Bitcoin Volatility: Bubble or Feature?

Truth Bomb Thursday – Debunking Myths + Reality Checks

“Bitcoin is too volatile to ever be money.”
“It’s just a speculative bubble.”
“I’ll wait until it’s stable.”

Heard these before?

Let’s zoom out and blow up the myth.


Volatility Is a Symptom of Birth

New assets are volatile. Always have been.

Amazon stock dropped over 90% in the dot-com crash.
Apple fell 80% multiple times before becoming the world's most valuable company.
Even gold has seen violent swings.

Bitcoin is no different—except it’s monetizing in real-time for the whole world to see.


Why Bitcoin Should Be Volatile

Volatility means people are paying attention.
Debating it. Trading it. Discovering its value.
That’s what price discovery looks like.

And the more it matures, the more stable it becomes.

Volatility is not a bug. It’s a feature of early adoption.


The Fiat Trap: Stability ≠ Strength

Yes, fiat currencies are “stable”—
…until they’re not.

Argentina’s peso was “stable.” So was Lebanon’s lira.
Even the British pound lost 98% of its purchasing power in 100 years.

Fiat stability is a slow bleed.
Bitcoin volatility is short-term pain for long-term gain.


The Truth Bomb?

Bitcoin doesn’t need to be stable today to succeed.
It just needs to be more honest than the alternatives.
