I am a strong believer in HODL. I expected bitcoin volatility decreases as time goes by, I totally didn't expect such big price change in the past several days.
Is bitcoin volatility here to stay and not decrease?
I also expect volatility to decrease over time. The question really is what timescales we are talking about. I think when crypto is fully established in society and BTC has become widely recognised as a store of value, then volatility will have dropped a lot by that point - but I do think this is years away. I would imagine volatility will continue for the next few years at least.
