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 don't see any reason why it would go away, there is demand and there is a profit to be made from selling, and people are still creating FUDS about Bitcoin, the limited supply makes it a subject to speculation and volatility, people will put a high buy order, when they see demands and progress, and they are fast to sell when there is speculation and bad news circulating.
