Topic: Why Bitcoin is volatile and will it progress in future like in stable way (Read 619 times)

If Bitcoin where not volatile I don't think you would have interest to invest in it. The reason why you want to invest in Bitcoin is not far from the same volatility.

If you say so then Bitcoin is the best  asset or place to invest and hope for a greater return in the future.
All you just need is to start first.

Why Bitcoin is mostly volatile is because of  demand and supply. The more people aquire Bitcoin and stack the more they create scarcity and demand becomes higher this makes Bitcoin becomes volatile.

Regarding volatility, I think the "adoption by big money" is a double-edged sword.

I think you're correct that in general this institutional adoption can make price movements more "costly". But on the other hand, new actors with lots of capital are entering the space, and these actors can both move the price to the upside and to the downside.

IMO if "Big Money" continues to mainly use Bitcoin as a speculative tool, with very similar movements (buy/sell actions, options etc.) to retail investors' "hoard and sell" patterns, the volatility won't change that much due to their action alone. If they instead chose increasingly strategies like "buy the dip" or "take profit in excessive FOMO phases", then volatility could lower.

I don't know if there are studies about that matter after the spot ETF introduction in early 2024. It would be interesting if there are some Regarding volatility, it is higher than 2023 since the ETFs' introduction, but on the other hand 2023 was still a "crypto winter to early bull" phase, which weren't too volatile in the past, too. So it is possible that the relatively low volatility in the mid- to late (?) bull market of 2024-25 is a sign that the ETFs indeed attracted capital with a different investment pattern.

I think however @satscraper's post is accurate: if Bitcoin was accepted as cash more widely, this would decrease volatility (even if prices were still calculated in US dollars).

Plus the adoption from bigger guys and big capital. It should work towards the fact that BTC will become so big that only as big amount of SM would be able to push its price as we see today and the previous cycles (the change in price was even bigger then).

In my view BTC volatility is due to the fact that the most relevant operation with it are performed on various  exchanges i.e. CEX, DEX, OTC. When BTC will  escape from the bounds set by speculative spirit which  prevails on those exchanges and meet routine day-to-day needs of the common people ^{let's say it will be excepted at every POS terminal at every shop} it become more or less stable.

Of course many people like Bitcoin for their upside volatility. But how many of us like the deep crashes and bear markets we regularly experience? (Not everybody is an experienced short seller ...)

And you're wrong about the evolution of Bitcoin's volatility. The medium to long term trend is going downwards and quite stable below the 2,5% mark for 60 days, since 2023, and most of the time even values below 2% were registered.


Source: Bitbo

While there were already some weeks with 60-day volatility around 1% in 2016, spikes of 3-4% and above always came quite soon. So the current low-volatility period is without precedents in Bitcoin's history.

Gold has around 0.5% to 1% 60 day volatility (unfortunately there seems to be no data in the Bitbo chart since 2024). If the evolution continues, BTC will be close to gold in volatility in the late 2020s. And that would be a good thing, because people would be able to buy BTC as a real store of value and not only a speculative asset, trying to catch the next pump or bullrun.

Bitcoin is known for its high volatility due to factors such as market demand, regulations, and global adoption. If you are looking for an investment that grows slowly and steadily to hedge against inflation, Bitcoin may not be the best option due to its high risk. It is advisable to start with a small amount, learn more about crypto assets, and diversify your investments to minimize risk.

If you’re scared about the volatility of Bitcoin then you’re not really ready to invest and the more time you waste the more its price increases and the more you miss out on buying cheaper. Bitcoin will not be an asset to invest in without its volatility, the volatile nature is what gives it value and it is the reason why everyone is investing in it to make some profit for themselves. You want to take advantage of the volatility but scared to see the price move downwards. Bitcoin is not a stable coin and if you want your money to slowly then bitcoin investment is not for you and from the way you talk it seems you’re not capable of taking risks and also seems you cannot afford to lose the money you intend to invest.

You should try and know what you’re investing in and understand why It is wise to invest only money you can afford to risk or lose. Bitcoin risk compared to other cryptocurrencies is lesser and if you invest for a long period then you have nothing to worry about because bitcoin has the potential to increase in price with time. Volatility is not something to be scared of instead it gives us hope that bitcoin can soar higher.

BTC goes as stability goes up.
Gold goes as stability goes down.
Safe and sound.

Fiat currencies are stable but their purchasing powers decrease with time. You can call them as not stable at all.

Stablecoins are really not stable, their pegs to fiat currencies can depeg and stable prices will become too volatile with death spirals like Terra stable coin UST in 2022 collapse.

PSA: Most stablecoins can be frozen, even in your own wallets
Tether (USDT) - Backed by Air and Words
Stable coins: a deep dive into valuation and depegging.

Want something safe? Bitcoin.
Want something profitable in long term? Bitcoin.

For stability, stablecoins (or Fiat currencies) are the answer. Huge profits can only be obtained when there's volatility (if you know how to take advantage of it). I think this is one of the many reasons why people love Bitcoin. The "Elites" (or ultra-wealthy) know this, so they accumulate as much BTC as they can with the hopes of selling during the "pump". Once prices go down ("dump"), they buy more and "hodl" for long. Rinse and repeat.

With how far Bitcoin has gone since day one, I'm certain it will survive in the future. By that time, it will be more advanced and safer/stronger than ever. I'd choose BTC over Fiat anytime because of its decentralized and censorship-resistant properties.

The volatility of its price has a good purpose, and no matter what we do, it never changes, even a hundred years from now (if that still exists).

We just know that bitcoin becomes profitable because of its volatile nature, and taking it away is just like we are putting its end and also the interest of the people. Should we have to do that OP? Are you not satisfied with what it gives to you? I hope you are just fine and change your view about it.

Just think it deeper, OP, and understand the situation.

Bitcoin was never a stake currency, it was meant to be volatile and that volatility is what give it value. It's because of that volatility you have seen it move from $20k to $100k and it's the same reason that will take it to millions in the future. You need to understand that Bitcoin is just like gold but they doesn't have similar characteristics in market behavior, Bitcoin can go down by 10% in a day and it can make 20% in a day depending on the news on ground.

The volatility you're complaining about, it's what many people love Bitcoin for, they make money through that volatility from future trading. If there is high volatility right, you can make quick money form the market and you can lose huge money at the same time but all these depend on how you are willing to risk. For me, I don't do it but there are thousands of people that does this and they make alot of money because of this market volatility.

You can go for gold, it is a reliable store of value, it does not give returns as fast and high as BTC, but it is a stable asset and it retains its value even in times of economic crisis and similar events.

However, BTC is also a store of value and if you have intentions of holding for a long time, i will recommend that you buy BTC too, and when you do so, you simply shut the door to panic and fud and you'll be fine.

Bitcoin need to keep going volatile for the price to keep moving up and down. This is how the crypto market works especially financial markets like cryptocurrency. If op want to invest in a market that is not volatile, then he would have to shift from this market because price will keep going up and down making investors to keep panicking whether price is going to be going bull or bear.

Investing in the crypto market is going to be volatile and we should be prepared for it if we actually want to be making money. The best technique is to buy low and sell high. The problem many people do face especially those that are new in the market is the ability to know when price is going to go bear or bull to know the best time to buy and to sell. Once an investor is able to differentiate between these to intervals, they will be able to make money from cryptocurrency without much panicking.

If you want to invest in something where the price is always stable and doesn't move then bitcoin is not for you.

If you understand bitcoin then you should realize the volatility is good for bitcoin and actually something you want to have.
Without volatility the price will barely move in either direction. So if the price of something barely moves up (or down) then there is not much point in investing in it.

As Michael Saylor said about bitcoin the volatility is a feature not a bug. Strong fundamentals and healthy volatility is why bitcoin has been the best performing asset in the world since it was created in 2009.  

If you are willing to invest into Bitcoin and can hold the bitcoin for like 4 years interval, there's a high possibility that you are going to make profit on your investment but if you want to invest today and get profit the next day, it might not be possible because bitcoin is a volatile asset and without its volatility, you can not also make profit from it. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme and like you already said, you want your profit to grow gradually which what you can do is to invest then transfer your coins to a safe cold wallet and leave it there for some years.

I highly advise to not only make your decisions dependant on chart patterns which take into account the price behavior in the past.

Most of these patterns, including the so-called "four year cycle", will eventually collapse. And the four-year cycles are not even really confirmed as there only were two of them (2013-17 and 2017-21). An important high in late 2025 could look like a confirmation of the four-year pattern, but it still can be simply coincidence, above all because the 2017-21 pattern was quite bumpy and could also be regarded as two separate bull-bear cycles (2017-19 and 2019-21).

Instead a better idea, in my opinion, is to try to read the attention cycles. There are periods where Bitcoin is in the media/news, and others where it's "under the radar", nobody talks about it, and you'll even perhaps be ridiculed when you ask your friends about it. The second type of periods are good for buying, even if the price is increasing -- as long as Bitcoin's ecosystem as a whole keeps growing in the long term.

The volatility is what makes Bitcoin unique, and as a newbie who is interested in investing in Bitcoin, it's advisable you invest an amount you can always afford to lose, if you are scared of it's volatile nature, because depending on how long you wants to invest your money, it's also advisable you don't invest an amount that have been set aside for a project within a week or months time, with the sole aim of making profits. Because you will literally be disappointed in such scenario. Hence, it's good you invest an amount you are solely comfortable about.

Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency was developed to be volatile right from day one by it's created Satoshi Nakamoto, and it is it's volatile nature that has made it skyrocket from less than a dollar to over hundred thousands dollars today. Hence, there is no problem with it's volatility, if only you invest an amount you can always afford to lose. But, be rest assured, it is the best asset for long term investment.

If Bitcoin becomes stable, just like the stablecoins, it would lose its double-edged sword.
Without volatility, there is no punchline for cycles to happen at all.

Bitcoin has high price volatility, because it has limited total supply(which means scarcity) plus unstable demand. The demand for BTC is growing in the long term, but it has short-term ups and downs.
If you are too scared of Bitcoin's price volatility just don't invest in BTC. You might panic, when a price crash/bear market occurs and you might sell BTC at a loss. Just try to diversify your portfolio of assets and don't put too much money in high risk and volatile assets.
Maybe you should seek advice from a licensed broker or accountant. Asking random people on the internet for financial advice is a mistake.

Many people have analyzed that bitcoin may reach1,50,000  to 1,80,000 dollar this year. In this moment, the value of bitcoin is very low, so why is it not safe for a customer to invest all his  asset in bitcoin or why should he invest half of his asset? 

Bitcoin still has a chance to become an alternative payment method alongside fiat, but the dream of a world without fiat and bitcoin becoming the sole major currency is unrealistic.

But we should stop blaming companies and institutions when they promote bitcoin as “digital gold” and say they are the reason why bitcoin cannot become a currency. Because years ago, when governments and institutions were still not interested in bitcoin, retail investors like us considered it an investment and speculation. We never considered it a real currency as we said. It can be said that we have also contributed to bitcoin not becoming a currency.

Op if you are scared, don't invest because you will not have peace of mind and you will be thinking your bitcoins and always checking the price movement to see if it will be on your favour or against. If you want to invest you have to Zero your mind and invest for a long time and be using the DCA strategy to acquire more when you have money. And another thing again don't bring family issue into your bitcoin investment because it will not help you. And don't procrastinating the whole process and start now. Please if really you are newbie, read the forum rules and they are pinned at the top of Meta Board and Beginners and help. And also each board has their own rules. Follow up.

My only advice is, invest only in bitcoin when you have understood it well deeply. When you’re no longer scared of volatility. Because bitcoin will always be volatile no matter what, although it could be less volatile in the future if ever global adoption may achieved and that certain rules and regulations may apply on it. But no matter what, its volatility is what makes bitcoin more thrill and even more exciting to invest, as long as you know how volatility plays for bitcoin.

You know what the problem is? The problem is that the world hasn't moved away from Fiat as the standard unit of account (particularly, the USD). People are measuring BTC's price relative to Fiat, instead of sats.

I dream of a future where we could pay in BTC terms without ever needing to know its value in Fiat terms. A future where 1 BTC = 1 BTC no matter what. That would finally make Bitcoin "stable". Maybe it's too late for that? With companies spreading the "digital Gold" propaganda, it's hard to believe things will change anytime soon. Nothing is set in stone, so anything's possible.

I don't think It will become stable, Maybe for some time It will but something will always move the markets, if a casino or a exchange gets hacked that will move the price, or if there is a whale who decide to sell that will move the price too. So, we can't say bitcoin will become stable at some point, the stability will always be affected for an externa fact.

It's not easy to time the market and find absolute bottom and ATH. History and past cycles can help us to make some price predictions and our plans of entry and exit, but we won't be able to do it perfectly.

If you have profit or good profit and actually make your withdrawal, exit to take profit, it's good and it's enjoyable experience. Don't worry or feel bad if you miss an ATH of a market cycle. Chasing absolute ATH will only make you missing profit taking chance, and stuck in a bear market.

Bitcoin price history.

Volatility is a feature not a bug. If you understand how Bitcoin moves in four year halving cycles, you can use its volatility to your advantage. Sells some high a year after the halving by, buy some low 18 months after the cycle high. Bitcoin will become more stable as time goes on, it’s still a relatively new asset class so volatility is to be expected.

Thanks again to all members for quick reply. I got it.

Agreed through and through.
Thoughts of others may help to indicate where to dig for the OP, but other than that, it's his own battle, one that we all went through and are still in it with Bitcoin 
Once he understands more about it, there would be no confusion, only an understanding of the situation.

Don't invest in bitcoin just because of your friends' advice and don't invest in it if you haven't taken the time to learn everything about it.

I think instead of asking people and getting hundreds of different advices that will confuse you more, you should spend some time learning the basics of bitcoin and it is not difficult to find it on the internet. It is obvious that you are attracted by the stories of high returns of bitcoin but you feel scared when you witness its huge volatility. So I have only one piece of advice for you: the higher the return, the higher the risk. Everything has its price, nothing can bring high profits without risk and safety, don't be too naive.

Great points here.
A person should himself give Bitcoin a try on paper, learn about it, think broadly about it, and then make a decision based on facts he gathered and understood.
No one in the world would be eager to get you without your own determination into something, unless it's a rug 

I'm to believe that you've been given tips of orientations on the volatile movements of bitcoin and its potentials benefits.
Gone are those days when we've to just stock our monies which we don't have anytime usage plans for in the bank as it's stable in the fiats amount figures but can be diminished in values of exchange due to economy inflations.
Bitcoin is a source which when having your funds stocked in, it's there by performs potential value fluctuations in respect of its volatile potentialities.
So you've definitely got it a good thought of not just weighing your funds on a  stable valuable source of bitcoin but has out formed it potential increase of values that's is investment which could give you alternative of earning aside your agricultural farming.
You've really mentioned a huge some of money with the value of $10,000 which if you get it invested on bitcoin and holds patiently within this current market situation, you're sure of greeners harvest at the wrap base and wrap up of the bull run which would give you least 40% of interest within the exercise.
I don't know if bitcoin would go Dip of bearish enough again to say you if we considers your accumulating of bitcoin with the Dcas otherwise, I'd suggest you invest as much as you can bear to hold patiently while you either not panic of using the fund soon nor worried about the markets fluctuations.

That means you're better to invest in bonds instead of Bitcoin, bonds give average return 4%-5% per year, if the inflation rate in your country is 4%, so technically the return are enough to hedge against inflation.

No one in this world can control your decision, even your colleagues ask you to join them, but if you don't want to invest in Bitcoin, it's completely fine.

Speaking from my experience, I DCA-ing Bitcoin from the last 4 years and now my money doubled from my capital, which mean the average return I get is 20% per year.

Don't invest, at least not yet. Don't get into something you don't know. Spend hours getting to know Bitcoin. Don't be in a hurry. If you're convinced it has a good potential, proceed to learn the technicalities associated with it. Don't invest until you're sufficiently informed about wallets, private keys, backups, and what not.

They're pre-requisites to Bitcoin investing. They're a must. If you don't pass through them, you're more likely duped into scams. Your funds will more likely be stolen from you. You'd come back here crying, asking for help, clueless as to what happened.

I've recently started a discussion here about newbies like you who bought Bitcoin only to donate them to scammers. Don't be too eager like them. Take your time. Learn from the mistakes of other newbies like keeping a wallet's backup in a cloud or sharing it to strangers.

I hope you will indeed take time reading the replies here. If your so-called friends just advise you to buy Bitcoin without explaining to you what it is and the dos and don'ts about it, don't listen to them. They just want everybody to buy so that their holdings will increase in value.

Don't worry about volatility for now. It's not the concern of any newbie. You'll understand it in due time. If Bitcoin is volatile, learn Bitcoin first before it being volatile.

Bitcoin is not so volatile like other coins, again you cannot call Bitcoin stable. Bitcoin tends to grow slowly. Since, you keep your money in the bank, it is better to invest in Bitcoin than to keep money in the bank. If you invest in Bitcoin and hold it for a long period, you can make good profits. Day by day Bitcoin is gaining popularity and its demand is also increasing day by day and will increase more in future. However, those who have found success in Bitcoin have held for the long term. Now I won't say that Bitcoin is risk free, but long term investing is very low risk. Now if you can hold for long term, you can invest anytime. You can invest in Bitcoin by DCA method, the best method to invest in Bitcoin is DCA. Finally, you don't invest all your money, keep the fund for urgent needs.

basically if you want to invest in Bitcoin try to buy it gradually or with DCA techniques, before buying make sure you understand what you are buying, research that makes you curious about anything about Bitcoin, so you will be more confident and understand how the real benefits of Bitcoin in the future that makes various countries compete to adopt it.

If you think Bitcoin is very volatile, it means you have never bought a meme coin or altcoin whose ups and downs are much wilder, until now Bitcoin is the safest and is always the number one to be recommended to others who want to invest.

since it seems like you do not want to focus a lot on something then i would say bitcoin really is the best thing you can invest right now it is usually for the best if an individual does not keep checking on bitcoin's price then getting anxious for every single movement of the market

if you just leave your holdings alone, eventually it will rise
bitcoin is not as volatile as it used to be however it is still volatile anyway but if you plan to invest for the long term meaning you want to hold for years from now then you do not have to be scared of volatility because either way your money will grow anyway

bitcoin is not stable as its an international currency..
its main bases of supporting the value and premium is that the mining costs vary wildly due to the massive difference of electric costs around the planet.
at the moment the mining costs across the planet range from $60-$350k meaning the market speculates between these

after all no one can mine or acquire bitcoin for less than $60k on the planet so no one wants to sell for a break even/loss so the bottomline support is strong to hold the price above the value

after all everyone can mine or acquire bitcoin for less than $350k on the planet so no one wants to buy above $350k if they can acquire it for less, giving the market the topline resistance which is strong to hold the price below that premium

over time mining costs(both value and premium maxims) will increase as the hashrate increases so the window would move in a upward motion.. unless(extreme case) bitcoin got a code bug added that broke the function and economics to cause mass panic and also a decline in mining which would cause a lowering of the underlying mining costs via a drop in hashrate

so as long as bitcoin works as it should the window will remain wide due to wide mining costs(volatile), and the window would move up(deflation) due to increasing costs

This is not surprising anymore for newbies to entertain a lot of questions in their mind, and we can relate actually since we also started from a scratch. However, FYI OP, volatility is never a threat for bitcoin and for us investors, it’s even a great advantage for us to make a perfect entry in the market when bitcoin price drops low. And we won’t be seeing btc price consistently dropping its price since there’s even a lot of chances that we will see its price going to the moon.

My point is, price volatility is an asset, not a threat. Without it, we will never witness btc price reaching $50k or $100k. And we’re bound to witness more of its new ATH price when bitcoin becomes more globally adopted, wherein bigger financial institutions will adapt bitcoin as their new investment.

Volatility can be either a plus or a minus nevertheless  it's an important factor that determines the growth of an asset and most especially a coin. What I like to call positive volatility is when A volatile cryptocurrency ends up being profitable over a particular period of time especially years. Sometimes adoption tells what kind of volatility a particular coin or token will exhibit. The more genuine the adoption is the better the volatility will work in favor of the growth of that cryptocurrency.
Everyone looks to invest in a cryptocurrency that will appreciate properly over a given period of time. Meme coins to have strong volatility also but the problem is their adoption is not actually a genuine one unlike that of Bitcoin.

Volatility is already decreasing. See the volatility chart of the past years. The volatility decrease is however not uniform: in years where the price peaks happen, volatility is still high. The last two peaks were in 2017 and 2021. In addition, there was a volatility peak in March 2020 when Bitcoin price crashed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it recovered fast.

I would be however cautious in 2025: we have already experienced a bull market since late 2022, with the price having increased 650% since then ($15,000 to $100,000 approximately). This means it is not unlikely that we will hit a new peak just in 2025 or 2026. If you invest near such a peak you will probably have to wait years for a positive return.

I think Bitcoin will evolve into a more stable asset very slowly and gradually. Perhaps in 5 or 6 years BTC will experience a volatility close to gold today (the Bitbo chart I linked above allows you to compare BTC volatility with gold's), and it will take decades until it is as stable as more stable assets (like bonds).

There are several theories, but mine is that the reason is the short term investment horizon of most investors.

In simpler words: People invest to make short term profits, and then they sell as fast as possible. This leads to "herd" behaviour -- many try to either buy or take profit at the same time, creating big FOMO waves and crashes -- and thus very pronounced cycles of bullish and bearish phases. Fears of a big crash are also a factor contributing to volatility.

If people had more confidence in Bitcoin moving in a more stable way, and invest with longer time horizons and without this exaggerated fear of a crash, then also this could further lower Bitcoin's volatility.

Bitcoin will never cease from being volatile, so volatility is one of the measures that determines for it profitability, all you may need to do is in knowing the various seasons as well as the appropriate time for you to invest, hold and sell.


Afterall, bitcoin is not like the ponzi schemes that promise a sudden fortune over its investment overnight, except you're going for trading and this too will require your time in getting to know how to trade better and avoid making loss.

There's some theory that Bitcoin will stop to be volatile when adoption gets to it's peak but I don't completely think so. Bitcoin will continue to be volatile because that's what it's know for and it'll only stop being volatile when it's no longer existing for investors to buy. Bitcoin investors are more interested in Bitcoin because of it's volatility and the profits that they can make than the purpose that it's an exception currency. Don't be afraid of investing in Bitcoin because when the price falls, you haven't lost money if you keep hodling. You're only going to lose when you sell at a loss than what you bought but when you keep hodling, you'll be glad that you did that instead of selling. Bitcoin is volatile because it's a currency with more of speculators and doesn't have a large market to reduce the volatility. The market is also very new hence alot of things, will improve in the future.

Bitcoin will probably remain volatile for decades, although the higher the number of users the more stable it will become. As companies and funds start to allocate for the long term, bitcoin will become more stable because these funds will not be able to react to every single piece of news. They will need to vote on whether and how much they want to move from cold storage.

The largest percentage is held by these co called diamond hands, the less volatility we will experience, because institutions are rarely driven by fear and greed. They do the math, calculate everything and discuss it at meetings, while the largest bitcoin moves are often driven by the media, like it was with the supposed China bans, covid pandemic news, or the recent situation with US applying to sell bitcoin.

Again back to originally where it was posted? Huh?

Anyway hope you get what you expected...

Some people will just do polls or ask others for advice on their personal investments because they are not sure about the research they can even do on their own. Accepting other people's advice is not bad, but it will be bad advice when it comes to investing.

As you said, conducting in-depth research and exploration can be done first before seeing how other people's responses and suggestions are,
so that there will be a comparison of how the intervention will be carried out whether it is appropriate or not.

OP was also wrong in responding to Bitcoin because Bitcoin will never develop steadily in the future, because Bitcoin is a volatile coin and so on.

Bitcoin is not regulated by anyone and with a high price volatility that makes bitcoin different from other investment instruments,
this can be used to benefit from every price fluctuation that occurs.

Bitcoin is less volatile compared to some other cryptocurrency out there. It's unique and has distinctive features making it's own volatility profitable on a long run.. you shouldn't compare it with stable coins as stable coins are fixed, most investors who wants to make profits prefer something that can increase profitability over Time. I'll tell you to invest in Bitcoin if you know that you can take the risk. Don't risk money that you might need anytime soon.

My suggestion is that since you are a newbie in Bitcoin, why not explore and do deep research first before you invest in Bitcoin that you just heard from your friends?
That's not a good idea if you invest in Bitcoin without any knowledge. We are not a financial advisor to push you to invest in Bitcoin, and we can't guarantee your investment will gain profit. Since Bitcoin is unpredictable, we don't know if the price will increase more or might become stable as you expected.

Why not do some other business instead? and then only invest a small amount that you can afford to lose so that it won't hurt your finances if the price is against your will.
Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea to take any advice from anyone; if I am you, I will do deep research and explore first before I invest.

well that is nice and interesting to hear, i will advise you to keep up the farming work while you still invest in bitcoin. i.e  you can combine the both of them because agriculture is a lucrative business. for the aspect of not being well knowledgeable about bitcoin, of course that is not a problem as that will be taken care of. its just a matter of time you will understand what you ought to know about bitcoin.

you shouldn't be afraid of volatility because that is what makes bitcoin what it is. if not volatility bitcoin would have been a stable coin.

there you got it all wrong, bitcoin is not a stable coin. stable coin as the name implies means it is stable and not volatile, while bitcoin is the opposite end is  volatile. without volatility, no one would have invested in bitcoin.

Thank you. I am willing to see ups and downs and which helps me to make extra income from there.

Firstly, welcome to Indian board where your thread will likely to get better replies, so I reported and moved it here.

Volatility comes from the demand and supply, it's not like how and when since all things are happening on it's own so the volatility will be stabilized when bitcoin reaches it's threshold level of adoption and no more room to grow. Well, those days are probably 100 years away from now so let's focus on do's and don'ts of bitcoin investment.

Fixed deposit (FD) gives an average interest of 7-8% and don't forget you will be paying 10% TDS on interest if the amount exceeds 40K INR so effectively you can make 6-7% via FD which is guaranteed but you can't compare it with Bitcoin which could quadruple or dump to 1/3 of it's value in a year so you need to make sure what you prioritize the guaranteed small return or take the risk and make big?

My personal suggestion will be just buy bitcoin with half of your bitcoin savings and let the remaining in FD to balance the risk factor and in the next 3 or 4 years you will learn about which is best...

Bitcoin is a gem, though I suggest you to invest init. There is only return of 5-7-8% in the fixed deposit which should be deposited for such tenure, while you can't withdraw before completion of deposits termed time. In the same time if you invest some in Bitcoin then you can withdraw your assets at anytime without any barrier.

If you are still in a perplex about whether to invest all or none of your hard earned money, then better to go with less in starting (so, you can learn about how bitcoin gonna progress in future) but you should be aware of while choosing wallets for a long term. some of the reputable members over here has suggested best wallets for storing your Bitcoin : Yu can go through here [General] Bitcoin Wallets- which, what, why?


Why is bitcoin volatile? Because it hasn’t yet been fully adopted.

Organically adopted new money always has and always will a start out first as a collectible, then move to a store of value then, move to a medium exchange, and then finally to a unit of account.

We’re in the so volatile phase now. Once the masses adopt bitcoin, the opportunity cost to spend it will go down. Then bitcoin will be a common medium of exchange.

Bitcoin probably may still get to $150000 in this 2025 but most people including traders and analysts are predicting that $150000 is too small. That bitcoin will increase above $150000 to $180000 or more in this year.

But I will still prefer to advice you that you should not invest all the money on bitcoin. You can take like 50% and invest it. Let the bull run comes and wait for the next bear market. Be patient and see what will happen in that time. If bitcoin price fall, invest more when people are afraid to invest.

If Bitcoin price is stable, do you want to invest your money in Bitcoin.

By having high volatility and high growth rate, Bitcoin is more attractive for investors who afford risk than gold.
You can compare ROIs of Bitcoin and gold and see why people are interested in Bitcoin than gold.

Bitcoin price drawdowns in this bull market cycle are smaller than other past cycles. Is it good enough for you?

Hello I have some FD in my bank which is approximately 1,100,000 INR which is less than 10k equivalent in USD. My few colleagues are here in this community and suggested me to join but I'm not to knowledgeable about Bitcoin technology and I'm farmer who works daily for my parents and I have responsibilities too to look after them. I'm willing to invest in Bitcoin but seeing volatility that scares me a lot. Will Bitcoin gets slow down in volatility like stable way. I don't want my money to gets double, triple or a hundred times of my investment but I want my money to grow in slow, slow way which can helps on inflation.

Why the Bitcoin is mostly volatile sir, mam? What do you think of this my move is I am doing good or bad. Please genuine suggestion only. Thank you
