Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

Huh

In my own opinion, I think bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing. It is the reason why bitcoin became famous to us. Because of its volatility, its price changes from time to time. It can either increase or decrease. If it decrease, people will tend to buy and invest to it, and if it increase, people will sell their bitcoin and gain profit.

I agree with you (which is the less popular belief unfortunately) that the more volatility there is the more profits there are to be made. The majority of people believe the opposite if it's too volatile it's too risky to invest in. That's why I believe this ICO is on to something by focusing on attracting the masses with the 1st arbitrage exchange leveling the price volatility that keeps so many scared people out of the market.

You know without this bitcoin won't be as much popular as it is today, without it holding or trading wouldn't matter anymore so without it bitcoin and whole crypto won't be in the same position which they are nowadays.

That volatility occurrence in bitcoin is not a bad thing and that's a normal character of it as a cryptocurrency. So, nothing to worry about it. It is only part of the rapid development of bitcoin in the economy though sometimes the falls may affect us due to a minimal amount that has been dumping from a short period of time. If only there is an economic formula for the volatility over investors in an exact population with it perhaps, the volatility will be monitored gradually.

You can not really say that bitcoin's volatility is a bad thing. Maybe sometimes you can say that it can cause bad things to you whenever the value is falling and you got a lot in your pocket. Most of the time, bitcoin's volatility is what causes you to recieve higher profits and you should be thankful with it. You can gain a lot of benefits from bitcoin's volatility, you just need to know how to manipulate it properly.

Bitcoin volatility is not bad, it just represents the supply and demand at the market. If many people buys bitcoin the lesser the supply left, and the lesser supply the higher bitcoin value price will be at the market.

Agree to your point and I will like to add that within this volatility or I will say in the fluctuations a person can earn a good amount of profit. As these type of fluctuations are wanted by the expert traders who go to buy and sell at different stages of the price and they earn when the price recover to an expected level. By the way if you are not much expert in trade then you have to hold your money in Bitcoin and do not need to fear from these fluctuations as if the price of Bitcoin will start to increase then it will take no time and it has happened to many people who converted their Bitcoin to fiat and then on the next day they found the price too much high and then regret their selling.

Volatility in bitcoin market is the spice that make bitcoin very Sweet volatility is the fyn in bitcoin and the secret of bitcoin decentralization, if bitcoin is not volatile then there is no decentralization in the cryptocurrencies world at all and digital currency will be worthless and no sense of investment in it at all. There will be fix price and new investors will not be encourage to invest in it since there will be no much profit.

There is no connection between the decentralization and the price volatility.Still bitcoin will be decentralized even if the value is zero.

But the price volatility is the good thing for the traders but the investors are attracted by the price growth rate not by the volatility.

Yes it is really a bad thing for the bitcoin because it was found to be used as a currency so it need to have a stable value then only people will start use bitcoin as the form of payment,but most of the people using bitcoin to make money from its speculative nature it is good for the crypto currency traders.So it is good for the traders and bad for the merchants so they will never accept bitcoin as a currency until it have stable value.

It can either be a good thing or not. It just depend on how an investor or user will look at it. How? Bitcoin is volatile so it means that there is a moment for the pump as well as the dump. You can obviously earn profit from that by investing when the price is low and selling when it is rising. It can be a bad thing on the other side if you will worry whenever its market price is falling.

Well the volatility of bitcoin is only becoming an advantage when a person has already have bitcoins with them. The volatility is a good thing because it is becoming the source of income of holders, investors and traders. The volatility of bitcoin is also a great characteristic of it because, without it, only a few people will be interested with buying bitcoins. I personally, think that the volatility is a great thing because it is my number 1 source of information whether or not should I buy.

To some people that is disadvantage especially when they are just holding bitcoin and just waiting for the price to increase and an advantage to another person who were also waiting for the price to go down before they will buy bitcoin for them to invest, it really depends on the person.

Depending on each situation, volatility of Bitcoin can become a good thing or bad thing, with people that have the experience and acumen in the short-term transactions, it really is a good thing when they can take advantage of the volatility to optimize profit, and this will be bad for people who do not have too much experience, they just choose to hold as you say. Personally, I feel that volatility is a good thing, I even like it because if we know how to fully exploit the volatility, we will very quickly become rich

Bitcoin low volatility is a bad thing for the bounty hunters that has no saving for the future. Because if they hold their coins they dont have a budget for their daily needs. Some investors don't want low price because they don't have income during the time of price decrease. They say it's too wasteful for the time passing by have no profit. All they want is to gain at all time.

Volatility is normal in the cryptomarket and besides it is not a bad thing. Bitcoin value may dump or pump inshort it is unstable. As an investor and bitcoiner we must be wise to avoid losses. When the value of bitcoin dump then hold your altcoins and bitcoin, buy as well. When the value goes up thats the time you may sell your bitcoin and altcoins.

Instability is to some degree great and bad.Volatile-obligated to change quickly and eccentrically, particularly for the more regrettable. so being merchant and financial specialist of bitcoin, I really apprehensive that may my venture will vanish like air pockets and no ROI if the cost goes down and no incentive by any means. some way or another, the other route around is great if the cost goes up and consistently expanding then this is a decent effect of my benefit and I would contribute progressively and purchase bitcoin.
