it would be wise if we risked capital not at every moment. However, I have seen a lot of evidence of payments and money they receive from investments, crypto is also a very risky investment, but that sometimes becomes a challenge for investing. it's true that there are no real rewards here.

True, but it is same for stocks, bonds, commodities and any other market where speculation drives the price. Organic growth is a rule that will happen always with bitcoin but there will be times when the prices will fall. Its not something to worry about but a time to buy more coins for yourself. Its better not to look for other coins to put your money in in order to get rich quickly because that does not happen.

Dont narrow your focus to only bounties. There are many other ways to getting coins too. The biggest one being simply buying them.

Fluctuation can be a good risk and opportunity, depending on how you look at it. if you see it as an opportunity then you can certainly take advantage of fluctuations as an opportunity to make a profit, because there are many opportunities from price fluctuations that occur in the market. but if you see it as a risk, then you will be very scared and panicked when bearish or falling prices occur.

It is long term investors that usually do not see any positivity in fluctuation of market because they are there to just watch the market to continue growing and the only time they can get benefit is when the market really increases to a particular percentage, but most traders are the ones that would really pick interest in fluctuation because those fluctuations you mentioned is actually what could make someone grow his coin from $100 to $5000, even if we had said he leverage, but leveraging would not have even paid or benefit him if there was no fluctuations.

I could remember that as a trader, when bitcoin was fluctuation between $9k and $12k then, it had that fluctuation severally and with the little I was able to grab, at least it got me about $2000.

Volatility is the main reason why most investors and traders do lurk on here.I do even had a friend which is a forex and stocks trader but still he do end up on trading with crypto due to high volatility and high probability on making good or high profit which cant really be equaled or can be gained thru stocks and forex but somehow
when it comes to risk then its an another different story.Lots of investors being wrecked when the market tends to have a u-turn which almost hit up themselves into the ground.For long term aspects on Bitcoin is capable or somewhat be worthy to invest on for future years to come.We have seen how big is the community support of BTC /Fluctuation will always be here because if this feature or characteristics isnt present then im pretty sure that this market wont really be nested in by investors and believers.

Volatility is not a risk for investors and traders, it's been normal to the market to be volatile because of speculation in the future.
The price could move significantly even in a minute, and that has been proven many times, as an investor, you accept its nature and focus on its potential in the future, hold the crypto you invested and wait for the right timing to sell.

People in the past were able to earn a decent profit during last bull run, we could also do the same if we buy now and just hold until the next bull run will come. It's not easy but we are experiencing the same journey in the past where things are still uncertain, but because they hold, they were successful in reaching their goal.

It's been a while since I risked my asset during bearish days of Bitcoin back in the day. I think volatility is the risk itself in cryptocurrency. At the time you buy whatever coins you decided to invest, the volatility will tell the story of how worthy did your purchase of coins become.
Volatility won't be a risk if the price is such in an obvious price range that you would see it as the best time to buy.

Fluctuation can be a good risk and opportunity, depending on how you look at it. if you see it as an opportunity then you can certainly take advantage of fluctuations as an opportunity to make a profit, because there are many opportunities from price fluctuations that occur in the market. but if you see it as a risk, then you will be very scared and panicked when bearish or falling prices occur.

therefore before making a transaction we must calculate risk and rewards, and therefore there will be profit and cutlos targets, where the area we have drawn before in the framework of the market. each person will place different risks and rewards, depending on the respective analysis. and I think this is the art of trading

Oh, guys, if you want to read instead of listening, check out the Medium channel of Superorder team. The company writes nice articles about crypto trading, psychology, analysis, top coins, and so on. A good place to find some interesting ideas for your trading.

I can barely find a couple of minutes to scroll through the weel's headlines, much less find the time to go through nice articles.

I'm a freelancer mostly and writing has always been my business, so I won't knock any attempt to create more content in the space but I feel like the industry still lacks storytelling. Which is what I want my writing to focus on.

In that respect, I don't mind the kind of stuff BBC puts out but if this is the reaction on this forum, I wonder if I on the wrong track.

Are people really just interested in trading articles and trending stuff? Stories not interesting no more?

BBC recently did a interview around the volatility of cryptocurrencies. I think we are still so early in this industry but I would love to know your thoughts about where we are going and how you think the landscape will change.

People in the podcast include:

Marc Warne, Founder, Bittylicious
Jemima Kelly, reporter, FT Alphaville
Dave Jevans, CEO, CipherTrace

You know that taking risk sometimes is good in crypto because some investor or traders get the opportunity to take a profit.But of course its depend to their ability.So i think cryptocians choosing risk sometimes because they know what will be the reward after.

if enter a lot of money in the crypto market, I believe that the volatility will not be very high as it is today, at least we will not see high increases and followed by very large falls

I'm visual guy , if only i have to put headset on my ears i prefer listening to my jazz and blues playlist rather than listening to some random podcast talking about crypto lol.

Don't you know that people at bbc telling a fish story? Especially when it comes to cryptocurrency, i don't know why they do that. But it seems they realized it's a hot topic these days .. this podcast is beat the air.

What's more bad about these crypto podcasts is that they won't tell you anything constructive and randomly predict the upcoming movement of bitcoin and altcoins which will be wrong in most of the cases.

Since crypto is hot topic, we see many useless podcasts, trading signals groups and price predictions you tube channels running by those who do not have sufficient information about crypto and trading.

Don't you know that most of the time because of the volatility, all traders can able to get profit whether small or big.
Because since the market was unpredictable there are times that the market are in bearish or bull run, now either of these two
both can give an opportunity for us to get profit in the future.

Investing in cryptocurrency may have a high risk but on the other hand it is also a potential investment. Technology is definitely inevitable by anyone and cryptocurrency is the fastest and cheapest payment technology to date. But on the other hand there is a negative side to the growth of the cryptocurrency market, which is the increasing number of altcoins that appear without a clear product and this will make investor confidence decrease

Every investors have different views on volatility,but for me, I'll continue to believe that there's nothing I can do with price volatility since that's been normal in the market, without volatility, we won't be able to attract investors, because they would not find that opportunity to buy or sell depending on the timing of the situation.

Volatility has always been with the crypto market. For anyone venturing into cryptocurrencies is very aware of the issues that surrounds the fluctuations that comes with one's holdings. Accessing the benefits and possible risks is an individual process as it depends on various factors. From my observation, it depends on how an individual would invest his/her funds.

I don't think the volatility of bitcoin is something that will stop soon not until there is mass adoption of bitcoin before one can be talking of stable bitcoin market value and possibly less risky for business owner who will now start accepting bitcoin and crypto currency in general as a means of exchange for goods and services.

There is no sign that it will stop, the market is not so stable, it can easily move with the FUD and FOMO, so unless this will not be eliminate, volatility will remain. For me, we should not worry about that volatility and instead let's accept it as a norms for crypto, there's a solution already for volatility, we have stable coins for that, and if this Libra project will succeed, this would help more as it's more popular.

BTC will continue to serve us, pure users, traders, and investors, because without volatility, it will not be attractive for traders.

Those trader better get used to not seeing that volatility in future because things will become tighter the moment bitcoin is becoming very scarce and limited, and most people you see will want to just hold their coins and not willing to sell, while we have less mined coin.

Bitcoin has more important role to play on the society than the trading and investment that we have limit it to and when that times coin that bitcoin will really assume its full payment position, then don’t expect much volatility for trades, because bitcoin will only be used more for payment of good and serves and to trade with it will be difficult because how much will you have to be able to trade 1 btc, and who would want to easily sell to you at the price you are requesting for when miners can no longer help also.

It's not all about gaining money from it.
I know gaining is what most of Bitcoin/all cryptocurrencies investor looks out for when investing in it, but at the end, it's still not about the money.
The risk and gain there should be if world authorities don't make it 'dense' for Bitcoin investors/onwers in the future. At the same time if it will be 'spendable' in the future.

It is profitable here because we are the type of people who got in early, people who got in at around 20 thousand dollars is not as lucky as us and they are still waiting for it. I mean even people who got in later might have made some money because we moved beyond 10 thousand dollars many times, the only people who have lost is the people who bought above 10 thousand dollars at any time. But, profits are truly better than any other place because we are volatile and that volatility causes us to have so much more chance to make a profit, it also creates chances to lose as well but if you are lucky enough there is nowhere in the world where you can make as much money as you would normally make in crypto world, here is the real place where you make a ton of money.

I bought above 10K too recently out of fomo, but I still have my gains in the sense that I have some investment that I made when the value was still like $4000 which presently, I am still keeping till bitcoin bull run starts and I see my coin grow from that $4000 to $100,000, this particular investment is tied for a really long time.

I mean till bitcoin fully develops even if it takes 10 years, then I still have another investment I am using for short term which I sold half of it when bitcoin was $13k, I bought that around $3k, but the one I bought around $13k is what I am still presently loosing on, but I know that very soon, there will be a rebound and I will start making profit on that one when the price of bitcoin falls back above $15000 which would have been greater than what I bought.
