Is it bad when I'm thinking of selling some bitcoin in order to take advantage of a volatile stock?



Yes.


Why? Bitcoin is at least as volatile as the most volatile stocks.


Should I have added some sort of sarcasm tag to my comment? It was a joke :).


It was a joke mostly because Bitcoin is legitimately innovative and Linkedin is yet-another-social-media-platform-except-for-Serious-Business. No one gripes about investing in stocks even though they (they being one of the biggest companies) can obviously tank 50% in one year. However, every post even remotely related to cryptocurrency will have, guaranteed, a comment or 10 about how "No one will ever invest in this because it is too volatile." It's just an observation of mine.
