Where were you 10 years ago? Bitcoin was volatile every single day and was a wild ride. If you wanted volatility you should have been in then. If you want volatility now there are thousands of cryptocurrencies out there that can give you the rush you are looking for. Bitcoin has finally appeared to take hold at the institution level so the swings will likely not be as drastic with the exception of regulation news that could still send it up or down 10-20% on any given day.
I mean, the swings can still be pretty drastic when you compare it to other currencies. Obviously, other things in the stock market would be more volatile, and various other cryptocurrencies are definitely a lot more volatile, but Bitcoin is most certainly still pretty crazy, and has the potential to earn a pretty sharp trader some serious money, even in the short term.
