Why does the price of Bitcoin change so much?

Unlike a simple savings account, the value of an asset like Bitcoin changes constantly based on supply and demand in the global market. This continuous fluctuation is known as volatility.

A high volatility means the price can go up or down significantly in a short period, creating both opportunities for profit and risks of loss. This is the core of investment uncertainty.
