Guide: What is Volatility?
Put simply, volatility refers to how quickly and how much an asset’s price changes. As it measures the rapidity and level of price changes, volatility is often used to measure the risk of investing in an asset. Due to various factors, including the current low levels of regulation and smaller market size, cryptocurrencies are significantly more volatile than most other asset classes.
But is volatility bad?
Despite its typically negative portrayal, volatility isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be good for a portfolio as it creates the potential for massive upsides. If an asset goes up in value, it’s volatile to the upside. If it goes down in value, it’s volatile to the downside.So, volatility isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing. All that matters is whether it’s going in the right direction for you or not. For example, if you short an asset, you’ll want it to go down in value. You want an asset to be volatile as long as it’s going in the right direction.
What happens when you add BTC to a traditional stocks and bonds portfolio?
So, now let’s look at what happened when a group of investors tweaked their traditional global portfolio of stocks and bonds to include BTC at the start of 2013.According to this study, adding 5% Bitcoin (BTC) to a 60:40 global portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) increased returns by 2.5X for a 5% risk! So even if BTC suddenly went to zero, you'd only lose 5% of your assets. That's a sizeable return for a relatively small risk.
Because it’s so volatile and has the potential to increase so aggressively, crypto can have a really profound positive effect on a portfolio at such a small exposure.
Cryptocurrency & volatility
Crypto’s higher level of volatility can, in part, explain the growing interest in cryptocurrency investments, as it enables investors to realise significant returns over relatively short periods.The crypto market’s volatility will likely decrease over time due to market growth, wider adoption, and increased regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
