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 me it depends on the situation. Bitcoin's volatility is very uncontrollable so the only thing we can do is to go with the waves of dumps and pumps and objectify it to earn more profit. You are the one who gets to decide whethere the volatility would cause you negatively or positively but either way, just be smart and wise and you'll surely get what you are longing for.
