bITcOIn Is ToO vOLaTiLE

Below is the Bitcoin 200-Week Moving Average (200WMA). This single line is one of the most honest and simple ways to debunk the idea that Bitcoin is “too volatile.” When you zoom out far enough, the chaos fades. No more short term price actions. What’s left is an almost straight line, steadily moving upward over time.

This chart isn’t about predicting price. It’s about perspective. The 200WMA strips away short-term noise and shows the long-term direction, reminding us that what feels wildly unstable up close can look remarkably consistent when viewed through a wider lens.

Of course, riskier investments like Bitcoin and higher volatility stocks or ETFs generally aren’t a good fit if your time horizon is under four years. But this chart shows clearly that anyone who held Bitcoin for at least four years has always been profitable. Even if they bought at an all-time high right before an 80% drawdown and held for at least 4 years they would be in the green.
