5) “Bitcoin is Too Volatile”
Bitcoin is promoted as a store of value and medium of exchange, but it has a very volatile price history. This leads, again somewhat understandably, for investors to say it’s not a good store of value or medium of exchange, and thus fails at the one thing that it’s designed to do.
And they’re kind of right. Bitcoin isn’t the asset that you put money into for an emergency fund, or for a down payment on a house that you’re saving up for 6 months from now. When you definitely need a certain amount of currency in a near-term time horizon, Bitcoin is not the asset of choice.
This is because it’s an emerging store of value, roughly 12 years old now, and thus carries with it a significant degree of growth and speculation. Its market capitalization is growing over time, taking some market share from other stores of value, and growing into a meaningful asset class. We’ll see if it continues to do so, or if it levels off somewhere and starts to stagnate.For Bitcoin’s market cap to grow from a $25 million to $250 million to $2.5 billion to $25 billion to today’s value of over $250 billion, it requires volatility, especially upward volatility (which, of course, comes with associated downside volatility).
As it grows larger, its volatility reduces over time. If Bitcoin becomes a $2.5 trillion asset class one day, with more widespread holding, its volatility would likely be lower than it is now.
Therefore, having a nonzero exposure to Bitcoin is basically a bet that Bitcoin’s network effect and use case will continue to grow until it reaches some equilibrium where it has lower volatility and is more stable. For now, it has plenty of volatility, and it needs that volatility if it is to keep growing. Bitcoin’s technological foundation as a decentralized store of value is well-designed and maintained; it has all of the parts it needs. It just needs to grow into what it can be, and we’ll see if it does.
It’s like if someone identifies a new element, and people begin discovering uses for that element, and it experiences a period of rapid growth and high price volatility, until it has been around for sufficient time that it eventually settles in to a normal volatility band.
While Bitcoin remains as volatile as it is, investors can mitigate the risk by having an appropriate position size.
Litecoin was designed to be used for cheaper transactions, and to be more efficient for everyday use. In comparison, bitcoin was being used more as a store of value for long-term purposes. The coin limit market cap is much higher on litecoin than bitcoin, and the mining process far quicker. This means transactions are faster and cheaper, although generally smaller in size. love bitcoin форк bitcoin fpga ethereum ethereum хешрейт bitcoin p2p ethereum картинки майн bitcoin bear bitcoin bitcoin reward bitcoin калькулятор установка bitcoin bitcoin комиссия

First, it provides bitcoin access to investors who cannot afford to purchase an actual bitcoin, thus increasing demand. Second, it can reduce price volatility by allowing institutional investors who believe bitcoin futures are overvalued or undervalued, to use their substantial resources to make bets that bitcoin’s price will move in the opposite direction.ethereum ротаторы monero *****uminer bitcoin информация bitcoin armory взлом bitcoin convert bitcoin bitcoin вектор tether обменник bitcoin electrum monero simplewallet bitcoin cms bitcoin команды bitcoin форки hashrate bitcoin store bitcoin теханализ bitcoin bitcoin wmx bitcoin play создатель ethereum se*****256k1 bitcoin кредит bitcoin steam bitcoin logo ethereum cryptocurrency wallet simplewallet monero падение ethereum service bitcoin electrum bitcoin обзор bitcoin bitcoin кошелька excel bitcoin ethereum habrahabr mac bitcoin карты bitcoin bitcoin сеть боты bitcoin etoro bitcoin bitcoin indonesia

The network follows the gossip protocol. Think of how gossip spreads. Suppose Alice sent 3 ETH to Bob. The nodes nearest to her will get to know of this, and then they will tell the nodes closest to them, and then they will tell their neighbors, and this will keep on spreading out until everyone knows. Nodes are basically your nosy, annoying relatives.abi ethereum monero курс bitcoin elena monero график краны monero Bitcoin is able to hold the 1MB worth of data in each block, while others, such as Bitcoin Cash, have a block size limit of 8MB.bitcoin 123 bitcoin dark bitcoin crypto bitcoin халява
