Well it all depends on the angle you are looking at it from but as for me the volatility has positive and negative effect on holders there is doubt

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?

The reason why high volatility is bad for cryptocurrency and not stocks is because cryptocurrencies are made with the intent of being means of paymeny hence the word currency. Stock on the other hand, such as amazon, are investments and not being exchanged for goods or services. The reason companies cite volatility as an issue is because if they accepted bitcoin as a payment for a product, the coins might be worth less a day after they accepted them.
A good trader will capitalize on the volatility nature of bitcoin and buys when the price is low sells when the price is high and one of the aim of a trader is to make consistent profits, volatility of the price is main driving force of a market without it the market becomes slow, ranges and consolidates without trending thus the market becomes unprofitable.
Volatility is one characteristics of cryto coins, Good thing we able to experience the rise and fall of crypto's because this are the result of buy and sale method, Many investor's pumps and dump the coin when they find good opportunity from it.
I do not think we should understand that bitcoin is decentralized so nobody can control or intervene, all the price is purely from market needs because it is very difficult for someone to control the price when the current marketcap is more than $ 200 billion.
For day traders and short-term investors, volatility presents an opportunity for making profits. By correctly predicting the short-term trends in Bitcoin, traders can make substantial profits; much more than investors who have a buy-and-hold strategy. Being volatility price of bitcoin is not a bad thing, and a lot people use this opportunity to buy the bitcoin in a low price.

I think its not. Being volatile is giving other investors to invest in a low prcie so that they can buy bitcoin in a lower price and role the mone they have to earn profit. Volatile is part of economic status. The ups and down just like i used to example the stocks market. The graph is not stable at all you can see the movements of the stocks.

Personally, I think it brings both good and bad directions because first, I very much agree that the market needs volatility to help investors make more money and get the opportunity to buy bitcoin, no volatility, the market will become bleak and soon disappear. However, the volatility too fast and large also bring bad effects for investors when they are not prepared mentally, they buy at high prices and their money is frozen, they can not do anything until the time of recovery, ignoring the many opportunities to make money No, I think Bitcoin volatility is not a bad thing, it is an opportunity for everyone. Early adopters of the Bitcoin market want the price to rise all the time, those who want to enter later expect the price to drop be bought. Speculations are constantly running, money markets are such that it is difficult for everyone to be satisfied at the same time.
No There is nothing bad about the bitcoin volatile. Bitcoin is a currency It is variable. If everything was permanent, then nobody would understand the need for stability. Bitcoin is temporary, there is nothing to be surprised about. Bitcoin's price is different for one time, it is a normal rule

Volatility is regular in the crypto, and it is not a bad thing. Unstable of the value of the bitcoin also a regular occurrence went the price drop. I think the new opportunity to others to stat on investing on the bitcoin and for me this only a struggle that we need to face it and to handle it properly. Being the volatility of bitcoin is excellent in my view because without the volatility some people will be concerned about the bitcoins.

Bitcoin prices are decreasing when you can catch get positive benefits from this. But if you are only a seller and an employee who depends on the highest possible value of bitcoin, you may face losses. Overall, I can say that bitcoin's unrest is completely dependent on the person and there are two major effects of bitcoin fluctuations, which are positive and negative, and the advantages and advantages
Volatility is not a bad thing because this is the real status in the market, the rise and fall encourage investor to sell and buy bitcoin in low price. I
If experts are right, one of bitcoin's prevailing characteristics could also be its biggest problem – a fixed supply that helps to send prices yo-yoing. They say that cryptocurrencies with flexible supply would help to avoid scaring everyday users away.
Even in bitcoin's digital universe, the same basic economic rules apply, with price being determined by supply and demand. Bitcoin's algorithm makes the supply of bitcoins predictable, with a constant stream of bitcoins distributed via block rewards that halve at a preset rate. This leaves demand to fluctuate.

I don't think so because that's the nature of bitcoin. It's volatility it depends on the market and the investors as well, so i don't think it's a bad thing and considered it a good sign. It may looked bad to other people but not on my point of view.

No volatility on the marketplace is not bad , but it can affect both negative and positive ways. The negative effects of having a volatility price it can affect the whales or the big banks and it may result to decrease the price and the positive is some users that wanted to buy bitcoin at the lowest price they tend to buy. And yes it result the bitcoin not just bitcoin but the whole marketplace.
So yes it can affect both negative and positive.
So yes it can affect both negative and positive.
I think yes, bitcoin should volatility shows how much big whales can influence its price and giving heart attack to newbies. But this is what we pray for in a decentralized system it is not possible to stop tidal waves of volatility as it also helps to gain more users to this market. Hence, where this volatility has few drawbacks it also have some advantages also like giving profit on unexpected coin and so on.

There is actually a positive and negative sides of this and the positive side is that people take advantage of it to make a lot of money but others lose money as well if they are not careful but in general, the volatility of bitcoins is bad because it prevents major companies and retailers from using it as a means of payment which would have boosted BTC considerably. 
I think not, for those who are trading, of course, volatility is the most profitable thing, they can get a profit even though the price goes down, and there is an advantage if the price goes down because it gives everyone a chance to buy so do not think too late.
