter to me.
