Title: will bitcoin ever not be volatile?
Post by: bitterguy28 on March 20, 2025, 01:50:58 PM
before bitcoin was seen as an investment opportunity and it was not valued as high as it now back then, you could buy pretty much anything with a few bitcoins but now is not the same anymore no one almost wants to use their bitcoin to buy anything certainly something as mundane as pizza for example

we could say that people's reluctance to not using bitcoin for everyday transactions can also be because of its volatility but as we talk about the future where bitcoin is adopted globally by the masses and used for everyday transactions, do you think that a time will ever come where bitcoin will not be volatile?

since bitcoin is decentralized and its value depends on the people who holds it, will there ever be a time where its volatility stabilize? are there any ways to stabilize its volatility?

Bitcoin will always be volatile. But as the marketcap increases more, bitcoin is becoming less volatile. Unlike before.

since bitcoin is decentralized and its value depends on the people who holds it, will there ever be a time where its volatility stabilize? are there any ways to stabilize its volatility?
What will make bitcoin price stable only wants people to sell their coins. Its price can not be stable.



Bitcoin is decentralized but that is not the cause of its volatility. There are many altcoins that are centralized and are more volatile.

Let me make it more solid. There are stocks that are completely centralized but the price of the stocks are not stable but volatile.

There have been discussions about it having a stable price which if it has to be considered Strategic reserve, BTC has to have  stability. I'm not sure how they will be doing it but for the currencies to be backed by Bitcoin, Bitcoin has to have a price that won't differ in few seconds.

Seem an impossible to happen unless governments will ban BTC that only them can use.

Now that people have seen its potential or worth on which even just simply holding up your coins could really be that the main reason on why people wont really be just that easily be spending up their coins on which if they do know that they could be able to buy something with fiat then they would really be definitely be doing it rather than on spending up their coins. Speaking about stability? No it wont happen because buys and sell are happening and this would be the main reason on why prices do really move up and down on which this isnt something that you can remove from it, not unless if we do speak about stable coins then this would be an another story. People would flock away if they wont really be finding any profitability in towards Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has always been this much volatile and to be precise it was more volatile before but now we see the big difference due to the fiat value.

People doesn't want to spend Bitcoin for two reasons.

1. They know that Bitcoin is going to increase in the future so why spend now, just hold and have better future.

2. The places we can spend Bitcoin is very limited even after all these growth.

First of all we have to know that bitcoin is not a stable coin so bitcoin will always have the volatile market.

And since Bitcoin is considered a trading and investment asset, if its highly volatile market price is not sustained, most people are likely to turn away from it. However, even if the volatility value decreases slightly according to the record because the adoption rate will be higher in the future, its volatile condition will still be considered highly volatile in the market. So there is no chance that ever the bitcoin will not be the volatile.

i do not know if the government's intention of making bitcoin part of the reserve is for stability but rather it could be for profit they are hoping that they would get more profit if they hold bitcoin and other altcoins then they could have more money in their reserve and pull out the profits for whenever they need it

is there any way for the government to make bitcoin stable? i do not think so and i can't think of any way

The volatility in the price of Bitcoin will reduce overtime, but there can never be or come a time when the price will become stable like fiat currencies.
It is important we understand that Bitcoin's value (both it's general and monetary value) is tied to its volatility, the day the price of Bitcoin stops being volatile is the day it starts gaining stand as a currency for peer to peer transactions (that is, many people will start using it as payment for buying and selling), but it also will start losing alot of big investors since most people are investing in bitcoin solely for its volatility and ability to increase in value in a short period of time.

So in other words, we can assume or say that the price volatility is a blessing in disguise, and we shouldn't pray for it to stop.

OP I would like to give you an example here that is not mine (I read it somewhere or probably from YouTube),
'Consider a small boat with very few people onboard, it will be more susceptible to the waves. But on a large ship with many people, you will feel less wave turbulence (not sure if using the right word ;D).'
Volatility will always be there but it will become less and less as the adoption of BTC will increase.

Agreed.

Bitcoin will become more and more stable in that regard as time goes on. That's obvious to see the difference between the cycles we already had and how BTC reacted during this time.

Bitcoin will always be volatile and that is where both the market demands and supply comes in to give how volatile the market could be at a particular time, for us to have an entry, invest and make profits, we must understand the same way or pattern this volatility works, the same way you will discover about so many other investments assets as well as digital currencies, on how volatile they have been for a while and till now remained the same.

I think you put too much credit into their action. There's no way their intention is that noble. It's all about preserving their wealth.

is there any way for the government to make bitcoin stable? i do not think so and i can't think of any way
They can buy every single coin in existence and force companies to 'gift' crypto to them, but that's unlikely to happen given the cost and backlash that might arise from doing them. I don't think they want Bitcoin to be stable as mentioned above so that's that.

Bitcoin and every other real decentralized market is going to be volatile always as it's a free market or should I say open market where anyone can sell or buy anytime. But It won't be like the volatility we have now.

In the future due to the more reliability factor and store of value factor with Bitcoin, it's going to be less volatile but the volatility is not gonna be dead anytime.

This is not true. Otherwise, the daily volume of Bitcoin traded wouldn't be larger than the amount being mined. Bitcoin would have to be spent, whether to purchase electricity for mining equipment, pay household/college expenses, or even buy a cup of coffee.




The reason for this is that, for example, if you buy a cup of coffee for $5, which is equivalent to 0.000059 BTC, if the price of Bitcoin reaches $1 million in 10 years, its price will be $59. Inflation would then make a cup of coffee cost $15.

I don't believe Bitcoin will ever stop being volatile, but it may become less volatile in the near future as adoption increases and governments reserve Bitcoin, making sales less frequent and the price more stable.

You can't prevent people from selling Bitcoin when its price rises. As the price rises, selling increases, and then it falls again. Therefore, I believe volatility cannot be stopped, but it can be mitigated as much as possible.

Volatility isn't the first thing in Bitcoin, it happens in other places like the stock exchanges and other financial instruments. The difference is that Bitcoin is volatile when there is good and bad news but their own is when the market is in a very bad condition, that's when you experienced high sell and market down but other financial instruments remain the way they are.

I think it's because of this volatility people love crypto, you can make all the money you want to make here and you can lose it and that justify everything. If you can make money quickly, you can as well lose it quickly. I think it's nothing to be worried about because everyone actually loves it when there is volatility.

-snip-
If that happens, it may only be for a short time because more people will start to enter and move the market price.
Crypto will still get high volatility which results in price fluctuations, especially Bitcoin which is the main coin.

Becoming a more stable crypto will only happen when Bitcoin really takes a break and gives the altcoin a chance to make a price recovery,
but as bitcoin's dominance continues to rise no one can stop it.

I don't think so.

In order for that to happen, trading would have to stop all together, which means many trading platforms would go out of business.

People will never not trade bitcoin and other crypto. For most of them, it's literally how they make their money.

That's how eg. local governments keep their currency stable, by stopping speculation.

The bitcoin market will always be volatile and I agree that if it experiences stability, it will only be for a short time. We have witnessed it for more than a decade and we know how the market always moves.

But I think there is something more important than all that, what is more important is that we continue to use it to gain profit. Because it will be useless if we continue to talk about bitcoin, while we do not gain any profit.

How about controlling the people who holds btc? If you find that impossible, then you should give up the idea of a stable price for bitcoin.

After more than a decade in the open market, I'm pleasantly surprised that people are still asking about stability or complaining about volatility.

Post by: PX-Z on March 23, 2025, 03:30:56 PM
There are several factors that can influence when Bitcoin will become less volatile or not be volatile at all. The mentioned increase in market cap is just one of many, along with mainstream adoption and lower mining rewards. Why lower mining rewards? Because miners selling its stacked Bitcoin also impacts its price. However, for obvious reasons, this process will take time before it happens.

       -     It seems you don't know the answer to your question op. You're not new to the cryptocurrency industry, are you? Why are you asking if Bitcoin won't be volatile? If Forex and stocks are very volatile, then Bitcoin is even more so.

We all know here that bitcoin will always be volatile, and it's impossible for it not to be volatile, that's how the market in trading works op.
That's all I can say to your question.

With all due respect to your point of view, this is a superficial view. Satoshi didn't invent Bitcoin to make a profit. His vision was much deeper and more profound. It's not just a means of making money.

Bitcoin, in its general concept, has the characteristics of a global currency used for peer-to-peer payments in a decentralized manner, without the need for a third party. The goal of inventing Bitcoin was never profit.

What makes Bitcoin unique is its volatility. To give investors profits or losses within a space of time. Remove the profits and losses from Bitcoin investment; you will see that the demand for Bitcoin globally will reduce. Investors will find the need to invest in Bitcoin again because almost all Bitcoin investors are investing in Bitcoin for long term profits

Over a long period of time investment dedication is not because of the volatility, and the demand for Bitcoin won't drop with the drop in volatility, volatility is not gonna be eliminated from the crypto market as it's not a traditional market, it's an open market.

It is because of reliability that people are making long-term investments.

Actually, volatile is very common process for cryptocurrency market. We know that bitcoin or cryptocurrency market is always depending on up and down. So I believe this volatile process will running in long time. If we follow in cryptocurrency market, we can see that many people want to invest for long term because it will be very prefer for us. We can decide when we can sell our crypto. But short term investment is also very risky for any traders and investors, because in this time we can not understand correctly and it will be very risky for any traders and investors. So when we face volatile time we should be understand in cryptocurrency market and must be careful.

you are right i would be interested to know if anyone who invests or trades in stocks or bonds notice anything different between that and of crypto markets? is crypto more volatile? i guess it can be since i believe it is a lot more accessible than stocks or bonds, right?

anyway i think that it is impressive how bitcoin, despite its volatility, has remained valuable all these years even if its value was fluctuating it never actually came down to zero

I didn't trade `em, but I do think they move not as fast as the crypto market, that may be the reason many still think it's all a gamble, not a calculated risk.

Volatility is just the way for BTC to gain traction and value during different cycles ;) Besides the adoption processes and so on.

I also believe people have also realised that this digital currency has also remained strong in spite of the large volatile price movement. Thus, there is still something exceptional concerning how this asset remains focused on generating interest and retains its value despite the problems it encountered. The fact that it had been existing for more than a decade is evident that there is something in it which draws the attention of people making them continue believing in it. In this case, it is easier to buy and sell this asset as compared to stocks or bonds in the market. Crypto gives a wider population a relatively easier entrance without having to go through the various steps usually necessary to invest in other investment opportunities. Perhaps that is why it is more volatile but at the same time, that is why it is desirable to some people.

BTC is not going to suddenly become a stablecoin one day, lol, it will always be volatile, but it is expected that with mass adoption and all, volatility will reduce significantly in the future. If that time comes, then we will only experience small movements up and down, we'll see if that is what the future holds.

People reluctant to use their Bitcoin for everyday transactions is pretty much normal especially for those people who sees Bitcoin as an asset, but not ALL think like that. In fact, I'm always spending most of my Bitcoins on a monthly basis. Yes, it isn't Bitcoin that I'm using, but I'm converting it into our own fiat currency (and I guess that's considered spending of Bitcoin, right :D).

As for your question, no it will not happen. Bitcoin is an asset, or I should say a speculative asset that people will try to buy and sell therefore, it will not become stable or at least as stable as those stablecoins out there. At the end of the day, there will always, and always be people that will buy Bitcoin, and at the same time, sell Bitcoin, and maybe let's also add the fact that Bitcoin isn't pegged to anything unlike stablecoins which is pegged to US Dollar.

Volatility makes investing exciting, so why think of Bitcoin being stable. :D

People hold on to Bitcoin because they know its future value, they certainly know in the next few years the value would have certainly risen. Regarding its volatility, I don’t think it will ever stop been volatile but its volatility will reduce with time. The more investors and buyers, the more stable it will become.

Volatility will surely be going down for Bitcoin but this can take a lot of time and if there can be bigger mass adoption including governments taking in Bitcoin as part of their international monetary reserve. By then, Bitcoin will be moving less erratic making it more attractive to big institutional holders and traders but less for ordinary investors like you and me as the possible returns will plummet just like gold or stocks. Right now, there is that innate excitement with Bitcoin especially from the view of ordinary holders like you and me...and this is partly because of its volatility. So shall we be afraid of volatility? No, I think we should embrace it like a lovely pet.

For the current time frame, I am not seeing Bitcoin as a stable currency, and it is hard to make it a stable currency as its value becomes more volatile after the Trump administration, in my point of view, and if we look at the historical nature of Bitcoin, it depends on its cyclic behavior, and we always have been facing a bull market after bear season where we all get a fair opportunity to accumulate it.

Other than that, Bitcoin has always proven itself a dominator in the market, and still we can deny it is a volatile digital currency. The best part of it, which I like, is that it has always been given the opportunity to investors who believe in it.

You are correct on your observation that Bitcoin has remained amongst the most popular digital currencies even though it is volatile often coming with significant daily price fluctuations. Though the changes which happen from time to time may depict it as an unstable region, these characteristics are some of the attraction to investors who search for opportunities in each change. One can clearly make the conclusion about the fact that everything has its two sides, and there were always times when the price of Bitcoin started to grow again. Of the residual loyal and patient people, they end up positively affected those cyclic phases that exist. Since more and more people remain convinced that Bitcoin is an object of value, it is not surprising that the digital currency remains in the spotlight in the world of finances.

if I see bitcoin has been volatile for a long time, but since Trump became US president bitcoin reached a fairly high ATH, jumping to more than $ 100K.
Because of the volatile nature of bitcoin, I think it can attract investors to invest in bitcoin. And currently bitcoin is widely owned by large investors so it is likely that the price of bitcoin will rise higher in the future.

Analysing the changes in Bitcoin add a tendency that value of this asset grows with the growing amount of large investors who begin to manage it. This can indeed have an influence on the directions of the prices in the future, even though high volatility is still more a distinctive feature of Bitcoin. Fluctuations in the price can be as a result of major market events or government policies affecting the economy, but the continued accumulation of largest investors with more capitalised means can act as major positive influence on the development of the price of bitcoins in the future.

since bitcoin is decentralized and its value depends on the people who holds it, will there ever be a time where its volatility stabilize? are there any ways to stabilize its volatility?
BTC is not going to suddenly become a stablecoin one day, lol, it will always be volatile, but it is expected that with mass adoption and all, volatility will reduce significantly in the future. If that time comes, then we will only experience small movements up and down, we'll see if that is what the future holds.
Why do you and Charles-Tim believe that bitcoin volatility would be tamed in the future? Bitcoin is not gonna be any less volatile in the future. It will continue to be volatile as more people embrace it.
Volatile is one attribute of bitcoin that attracted people to it. If bitcoin loses it's volatile nature, people will abandon it for other coins. For the king to continue to move the market, it must continue to be volatile.

The volatility of Bitcoin may reduce later in the future when people no longer consider it as an asset strictly for investment. The buyers and the sellers are the ones who are creating the  volatility in the market and when the activity of buying and selling reduces volatility will follow suit.

Do not get it wrongly. You will need to go through the bitcoin chart, comparing marketcap with the price. Bitcoin is less volatile if compared to its price some years ago. This is not only about bitcoinn but all assets generally.

No. You are getting it wrong. If bitcoin become less volatile, more people will see it as a safe haven and a good substitute for gold. Also we are not saying bitcoin will lose its volatile nature. It is different from it becoming less volatile.

It may be in sideways area, but the price still keeps volatile. And that is still going on until now. There is no safe and stable price during the market, every market currency must say something. But for Bitcoin, this is always volatile. Even though there are many people who feel that they are really stable and there are no significant changes, but still, price changes are very normal and often occur, volatility also has its pluses and minuses. So, it's just a matter of how we manage it for our own good.

I don't think a day will come where it will be used for everyday transactions, so that means we don't come to seel BTC with no volatility, as we all know its price is highly influenced by the demand and supply factors but along with other factors too, like now a days, its news from Trump or Elon or from some big person.

No, there will be no time when its price will stabilize, and if it will I might not hold it, why you want to stabalize it, it can't be because of its deflationary nature, people wills only hold it.

If that time comes, then we will only experience small movements up and down, we'll see if that is what the future holds.

Even with mass adoption, Bitcoin volatility will be there but it depend on what the market is saying at that particular time. Bitcoin can be trading at $10k and if there is no volatility the price will be sluggish and wouldn't move but the moment there is a big news, you will see that first candle that will come as a result of fomo, everyone will want to buy.

Similarly, Bitcoin is trading at $87k right now, it can nuke down in price if there is any bad news in the market especially now that the price is now a political movement than the usual speculations market traders do follow. Volatility will always be there unless there is no driving force at that particular time.

It is precisely the volatility of bitcoin that attracts investors to invest in bitcoin and altcoin. They like this because if it is more stable we cannot get big profits. Moreover, this new altcoin also opens up opportunities for cities to be able to get big profits. Although the risk is also greater, it all depends on the analysis and consideration of each in taking risks and investment opportunities in crypto, which is based on the experience we have.

The characters from the Crypto market are always volatile and this is what makes it difficult for many people to predict price movements.

If you look into the current trend of BTC, I must say that the notion of a market struggle is not entirely accurate in this case. The signal is up for Bitcoin, and if any person is still on the fence just because altcoins have not moved up also they are missing something that has happened repeatedly in the past. BTC has always been the bear in the crypto market, while the altcoins have remained the bulls in the subsequent part of the same cycle. If someone just waits for the price to go lower without knowing that BTC also has the possibility to grow even higher, then such a person may miss the opportunity. Fear on the other hand leads to excess degraded the decision making process, when people make their decision they delays too much only to realise the market is not going down as they predicated, the price will be higher.

Yeah, high volatility is where savvy investors make huge gains, and also how the market wrecks inexperienced ones, that's just how finance works. Plus, crazy swings get BTC noticed, making the whole crypto scene more exciting.

But, historically, we're seeing BTC price zone shrink each cycle. This might mean BTC settling into a strategic reserve asset. Personally, I don't fear volatility, I just aim to be experienced enough to ride those waves and grow my stash ^^

       -      If bitcoin is no longer volatile, then most likely the other top-listed cryptocurrencies in the market will also be meaningless in my opinion. Because traders' profits depend on volatility, if it weren't for volatility, no whales or institution investors would have the interest to invest in bitcoin and the top altcoins.

So for me, it's unlikely that Bitcoin's volatility will disappear, that's why we are doing long-term holding in other altcoins and bitcoin
because of the volatility they have.

On the norm, Altcoin's volatility should have nothing to do wit bitcoin's volatility, that is, every asset in the cryptocurrency market should be able to stand on its on with out being manipulated by the market condition of any cryptocurrency.

But unfortunately, the problem we have and still face today is that Bitcoin still have a very strong hold on the condition of the general market through its market dominance level.
Bitcoin dominating the more than half of the entire crypto currency market in capitalization gives it power to have some strong influence on the market behavior of majorly all Altcoins in the market, so this is why we see that even alts follow suit when ever bitcoin volatility is high or low.

Nothing is stable in crypto because USDT also always changes when converted to fiat, even though the difference is around 1 or 2 digits but it is still unstable.

Yes, it is appropriate to consider Bitcoin as a volatile asset since its price varies with market actions and nobody sets it. This yields the price volatility that can happen randomly, including at such a fast pace. The same can also be said of other stablecoins such as limelight although the fluctuations are not as drastic. This is actually one of the features of the crypto world, which is chosen by those who are interested in finding chances in chaos.

Perhaps such a time will come when the majority of BTC is under the control of a few large companies or individuals, and I see no other way for the volatility to simply disappear. It is logical that at any moment we have at least three types of investors on the market - some who want to sell, others who want to buy and others who just want to hold - now the only question is in what proportion they are on the market and how they influence it.

Then in my opinion, that's why Bitcoin probably reached 100k$ more it is really because of the high volatility of bitcoin has, and even in other top altcoins in the market this is also the same concept why their coins have great liquidity.

What you said is something that is indeed true, because with its fluctuations people can use it to trade and make a profit.

Only a simple calculation in my opinion because the volatile from Bitcoin becomes profitable when the tips to buy below and sell it when the price of Bitcoin above.

It's better to volatile because if I buy Bitcoin in the price of 82,000 dollars with a capital of 2 Bitcoin, then the price of the bitcoin rises to the price of 92,000 then the profit is 20,000 dollars.
After a profit of 20,000 dollars, I am sure I have to wait for the bitcoin to go back down at 82.0000 so that I can maintain the image of the Bitcoin trading itself.

I don't believe Bitcoin will ever stop being volatile, but it may become less volatile in the near future as adoption increases and governments reserve Bitcoin, making sales less frequent and the price more stable.

You can't prevent people from selling Bitcoin when its price rises. As the price rises, selling increases, and then it falls again. Therefore, I believe volatility cannot be stopped, but it can be mitigated as much as possible.
Bitcoin is decentralized no one can control its price that is why it is full of excitement specially during bull season you can really earn on it  by simply buying and holding it and then sell  when it reach the limitations that you set. It is always high on volatility because we have different situation and global news that can affect the price because investors has a different sights on different news and it will be having impact to law of supply and demand and trigger the price to become very high on volatility and that what i have observed on this present time.

I don't like this option, but maybe making it centralized would make its value stable or even tend to be like gold which always increases but slowly... actually the acquisition of all the existing Bitcoin supply by a single entity could also make it controllable, but that would eliminate the unique nature of Bitcoin which is known to be decentralized....

Maybe when Saylor really owns all the existing Bitcoin supply, this really kills the freedom of privacy for a safer money...

Bitcoin volatility will always exist, because that is the character of the crypto market. Even if many people have adopted bitcoin, it is likely that whakes will continue to play their role in the market and make the price of bitcoin volatile so they can profit from the price difference. But maybe if there are many bitcoin investors and it becomes more popular, it is likely that bitcoin will be more stable

Definitely, Bitcoin volatility will be there because it's what drives people to buy Bitcoin as it you can get a short term profit and long term profit, without it even the traders here will be frustrated and I think the inherent characteristics of Bitcoin is volatility that's what so many people has hated it from beginning but as time goes, they learn to accept it.

Volatility is what makes Bitcoin that unique coin and that's what almost every other coins are doing just that it's more of mature and don't crash like other altcoins do because of the available liquidity, other altcoins doesn't have the half of liquidity Bitcoin have.

we could say that people's reluctance to not using bitcoin for everyday transactions can also be because of its volatility but as we talk about the future where bitcoin is adopted globally by the masses and used for everyday transactions, do you think that a time will ever come where bitcoin will not be volatile?

since bitcoin is decentralized and its value depends on the people who holds it, will there ever be a time where its volatility stabilize? are there any ways to stabilize its volatility?

If you’re looking for when the price of bitcoin will stabilize, then it would have to be when it’s not more an asset one can invest into, the one that has effects on the price base on demand and supply. Without this, I don’t think we can ever see a stabilized market for bitcoin. The volatile nature of it is what makes more people to show interest in it, whereby you can get to buy at a low price and sell at an higher price. If it becomes stable and only been used as a means of transaction only, then we will not see it as an investment to rely on for long time profit.

If it becomes stable and only been used as a means of transaction only, then we will not see it as an investment to rely on for long time profit.

Indeed, I also think that if we are looking for the price of Bitcoin to stabilize, it means that we won't do it for tarding again. and this will not be interesting anymore to be long term holding, right?
Because one of the interesting things about Bitcoin investment is the price movement which is indeed with its volatility, with the existence of bearish and bullish cycles as well, this causes the investment to be quite successful, with a price increase that is also very potential. So, indeed, all of this must have its pluses and minuses, so if the price is stable, then there are still pluses and minuses. Personally, I still like things like this.

The question posed by the OP have been ringing in the mind of many Bitcoiners since the recent widespread adoption by different institutions in the world. Greater global adoption of Bitcoin off course is one of the factors that could reduce the volatility of Bitcoin but it'll surely not make it disappear.

 As Bitcoin continue to mature, volatility is expected to decline but it is very likely retain some due to some of it's distinctive properties as well as it's role as a decentralized alternative to conventional fiat
Bitcoin volatility will always exist, because that is the character of the crypto market. Even if many people have adopted bitcoin, it is likely that whakes will continue to play their role in the market and make the price of bitcoin volatile so they can profit from the price difference. But maybe if there are many bitcoin investors and it becomes more popular, it is likely that bitcoin will be more stable

On my economic view, bitcoin volitality is likely to increase as adoptions increases, this is basically due to increasing demands due to FOMO and others factors
Now, these are likely factors that may increase Bitcoin volitality at some points,
1.Fear of missing out(FOMO)
2.Speculators and hype
3. Economic and political factors eg Tarrif war,  War, disasters etc

since bitcoin is decentralized and its value depends on the people who holds it, will there ever be a time where its volatility stabilize? are there any ways to stabilize its volatility?
The volatility in the price of Bitcoin will reduce overtime, but there can never be or come a time when the price will become stable like fiat currencies.
It is important we understand that Bitcoin's value (both it's general and monetary value) is tied to its volatility, the day the price of Bitcoin stops being volatile is the day it starts gaining stand as a currency for peer to peer transactions (that is, many people will start using it as payment for buying and selling), but it also will start losing alot of big investors since most people are investing in bitcoin solely for its volatility and ability to increase in value in a short period of time.

So in other words, we can assume or say that the price volatility is a blessing in disguise, and we shouldn't pray for it to stop.
  Bitcoin volatility is part of the reason that has made it to have value,  as investors are attracted to it because of the significant price change and returns. Just like you have mentioned if bitcoin price where to be made stable, it would not be attracted to investors anymore who are looking for high risk reward and opportunities
