Topic: Will Bitcoin Experience More Price Volatility in 2018? - page 8. (Read 961 times)
I think it will do. Or else how could we earn profits in a short time interval LOL
Dont know because i am new to the btcs family and i need to venture more into it
Thats a tough question to answer for a currency whose market trail cant be even calculated beforehand
In the year 2017 now the bitcoin will be also volatile for this year as well it is good to have bitcoin in the present time and bitcoin experience more price volatility is expected in this year because many other currencies are also in the market and if the bad news arises in the market then bitcoin price is affected by this but the future is good i am investing now in the bitcoin.
To anticipate whether bitcoin would experience more or less price fluctuations is just as hard as predicting whether bitcoin would increase or decrease in value tomorrow. It's just so difficult to lredict such occurences. But we could at least anticipate it by studying the market, and understanding bitcoin's nature.
Actually, it is hard to determine its future behavior but if we continue to support the crypto then there is a bigger chance that it will increase its value. As of these moment, we can see that its value is stable and it is slowly keep increasing. This is a sign that it is starting to recover from being down. This year it is expected that it will be 3x higher compared to last year peak value.
It is said that 40 percent of bitcoin is concentrated in the hands of a thousand people, and that is a thousand people who are very good at manipulating the rise and fall of bitcoin. If bitcoin needs to have monetary properties, it needs to be stable. Who else would be willing to use and store a currency that could fall sharply tomorrow? It's just a personal idea. There's no basis for it.
Bitcoin is highly Volatile as a Crypto Currency, determination of its volatility for 2018 will depend on market traffic. Many people have a reason for investing in Bitcoin, which is for the purpose of profit, that is they buy when the price is low,and as soon as the price rises, they sell their Bitcoins so as to make profit from their investments,and also to be able to avoid loss as a result of Volatility. The type of investments may be long or short term investments. It is more profitable for long term investments.Also bad publicity about bitcoin by banks also contributes to its Volatility. The Volatility of Bitcoin cannot be determined or ascertain by predictions, but the volatility will allow new investors to be able to access the coin when the price is at the dip,and investors also to hodl and also to have vast knowledge about bitcoin and its Volatility.
I believe Bitcoin volatility never changes, it is always wild but the extemity is probably more. There are different factions regarding Bitcoin acceptance. Some countries do not support Bitcoin while others are very friendly. With this opposing faction pulling tag of war about Bitcoins, whales and manipulater will definitely make use of. spreading FUD in one end and selling hype in other hand, I bet it will really be a more volatility market for Bitcoin in 2018.
Futures contracts over time will reduce the volatility of bitcoins. In addition, it is important that crypto coins will gradually begin to be recognized by many countries and there will be corresponding legislation regulating and protecting investors.
Bitcoin will always be volatile, it's an aspect that gives Bitcoin its identity. It's been a week since 2018 started and as we can see, Bitcoin rates hasn't been stable in a sense that its rate varies from time to time.It will be high at a certain time then it will have a steep decline at another minute. The reason for this is unknown or there might not be any reason for it at all but this just goes to show that the volatility of Bitcoin can be extreme at times. This is expected and we should just put its volatility into good use for our benefits.
Right you are. Bitcoin will constantly go up and down, and the smartest traders will go on earning a lot on this volatility.

In 2017, Bitcoin recorded the most unprecedented gains, making it the most sought after cryptocurrency in the market. As a result, most people are buying Bitcoin for speculative purposes with the hope of cashing on price increases.
Having risen to a high of nearly $20,000 in mid December, Bitcoin experienced high volatility towards the end of 2017, raising the question of whether its price could plunge to below $10,000. But as HOQU's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Shmonov notes, high volatility is nothing new to Bitcoin.
"The price of Bitcoin has always been very volatile even on fake news as many people buy this asset for the sake of speculation and profit. The reality is that the entire crypto market can flop by 90% and this will be normal. We saw this with Bitcoin before. But after some time and after the dust has settled, prices will return to new heights, because progress will go further and people will understand that the problems that caused the drop are resolved or almost solved," he says.
Even so, certain factors fuel the volatility of Bitcoin, and one such factor is government statements on cryptocurrency regulation. On Thursday 28th of December, 2017, Bitcoin prices plunged by the double digits following the announcement of fresh regulations in the world's third largest cryptocurrency market, South Korea. Going by the trend set by this southern peninsula, there’s no doubt that more price swings in the cryptocurrency market will follow.
"The volatility in the price action mirrors the uncertainty in world regulation. Each positive statement from a country or exchange sees a boost in the Bitcoin price, and each proposed clampdown produces a price drop. Changes in regulation is the key price driver for Bitcoin and that won’t change in 2018. I think price volatility will increase this year, this will not be a time for the faint hearted. Reduce your exposure to price volatility by diversifying a little of your portfolio - now," says Linda Leaney, CFO at Globcoin.
According to Marcus Vandea, CEO of Playfold, Bitcoin has a highly volatile nature. But even with its price swings, it’ll be hard for its value to drop below the $10,000 mark.
"High volatility will always be an intrinsic part of Bitcoin, with 30% shifts that always happened but are now more noticeable because of its high value. It’s difficult to believe that Bitcoin will plunge below $10000, as it is now more popular and desired than ever. But extreme value swings will keep happening and will keep discouraging the light hearted investors," he says.
Bitcoin braved the turbulence in 2017, increasing its value from $1000 in January to reach a high of $19,700 in early December, before closing the year at about $14,000.
The answer is really observable at this moment. Its market value early this year is indeed more volatile than it was before . It is continuously falling making its value in the market low. But I am still expecting that Bitcoin will be able to recover with this downfall . Just invest now if possible to earn huge profit as its value starts to rise eventually.

The ever increasing regulation from government , facebook, and instagram ads ban are factor that adds to the price volatility of altcoins particularly the bitcoin. It will continue to become volatile until it become normalize. But as of the moment all we can expect is continuous up and down price of Bitcoin.
We will experience it because that is the normal thing about bitcoin and other altcoins. You got to be more specific. In 2017, bitcoin is from $3k to $20k then $7k and things like that will always occur.
Bitcoin has already shown the highest volatility during last 30 days. Its price dropped down critically and caused a real panic. Now it will gradually go up, but I am waiting for its great pump very soon.
There is no doubt that 2018 will be interesting year and that price of BTC will not have a lot of ups and downs,it is actually one of the features BTC have over the years.Since BTC is decentralized digital currency we should not expect volatility may be something that will disappear in the future,it is very possible that it will become even bigger.
Some say that it will be hard to manipulate the market due high market cap,but I think that people who have lot of BTC increase their supply with time and also start to work together to move market in the desired direction.At the end of the day for most people involved in cryptocurrency the only thing that matters is profit.

I agree with your points regarding manipulation of those with large quantities of BTC, and how while many have said Market cap will act as a insulator to high volatility, we just arent there yet.
Bitcoin alone didn't broach $400 Billion (crypto as a whole hit $800 on it's peak). The Russel 3000 (basically all US Stocks) is roughly 30 Trillion. And we've seen (as we did in 2008), a market that is roughly 100 years old; tumble in half, literally with the Dow landing in the 6000 range. But look where it is now.
Bitcoin is basically like a large company in the overall stock market, that has grown so rapidly in such a short timespan, a correction was inevitable.
Long term, I think one would be foolish to think that Bitcoin is not here to stay. That it's user base will grow. That younger generations will accept it and embrace it, and that it will become a huge market force in the global economy.
Add to that, the next bitcoin halving.
To not think that Bitcoin has enormous growth potential would be foolish.
But as Lucius stated, there will be manipulation; especially considering how unregulated exchanges are, some allowing 100:1 leveraged trading (just reckless in my opinion); but with those types of margin allowances; a person with just 100 BTC has enormous power and market influence.
Once the market cap does grow larger, which it will; Bitcoin will reach $20,000 again, then $50,000, I believe well into the six figures, the only question, what day will that be; and introduce more regulation; or at least regulation which hampers reckless market trades, such as the 100:1 positions people make, I think we will see less volatility; increased adoption, and more companies, not just individuals seeing BTC for what it really is... a tool and technology which will change the world and the way money is used moving forward.
Yes I believe that bitcoin will be more volatility this year. Checking the trend of Bitcoin, I believe I'm on the right track of investment.
I agree with the part of high volatility is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is used as an investment ride these days, people are using Bitcoin price volatility to gain profit or loss 
. As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.
Bitcoin can completely fluctuate in price in 2018. It can develop strongly or it can decline. The number of people taking part in bitcoin is increasing. Making money from bitcoins is a lot harder than before. We must adhere to strict regulations from bitcoin. . As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.
We will experience it because that is the normal thing about bitcoin and other altcoins. You got to be more specific. In 2017, bitcoin is from $3k to $20k then $7k and things like that will always occur.
Just wait, the price is slowly recovering these days and it doesn't still pick up to where the peak of the price it left before it crashed. Right now, the encouragement of investors in Bitcoin is really appreciated. Let us not be discourage of how low the price it is yet unlike before the christmas season arrived. The Bitcoin is still has its ride to 20k USD. It just needs time to reconcile with the market behavior. Remember that unstable price is one of the major characteristics of Bitcoin itself.
I don't think it will experience more volatility in 2018 because as more money and market cap go into Bitcoin the volatility decreases. If we think the year will end at 50-60k bitcoin then by years end the volatility too will be less it simply has to be.
I think so too. Despite optimistic forecasts of bitcoin growth, there will not be such rapid growth as this year. It will basically be held at one level.
