I took out the money on loss which was stuck in from last 3 years. Better have something than nothing. Idea of trading is only worth doing if done as a full time job.

As a currency, I don't want to use a currency which goes up and down like all these.

Bitcoin is a lot less volatile than you think: https://www.etftrends.com/alternatives-channel/bitcoins-vola...

“In our current volatility research, we compared the 90 day and year to date volatility—as measured by their daily standard deviation as of November 13, 2020—of bitcoin against the constituents of the S&P 500 Index. We found that bitcoin has exhibited lower volatility than 112 stocks of the S&P 500 in a 90 day period and 145 stocks YTD.”

People complaining about volatility are usually comparing against currencies not equities.
