For some users they think of it as a bad thing because their money in bitcoin could decrease ,
But I think it is part of what we want in bitcoin and what gets our attention if the price of bitcoin is stable some of us wouldn't be here,
Some of the investors wouldn't invest in it because they would think that they wouldn't get some profit through it.

Rightly pointed out that volatility is good thing to check the patience, but here I just to make the comment that the volatility of bitcoin is not too much as compared to other traded currencies, because we have seen that bitcoin slowly raised to $19k last year and after that it not only stayed that limit for some time but on the way back, it didn’t drop suddenly. So talking about the volatility, I think its not that a big problem once we talking about the bitcoin.

Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing but when it comes to the usage of it as a payment system, we expect the same value of it for the long term to continue using it as a payment system on a regular basis. However, since bitcoin is in the development phase, it would not be a wise idea to expect stability from it at least for next 5 to 10 years but still, volatility doesn't make it useless.

volatility is the best thing which bring a lot of money to the investor court and i think bitcoin still has a lot to come in future and its volatility will take it to the higher values so for me bitcoin volatility is best thing and yeah you are saying right that volatility will decrease as the values will grower higher.

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 Huh Huh

First of all volatility in bitcoin is not bad at all the ups and down trend in bitcoin is an opportunity either for the buyer or the seller when it in its peak the person who has it will tend sale or to in cash his coin. And when its low it is the your time to buy so its not totally a bad thing.

For me its a bad thing. I know that its hard to predict the value of bitcoin. But because of it high volatility its more harder now. And some people are afraid to invest because bitcoin is so volatile.

Bitcoin volatility is not a very bad thing. Actually the volatile nature of bitcoin is what have earned bitcoin so much value till date. If bitcoij was not this vokatile and speculative, it would have been like any other paper money with some value which is allmost permanent and not many people woukd be this interested in bitcoins.

Its the volatile nature that creates this whole atmosphere of uncertainity where in traders could make short term profit that are really impressive for a digital currency. The volatility of bitcoins create the sense of unsurety of weather the prices will rise or fall, creating a feeling similar to gambling. Wherein people tend to linger around more than often.

In the case of bitcoin volleyball is not a bad thing because of the nature that occurs in bitcoin so I think bad or not, it depends on the person actually utilizing the bitcoin price fluctuations. In my opinion, bitcoin volality would be a bad thing if someone took advantage of the bitcoin price for the crime aspect.

I think you are right that is why his bitcoin is bad in the eyes of the law. Currently there are people who use bitcoin because bad crime bitcoin does not mean not good there are many positive things that can be done with bitcoin without having to use it for crime. Therefore volatility is not bad in my opinion as long as there are many markets that like it.

Volatile isn't bad or evil it is because some participants in the market can't stomach such moves and as a result you see these bigger companies trying to appease the small guy. With high volatility comes great risk but also comes great rewards. That is why some players like this and some participants don't like this. Hence also why I think less big sharks got into Bitcoin at the beginning because of this. Wait until the futures market comes out in a week a lot more sharks are going to jump on board and it isn't because Bitcoin wasn't always a good asset it is because they can now have multiple ways to play the market which is what the big guys like.

Bitcoin has been fluctuating for a very long time, but that is a very reasonable thing in the currency market. In my country, there are a lot of Bitcoin followers, but besides that, there are a lot of investors. Like Bitcoins and virtual currencies, many investors only participate in the stock market, but regarding virtual money, they say there are too many risks due to not attending.

Anyhow eventhough it's said to be a bad thing, it has become a fixity or characteristic of bitcoin/crypto and we must really be able to adapting with it, in the price movements that's difficult to predict.
Well i think for the people who are have a long been closer to bitcoin/crypto.. that's a natural thing.

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 traditional economics and finance, we usually assume people to be "risk adverse", which means disliking volatility. However, this is not necessary. People can also be "risk neutral" or "risk loving". A risk lover will probably like the volatility of bitcoin.

And the evidence that risk-lovers will get better success and wealth than those who do not dare to take risks, in bitcoin investment takes courage because the bitcoin volatility is very high, the price can rise hundreds or even thousands of percent in a year and the future trend of bitcoin will continue to improve.

Volatility of bitcoin does not always imply negative effect on investors and in trading. In fact, if we view it the other way, when price dumps some people take it as an opportunity to buy at dip and hold it till they get the most profitable price for them, in that way, they make the best profit out of holding. However, due to volatility and if you purchase at a high price, never panic sell as it will doom you to loosing your money. As its very mature, bitcoin is highly volatile which means price can go to the highest unexpected value as well as fall down, guarding the price from time to time is one of the key to win in this type of investment.

They are somehow good and bad. Because not always they are increasing being volatile means that their value will not be stable and will always depends their proce according to the activity of all the people using those coin. So if they go increase and you have buy them in a lower price then winning a lot of money of course that would be a good thing for you but if you have bought it in a particular price and then they slowly go to a huge downfall you will lose a lot and thats bad

Bitcoin is like a stocks in a market that changes its status every now and then. Votality of bitcoin is not a bad thing because its giving people a chance to invest or buy bitcoin on its lowest rates. After a few hours or days your investment will double up even going triple because the rates is crazy going up. Thats the good thing of being votality, its giving us a chance to invest at the right price.
