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 Huh Huh
For some reason, we can say that bitcoin's volatility is a bad thing since the profit we've gained will fall down together with it if ever it occurs. To avoid such circumstances, we should all be mindful of the market and always take a look if the market is red or green. If red, go buy as much as you can then sell it when it pumps while when its green sell everything to gain much profit.
