Bitgame Labs CEO: Volatility no longer a key issue with bitcoin

Bitcoin opens the door to many opportunities that did not exist before it was created. Yet, the digital currency has yet to convince some investors who remain unconvinced about its potential as an alternative currency.

One reason for the skepticism surrounding bitcoin is its volatility. The digital currency, as we all know, is capable of price fluctuations—as much as 10x changes in price versus the U.S. dollar—in a short period of time.

Bitcoin experts, however, believe that the term volatility should no longer apply to the cryptocurrency.

“I think volatility is probably the keyword three or four years ago or maybe as recently as two years ago. I don’t think that’s the case anymore,” Jiten Melwani, founder and CEO of Bitgame Labs, told industry executives at the ASEAN Gaming Summit on Thursday. “I think that a massive inter-day sweep, inter-week sweep now is rare. There’s more liquidity in the market, there’s more maturity in the market.”
