No, it's also problematic to the upside if you're trying to use it as currency or medium of exchange rather than a speculative investment. How do sellers of assets price things? If I'm trying to sell a home in bitcoin and btc surges in value one day, do I lower my price accordingly? Or do I wait to see if btc goes back down a bit and settles? Volatility - both up and down - is destructive to price discovery. If you're just making long speculative investments in btc and volatility is skewed to the upside, well sure that's fine but you're not using bitcoin as a medium of exchange, you're investing in it as a security.
