Bitcoin price volatility

Historically, Bitcoin's price has been quite volatile compared to traditional assets like stocks and commodities. The Bitcoin price fluctuates based on a number of factors. Often, bad news will cause the price to drop. For instance, when China announced that it would be banning Bitcoin mining, the price of BTC dropped by over 30% in a couple of days. 

It must be noted, however, that following every major Bitcoin crash, the market has bounced back. After the historic bull run of 2017, the market crashed 88%. This caused many people to question if Bitcoin would ever recover. Yet, between the crash and the ATH of 2021, the price increased by 2,500%. 

In 2024, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States helped push the coin to a then all-time high of US $73,000, a 3-month gain of 58.7%. This was followed by the election of Donald Trump as US President. With many in the market expecting pro-crypto policies, BTC surpassed US $100k for the first time within weeks of his election victory.

The different types of Bitcoin wallets

There are several types of Bitcoin wallets. When you buy Bitcoin from a trading platform like Swyftx, it is automatically stored on your behalf in what is referred to as an exchange wallet. From there you can transfer to an external wallet such as a browser or app wallet (i.e. MetaMask), software wallet or hardware wallet. A hardware wallet, like the Ledger Nano, is a physical device that stores crypto offline (i.e. is not connected to the internet). These types of wallets are often considered to be more secure than wallets that are connected to the Internet as it reduces the threat of online theft.
