Yeah, it is the volatility nature of Bitcoin that made it rise massively to $23K some few months ago. This is a good property of Bitcoin as it makes the market demand goes up and create more market niche for the crypto world. Let's appreciate the good side of the volatility nature for once.

I have always been asking myself the same question on why Bitcoin is so volatile. I compared it to Ethereum which is the second best Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin Cash. I came to notice something, and that is, despite Ethereum being steps ahead of Bitcoin Cash in the market and having a huge market cap, Bitcoin Cash was still more volatile than it. I just concluded that the reason Bitcoin itself was very volatile is because there are lots of demand for it and the supply rate is low. But after reading this article, I’m a little bit confused.

One factor that makes bitcoin volatile are the investors who decided to cash out their investment in the reason of they want to get some of their losses and some are because they are contented of the amount or emergency purposes.

It is because of the investors we are the ones who are making it volatile,
We are the one who is responsible for the price of the crypto currencies because we are the ones who are investing in it and it depends on the demand.

The price of the market is always depending on the supply and demand of every coin so you can always expect the market to be unpredictable, another thing is that, the value of other cryptocurrency is also based on bitcoins so there will be different prices every time.

bitcoin is unstable because there is no regulator as soon as it appears and these movements have already begun we will see some stability , but my opinion this will not happen soon
I have even come across people who told that there was time when they had the chance to buy bitcoin free of cost. Then there was a time when bitcoin was only 12 dollars’ worth. But with the increasing interest of investors and fame it got from millionaires, bitcoin started growing up at amazing rate. The reason was its limited supply and very high demand. Big investors prefer this coin over others. All is well that ends well and this fluctuation is damn adorable.
Of course, if you have the means to buy cheaper coins, as well as cheap Bitcoin, then today you will be lucky. At least I see that Bitcoin will rise in price and it means that the profit will be enormous.
i think so, indeed with high volatile this can utilized to gain a great advantage. at the moment btc price is very low so it's a good time to buy it, so that later we will get big profit

You know what even if you will not read that article you could still explain in simple things on why bitcoin is so volatile in terms or its market price. The market price for bitcoin are moving constantly and no once could pin down the exact amount or value of bitcoin. We can only describe the bitcoin market price but not the exact value. Why does this happen? In simple explanation bitcoin has a lot of investors. As its demand increases its market price also increases. So everytime an investors around the world invest in bitcoin it adds up to the demand and thus market price for bitcoin move. And after a certain period of time another investor also will going to sell the bitcoin holdings especially if that someone has already the profit to earn bitcoin. So bitcoin demand will decrease so as the bitcoin market price. This the main reason why bitcoin market price value is volatile.

Normally, bitcoin price is volatile because it is dependent on the supply which is limited and demand which are increasing.

Well, there are multiple contributory factors to note. In conventional markets, a volatility index is used to scale volatility. However, bitcoin is still much too primitive to have its own generally applicable index. Below are some contributors of the volatility of the bitcoin price.

1.Negative Publicity.
2.Perceived Value Also Fluctuates.
3.Highly Variable Perspectives Concerning Store Value and Method of Value for Bitcoin (BTC).
4.Tiny Option Value to Large Holders of the Currency.
5.Security Breaches Trigger Reactions from Investors.

I think we are in a period of uncertainty just like during the early days of the internet where there were many skeptics and when its future was uncertain. The world will adapt to it sooner or later imo.
This is what i think too..Anything that is new and has a high potential to overcome the conventional ways is called CHANGE and people more often than not will have a hard time to accept or cope up because they get used of the things they usually do Or atmost for the lack of Knowledge about this new advancement. But soon enough with the right media exposure and we as human being who are in constant of finding ways to make life more better for living must help to spread the importance and how efficient the use of bitcoin. Nowadays in our advance technology and with the internet it is much better to do transactions using bitcoin.

Volatility of bitcoin has developed due to the dearth of market knowledge amongst it's investors. People investing in bitcoin for a quick cash generally tend to get swayed by market emotions and overambitious claims by the champions of the crypto currency.
The complexity of Blockchain and the esoteric manner in which the currency operates makes it a tough study, this leads to people investing mostly on the basis of little know ledge and hearsay. As a result the market experiences intermittent patterns of sharp rise and fall, this leads to volatility.
Agree with you bitcoin is volatile and it does not have fixed value because in market bitcoin price use to change because of change in market value, people are developing trust for bitcoin which is making bitcoin noticeably high now. Bitcoin is very easy to understand now as it is no more complicated and no more risky, people in market make blockchain promoted and well used currency,  with every moth the ratio of investment and speculation decide the value and the price of bitcoin, so bitcoin use to increase and decrease which creates twist in bitcoin community every months.

Actually we already experienced it no need to mention but yes sad to say it is now in the dump situation where all of us are already lose pur profit Sad
No it is no need to say no to bitcoin in any situation, as if it is time to dump in price then it is important to hold your bitcoin, most of time people buy bitcoin at time of dump price, red market means price is going to be low but at the time of green in market you can sell to have profit, no body want lose because price get high once again when it get down, we will have to wait for price of bitcoin to be high, take the benefit of bitcoin volatility no need to sell it, hold it and be patient.

Thanks for sharing such a kind article. I would like to add that bitcoin volatile movement is due to many factors and some of them are like a huge increase in the participation number and because of which the demand and supply behavior changes. The popularity of the bitcoin is also another reason because of which thousands of new traders enter this crypto market daily and because of all these reasons the volatility of the bitcoin is increasing with rapid speed. I am expecting to increase more in upcoming months.
I think that the increase in the price of bitcoin depends on the admission and advertising. Some companies have Bitcoin reserves, these companies keep these Bitcoins as a payment method, but there are customers who do not use Bitcoin as a payment method. For this reason, these companies are selling Bitcoin in their hands, only 5k Bitcoin has been sold on a stock exchange today.

Not really I read it and it is the same old argument, saying that bitcoin does not have value at all, but maybe we are all imagining the huge amount of money invested by the miners to mine bitcoin and the technology behind bitcoin which solved several problems that until that point were not solved, the volatility comes from mainly two factors the uneven demand for bitcoin and its limited supply.

The sad truth is, Bitcoin is volatile because it doesn't have real use in the economy as a currency with which people buy things and pay for services. Uneven demand that you talk about is a straightforward consequence of that. If Bitcoin was used as a means of payment, the demand for it would soon stabilize relative to the amount of goods and the volume of services offered for it. But because the vast majority of demand comes from plain speculation, it is prone to wildest fluctuations leading to extreme volatility.

You are right...In additional,Today despite the fact that bitcoin has a developing nature we don't have enaugh grounds to use it for buying goods in real life and to use for our special purposes,Of course it doesn't mean that bitcoin is not first in its work but we need more decisions from business makers and tendences,Less fees and other supporting factors to integrate it in our society and I hope it will be very soon.Anyway I think that bitcoin tendences from different private sectors are the main factor in this case because there will be more competitive environment,therefore price will be much more than today.

You know Bitcoin is one currecny which can give you eronmous profit. Now how that is possible ? This is only possible because of the volatile  nature of the bitcoins which makes it most profitable. This volatilty also have a negative side that in case of loss, the loss will also be high.
