Generally all currencies are volatile in nature. Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency. It operates only on peer to peer exchange system. Bitcoin`s supply was restricted at time of its creation. Bitcoin`s growing price is attracting more and more investors towards it. This growing demand and restricted supply is making bitcoin currency more and more volatile. Traditional currencies are centralised in nature, their supply is controlled by their regulators, due to which they have less fluctuations. Bitcoin has no central authority; its price is controlled only by flow of demand and supply, that is why it fluctuates a lot.

Let's think it as a whole and if we talk about the volatility of a digital currency, well that's due to the movement of the supply and demand in the market. That's right the supply was being controlled so that it will serve those who wanted more trades in daily basis or in long term holdings set. Fluctuations always happens not just with bitcoin but also the other crypto currencies like those altcoins.

Its not only the bitcoin but all of the coins have this volatility nature and we can't do anything about it. Its fluctuating because of the news that are spreading online, and the FUDs .

It's fluctuating due to speculations on the market. Also Bitcoin is dependent on media. If there are news about something happening in cryptoworld bitcoin immediately reacts by jumping up or down. So, it's normal. Calm down and trade wisely.

Are you seriously comparing fiat volatility to bitcoin volatility? Lol. They're incomparable. It's mountain vs. molehill.
It's also like comparing oranges to apples.  Grin

Bitcoin has been moving like this even before, years ago when you'll check out the charts and how much bitcoin is way back 3-5 years ago. And there is almost the same movement from those charts to the current one that we are with.

Huh It's a rollercoaster???

It’s more likely because of uncertainty and continuous bad propaganda against bitcoin. Then it was holiday season at that time, more investors withdraw they’re money for auditing purposes or for giving and spending for family celebration. I do that and I’m one of millions bitcoin investors who might done the same without hesitation. It’s time to share and give to those who badly need some love and happiness like our family.

Bitcoin charts look like a rollercoaster due to price fluctuation, the Bitcoin community is not big enough to determine a more stable price threshold.

Those who believ in Bitcoin will ask for higher price while new users bids will be easily affected by rumors and what media says.
In less than one year Bitcoin price changed from 1k$ to 19k$ which made people confused, some of them started selling to enjoy their profits while others believe that it will be more expensive.

Bitcoin is fluctuating because of forks and one thing for sure is because of it's volatility, it goes up and down .if it doesn't flucutuate then there is a problem to be addressed. It's a roller coaster to somebody who thinks that bitcoin is just a game, but it's not. It's all natural mate. It's the same roller coaster as other coin goes up and down but different in value.

Fluctuating is a results of a movement from both sides the seller and the buyer. A supply and demand equation.
The more people will going to buy the price will surely increases as the supply will getting fewer.
Nobody knows if someone is controlling on that price. Or just a many small panic investors dumps there coins at the same time.

Eversince bitcoin started, its nature characteristics is that it is very volatile and it price is changing from yime to time. And we are aware of it for sure. There are many predictions this year that the price of bitcoin will rise to 60K$.

Bitcoin’s value is dependant on the intensity of demand and supply there is.
The demand is a market factor.
The intensity with which the market needs the commodity fuels the demand aspect.

Huh It's a rollercoaster???

Yes, Bitcoin is a rollercoaster ride and it is either you are enjoying the ride experience or you get traumatic because of it. This is the reason Bitcoin is not for everybody especially those people who are prone to panic and have weak hands who can only see the NOW and not the short-term future. There is no doubt that Bitcoin will be growing by leaps and bounds but the path to growth is always littered with humps and bumps. This has been already one of the important features of Bitcoin -- in just minutes the volatility can strike and any gains can vanish into this air just like magic but it has also its outstanding capacity to resurrect itself and surge again -- and again. Though this can be a big nightmare for merchants -- in fact one big merchant recently said goodbye to Bitcoin due to this issue -- the same thing can be heavenly to traders who are already knowledgeable on how Bitcoin works.

Welcome to the Bitcoin Carnival!


I agree. Also, I think that's one feature of cryptocurrency, specifically bitcoin; it has that volatility aspect where its price would come up or down, seemingly in a glance, sometimes without reason, but that's how it works. As one ventures the bitcoin market, he or she should also be ready with changes like this. It may fluctuate erratically at times, and be stable for long periods of time, it's just a matter of being patient and accepting that the market has trends like that and wouldn't always play out like you want it to.

There are a few reasons to back Bitcoin's fluctuation actually. It's a young currency, so if it doesn't doesn't fluctuate it just means that it has stabilised and there won't be as much opportunity as it has currently. And investors seeing the coin fly to an amount never seen before will definitely want to cash in on the profits. These 2 factors, including others like news and reports on it make the price fluctuate, but it definitely is an opportunity for us.

Well the graphs in crypto currency is a wile one. It's like the hybrid of stock market and forex. Due to the continuous bullish run, we all know that people who invested will start to sell at their desired profit.

Personally I just think of it this way. Those who have invested their fiat value on btc is starting to take profit from their earnings.
Lets say I invested 1000 USD in btc at the price of 12,000 USD then then it went to 19,000USD then its about time for me to take profit and enjoy my earnings.
but if you are a real believer of crypto curreny, HODL is the key in this business.

One of the reasons why the btc fluctuates so much is the price of this currency has a more direct relationship with the supply and demand of it, than that of traditional currencies. In the case of the dollar or the euro, for example, their contributions may be affected by economic, political or social factors. Thus, an expansive or contractive monetary policy, a warlike conflict or capricious decisions of the authorities; They will influence the price of the currency issued by a central bank. But not in the price of bitcoin, or not so directly.
Since the whole market is now dominated by so many people, the volatility of the price makes the crypto market the most volatile market in the world today. how are you today my friend


I'll explain this by telling you one word because it's speculative asset that's why. It doesn't have stable price, it doesn't have good use case and many people came just to try to buy low and sell high. When you add some other things well of course it is fluctuate in price.
