It should be stable in order to be usable for planning.

cuz even other cash isn't SO "stable"

Other cash is inflationary, so this is incorrect comparison.

and because deflational nature of BTC, its can only rise. and seriously.

It already fall before this post for more then 50%. So the 'it can only rise' statement is false.
If BTC will rise less then 2% per year - it is ok for me.

I know that you are russian, so we can continue to discuss this topic in russian section of the forum.

When a large and liquid options market develops.

How large the market should be ?
Is it possible to achieve stability without options market ?

I'm not sure if I can say exactly, but I know FreeMoney will be writing a piece about options for the next issue of the Bitcoin Sun.

The market is way too thin right now, and the rate of adoption is expected to be exponential so you won't see long term stability (1+ year) until BTC is making the front page of some popular daily newspaper in every country of the world

Forget about BTC/fiat price stability for a very long time.
