This aspect is actually quite convenient if your objective is to turn into a crypto trader. The volatile fluctuation it's what makes it an effective trading asset allowing you to buy low and sell high if you follow the market closely and exercise a correct timing. Besides in crypto’s case the volatility isn't manipulated by a single elite and privileged group, like what you have in oil investments, this volatility is influenced by many factors and players, but it’s also resulting of the trading in itself.
