Steam dropped bitcoin support citing "high volatility" as a motive.

When amazon stock jumped from $18 to $1,200 over a period of years, was this high volatility a bad thing?

If bitcoin's value increases from $6,000 to $16,000 over a period of months, and HODL'ers benefit, this high volatility is bad?

Where does the idea of high volatility being an unnecessary evil come from?

Are there good arguments or evidence which support the concept of high volatility being a negative circumstance?

In a sense, volatility simply means the price of something moves a lot, its not that bad if the vast majority of motion is in an upward direction?

Huh

bitcoin volatality is too lie to call bad thing. Its not a bad thing all ussers know it also if it is bad why many users came in that so its surely not a bad thing.

in this case it's bad. It makes no sense to compare the shares of Amazon with bitcoin. The shares of Amazon have a completely different purpose, unlike bitcoin.
