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 they 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 Bitcoin crash, the market has bounced back stronger than ever. After the historic Bull run of 2017, the market crashed 88%. This caused many people to questions if Bitcoin would ever recover. Between the crash and the All-Time High of 2021, the price increased by 2,500%.
