Topic: Why Bitcoin Is So Volatile (Read 1298 times)
Nope just a waste of time reading,i wish i dont give such time reading this nonsense though i have heard this from a friend and try to check for my self and surprisingly,nothings new another argument that putting bitcoin in badshape..
Bitcoin is worthy in every single matter,and a really place to give trust
The whole cryptocurrency is quite volatile, then it depends on the change in the balance of supply and demand.
Speculation and rumors also wreak havoc as well. Lack of regulation, while not necessarily a bad thing in itself, also drives fear and concern which can create a spiraling effect.
Heaven knows, I let it worked its way, its impossible to understamd btcs LOL
Honestly, I don't know what is the exactly reason on why bitcoin is volatile. The volatility of Bitcoin for me it's a normal and this I know on why, it's because of supply and demand.
Wow, what the hell is that suppose to mean ? I think the most basic answer is because the Bitcoin market is actually really small. Hahaha, I guess you misunderstand something. It’s also almost completely unregulated. Or am I the only one who does not know it. A market being small means that it’s subject to wild fluctuations when people buy or sell large amounts of BTC. Maybe you are right. Bitcoin is so volatile because of its limited quantity when compared to other fiat currencies but the volatility rate keeps increasing with the bitcoin price rise so we never can have stable value with the bitcoin. But that is the purpose of btc creation. 
I think the reason goes to the decentralized system, some big fishes are playing this type of role and they are always making this market volatile. on the other hand, Limited supply would be a great reason for this issue. But For me, acceptability around the world is the main culprit for this issue.
Bitcoin is volatile because there is a limited supply only and it is just 21 million bitcoins. It is also difficult to mine bitcoins because as far as I know it is divided into two after 4 consecutive years. I think that is the reason behind its volatility. Its price goes up when there is a great demand but the price becomes lower if the demand will goes down. It is a matter of scarce resources.
yes, thats right. there is a limited suplly of bitcoin. it can affect the bitcoin is so volatile.
Its pretty obvious. Having a very high price also comes a very high chance of fluctuation in its price, thus volatility. It will also depend on the demand, if there's a low demand then it will tend to have a lower price than expected, and if does have a higher demand then the price comes along.
For me bitcoin was so volatile because of supply and demand section that investors and holders that if they sell their crypto coins the movement qill goes up and down.

Bitcoin is volatile simply because the demand changes from time to time. People tend to stop holding and just dropping, Bitcoin's value is all dependent on the people's decision. No one has the full control over Bitcoin's price, its decentralized which means it has no one who intervene over it. The value may change drastically when whales intervene, the actions of whales actually cause sudden but short term changes in values.
in some situations the price of Bitcoin is not at all dependent on market demand, as it has already been observed more than once when the supply and demand were at the same level, but the price had huge fluctuations.Bitcoin is volatile simply because the demand changes from time to time.

Bitcoin is unstable because it is not provided with anything and there is no body that regulates its price, as Central Banks do with national money. Since bitcoin is decentralized, volatility will seem to be inherent in it always. And, I think, volatility with the growth of the price of the bit is going to increase.
Governments indicate volatility to be one among the negative factor and fluctuate the market.
It only causes a negative feel because of the fact that they are not being regulated, its market value can be manipulated by those people who are in capable to transact at a higher volume. Also, another reason why the government warns people to take precautions is because of Bitcoin being digital, which is a clear sign that it may only be temporary as no physical sign to support that it will not fluctuate gradually, and the fact that it can be a tool for money laundering schemes.
I don't buy that argument that Bitcoin is volatile because it has no intrinsic value to be backed upon. Nothing is backed by anything substantive! Fiat is backed by the monopoly power of the state, gold is backed by the social capital given to it. If Bitcoin's lack of physical asset backing was a problem, all currencies would be volatile.
Bitcoins volatility is not new in financial history. Earlier forms of currency like tobacco used in the early American colonies were much more volatile. Bitcoin's instability is just a demonstration of the market. Hype led to speculators buying up the supply, and scares by regulators and panic sellers caused price drops.
There is nothing intrinsic in Bitcoin, besides maybe slow and expensive transactions coming to the fore, that makes it volatile. It is a commodity, and like any commodity, is a slave to market forces - let it be euphoria or panic.

For me i think many of us invest bitcoin in a short term investments that bitcoin may go down and rise instantly. For me it's best for all of us and bitcoin itself if we hold our coins not to sell them right away in just little rise of price at the market. We should trust bitcoin because that's what i do and bitcoin never fails thru patience.
