Topic: Will cryptos be so volatile forever? - page 25. (Read 2226 times)
This is basically the main problem the whole world of cryptocurrencies is facing. It is a giant casino now, which is what produces this volatility. This will be always a problem for a serious adoption of cryptos as actual money.
Forever is too long period of time. My opinion is cryptos will be admited as old technology in which humanity will not need anymore, one day cryptos are going to be replace by something more modern.
I think that approximately 3-4 years will be needed in order to regulate the status of the crypto-currency in the world economy and to introduce them into the lives of ordinary consumers. the only way for its price to become stable is if it reaches a certain value you can never imagine to have.
I think that they will stay being volatile forever because the price of the cryptocurrencies are determined by a demand and since most of the cryptocurrencies doesn't have some regulators then the price will stay volatile and not have an almost fixed price. In my opinion, it is good to see some coin that are volatile compare to not because it gives you chance to make a lot of profit.
No, when the speculation and hype already simmer down and cryptocurrencies become the boringly well-understood financial assets, the prices will stabilize. I'm sure we can achieve that in the future.
Bitcoin and the rest of cryptos are volatile in the sense that it rises and falls down drastically and that's because of whales, small investors and other people's demand plays a major role in the cryptocurrencies. So i think the volatility of cryptos will continue as long as these playmakers are still there.
No. Cryptos will not be volatile forever. Once their use is established and they are actually used in transactions their value will move slow just like stock of companies on stock markets. For example, If purchasing one burger on mcdonalds will cost you 0.0005 bitcoin then the value of bitcoin vs usd will not matter anymore.
I think that approximately 3-4 years will be needed in order to regulate the status of the crypto-currency in the world economy and to introduce them into the lives of ordinary consumers. The more goods and services you can buy for crypto-coins, the more coins will have real supports. And the more well-known, the goods and services will be in demand, the stronger will be the support. The same applies to the system of use. If there are large and reliable systems for exchange, input-output, then the crypto-currencies have a chance to quickly penetrate into the life of an ordinary person and secure stability.
Of course, cryptocurrency eventually has to go to the general public's attention and guide it to ordinary people's lives, which can reflect its value. A thing needs to be approved by the majority of people and can be widely used. 
There's no exact answer in the question because it can happen base only on possibilities,i think the cycle repeat and still repeat so the price go down and high but i think the price can be also stable like if we acknowledge digital money as an international money all over the world,with the current price now we can easily say anything but the possibilities only of what can happen here in crypto like also if the price go really high so someone can't afford to buy btc or any kinds of digital money.
I think it will be forever volatile because it is decentralize. It is uncontrollable, and because no banks can regulate it.
Its supply and demand is continuously varying, because it is based on the users option, you can leave it and don't access it anymore which lessens its demand.

Cryptos are new and still in early stage (infant stage) now. It will be more stable when it matures.
Volatility of the cryptos depends on us, demand and supply. Also, since it's a decentralized cryptocurrency central bank can't regulate it, thus unable to control it if its value increases or decreases.
Yes i think so, since cryptos are decentralized which means no one's handling it to regulate it, no one's there to stabilize its value. Unless bitcoins would be regulated, then and then it would stop being extremely volatile.
I think small-mid caps will be volatile.. large caps will be somewhat stable but with certain levels of volatility depending on the volume.. In the long run, it will be more difficult to move prices up or down once market caps become so big.
Well i guess it could be "less" volatile in the future. What's causing volatility right now is that it's being traded like a stock and that's because of the scalability issue. People can't use it as actual currency right now because it's too slow. On top of that, regulations after regulations and the bad reputation it's been getting because of pyramid scams are forcing some people to sell. Im speculating that once, the scalability issue is fixed and all regulations has been imposed, the volatility will somewhat decrease.
My opinion is will be forever, because crypto market not regulative. One big investor can change situation on the market
I think the volatility of bitcoin won't be gone forever maybe the frequent ups and downs of its price may go lesser than today and that may happen if all the bitcoins were mined.
Though, it is not in the nation of cryptocurrency or any digital coin to achieve a stable price but we still hope it becomes so. Because of the nature of bitcoin the price will continue to either dip or pump till maybe the coin is massively supported and widely adapted universal. But if not, the price will be always be unstable. But with the so many rejections and banning, its quite hard for bitcoin to be stable. For now, there will still be unstable flow.
Mainstream adoption will bring stability
When will we reach the state of more of less stable cryptocurrencies or it is in their nature and will never end?
Mass adoption should indeed provides more stability to the prices, talking mainly about the big crypto-currencies out there. The volatility of nowadays can be explained by the fact that a total of 1000 people own 40% of the Bitcoin market right now. I believe in 2 years time price should get more stable, and therefore could attract many investors who feared this volatility so far.
But big ups and downs will still happen on crypto-currencies with small market cap. I wonder if regulations being implemented more and more in western countries will make it impossible for small (new) crypto to emerge.
They won't. The stabilization of the prices won't come with the rise of the value (just look at the Bitcoin - it is already one of the pricier commodities ever) but with the maturity stabilization of the market. When the market will be saturated in such way that the majority of the investors have finally entered and after all the main corrections are done (also the burst of the bubble, if there ever will be one) - then it will finally stabilize as the inflow and outflow of the money will have less influence.
At this moment the potential for the inflow of money is far greater then the total market cap. so it is normal that the prices can be influenced a lot.
