I am really interested why the price of Bitcoin is too stable now, probably no investors to buy Bitcoins?
Or peoples don't trust Bitcoin now?
Probably just a small stable period?

There have been stable periods like this in the past, and it's more than likely staying fairly stagnant because there are very few investors interested in buying enough to start a bull run while there are also not enough people willing to sell right now for it to be worth it.

Since the value is plummeting chances are people still trust it, just people with a lot of money to throw at it aren't doing so right now.

Doing nothing is what Bitcoin does much of the time. Its second favourite thing to do is fall. Rising comes a distant third.

No one's interested in buying. No one's particularly interested in selling. The traders have probably gone to altcoins on Poloniex where there's some real action. They're the ones who drive the price.

And it's easy to forget how many traders might have been burnt by Bitfinex. That was the number one USD exchange. Some might have buggered off completely. Similarly who's to  know how many enthusiasts were lost with the death of Gox? I'm sure it was a large percentage.

I like btc when its doing nothing. Nice and calm.

I remember relatively recently the price hodling steady around $220 for what seemed a very long period. Then it hung around $320 for a while before making the last run up to $700.

We can't expect the price to move too much too often. There will be plummets, surges, and sideway movements along the way. A lot of factor affect the way the price behaves, primarily the supply and demand. It seems to me that a lot are in waiting mode and just going with what the flow of the market gives them.

stable price means there is a balance between supply and demand not what you said.
if nobody buys bitcoin (no investors) it means the price should go down to 0 but when there is the same amount of buy (demand) as there is sells (supply) the price stays stable until this balance is broken in one way or another.

Bitcoin's price become stable because of buyers and sellers are balance, but i think it is just for short time because usualy after halving block happening, bitcoin's price was went down, we can saw last halving block. But it is just my prediction.

First thing, people trust on bitcoin, it is no reason to stable the price of bitcoin, otherwise now bitcoin stable because it is few period of time it will be remain, but after some days bitcoin price have been changed and than it will continue rise.

I personally think that a lot of the traders are back and interested in the market again, and right now the buy/sell orders are basically balancing each other out and no-one is interested in throwing a ton more money at the thing. The market is probably waiting, holding its breath, holding out until some news finally breaks the stagnation.

to answer that you should look at the trade volume and also you should take a look at the transaction volume (number of transactions each day or in each block)
you can clearly see that bitcoin is alive, hot and kicking.

the only reason why bitcoin price is stable is just the same as before is because it is a phase in bitcoin again just as before when traders accumulate more and more at a fixed price before the rise happens.

Maybe because more people became aware about the advantage and benefits that bitcoin has now. Though only few investor are investing buying bitcoin. But most likely, the community are investing in different altcoins were the project is interesting then they trade it to grow their coins, then sell it to convert it into bitcoins.

This happens. It calms down for a month or two sometimes 3 months then it moves with very large fluctuations after that. Stay calm for now just like bitcoin. If you are investing like a 100 bitcoin or more every dollar movement is a big one.

The traders is moving into altcoins because traders will things bitcoin is not giving a potential in this time because the demand and supply are decreasing and I think this situation will always happen untile any things can make a big effect for bitcoin and you can see the volume of trading bitcoin is down.

This is just proven that Bitcoin nowadays is really getting stronger. Because the community is pushing it more to become more stronger including big time investor. Though majority of the people outside this community is don't trust bitcoin now,its just only for now but I do believe one day it will be change all of a sudden. And it will be increase more the price later.

The merchants just loves this, because they do not need to play the volatility game. At this moment there have not been a significant event pushing the price up or down, and we need some stability to show the world that it can be used as a currency, as it's distribution becomes more stable. ^smile^

It also became stable, I think its because of the bitcoin community who did trading everyday all around the world. So traders's in different exchange platform are one of the reason why is this happening. due to without their doing trading a habit in their daily lives it will not be stable like this.

Bitcoin price is based on the transaction usage its mean its depend on the supply and demand, maybe the supply and demand is in equivalent point, so the price is stable, after that there are no big news or bad news about bitcoin so there is no panic buy or people buying bitcoin in bulk, maybe that is some of the reason the price is so stable

I think Reason is simple this is accumulation phase so whales and big traders are buying bitcoin in small amount daily at this lower price to pump it hard after few week. Better to accumulate right now just like them.

a lot of people not investing right now to be honest but i think that it will change in the near future as the price should start growing pretty soon

Why does everyone think Bitcoin is going to go over $10,000 a unit when gold, platinum, silver, palladium and rhodium haven't done that just from worldwide investor pushing. A hell of a lot more people trade in precious metals than Bitcoin so I really can't see it happening.

When forex trading currency pairs you are incredibly happy when you can make 2-3% a quarter but everyone expects a 2000% profit for Bitcoin in a year or two? That's just looney.

Be happy it's somewhat stable. You could easily wake up and wonder what happened to all your money in the middle of the night.

It's slowing down because there aren't any investors that are more confident/negatively looking at the value of Bitcoin right now. Most likely a majority of investors still trust Bitcoin, and we are just seeing a period of minimal volatility like we do see every other few months.

i don't know the exact reason why bitcoin price so stable now but usually bitcoin will dropped or rise up with pretty fast if there is an big issue such as last time bitcoin dropped after bitfinex incident and now it was back to stable but for me the current situations is more better stable than dropped

We will even see a drop in the price as more and more drug dealers and users currently using Bitcoin, start moving over to Monero. Roger Ver and

his followers are currently hyping up Monero as the currency of choice for people who wants more anonymity. Once the shit hits the fan, and some of

these Darkweb sites are closed, people would run back to Bitcoin.  ::)

Does anyone accept Monero? 
I've heard it mentioned, but I've looked at some of the Darknet sites and it looked like everyone was only accepting Bitcoin. 
(I haven't looked in a while though.) 

It all depends on whether the bitcoin network is capable of accommodating the number of transactions that the waves after waves of people start using it. We need to push forward plans scale up- or else other altcoins will soon take over bitcoin.

Nah ,i see why it is the reason i conclude that these monero will circulate on that darkweb market and moatly of the big percent of bitcoin users are onto darkweb market which buying or trading and now they choose monero.for its ,private ,sucure and untraceable features.

Bitcoin want from basically a $1 to over a $1000 in 4 years since its creation. Any known by me precious metal has not achieved that before.
So it is not that loony for people to expect something similar again. And in addition bitcoin is something new, you can't exactly compare it 1:1 to trading commodities like gold IMO.

Stability is all what we want at the moment as too many fluctuations can make the investors lose their money rather than earn profit. The price is stuck at $570-$572 now which is still better and this is because the stability between
the supply and demand and currently, there is nothing that could make the price increase as halving is over long back. There are investors but not more than the sellers.

That can be one reason and the other reason can be that people are more diverting their investments towards altcoin and that is the reason price of bitcoin is not moving up.

it is going to be changed soon, in my opinion the price will be growing pretty soon

I think that the external factors are still not there, fiat currencies are holding up well despite the obvious fixing.  bitcoin will come in to its own when the truth about fiat currencies is mad real.

do not expect bitcoin to fly to the moon tomorrow. i sometimes get the impression that every body is waiting for bitcoin to rise or fiat to fail tomorrow. and meanwhile just holding their bitcoins. if you want to help then use your bitcoin or stop using fiat.

I don't think anyone will accept monero because of it's past.
I started to invest into it about the same time that I heard about some other alternative coins and it just died compared to the other ones that I had.
Don't hold on to them if you have any because I just go rid of my wallet and just forgot about the coins that were in it so they were worthless to me anyways. :-[

It's not 'too' stable because stability is an advantage for us ;) It's temporarily stable because people who own BTCs trust it enough not to sell their BTCs and people who hadn't trusted BTC before haven't been convinced about BTC's future. But stability in the long term should increase the trust in Bitcoin.

so probably after this long time stable price, there will be a high increasing on price?

I think that's why people keep their bitcoins, not buy neither sell them. probably they're already know about this. and voila, we can see the price is stable. it's boring.

I think stable bitcoin price is good thing. Many bitcoin users afraid to wake up and see, that coin lost, for exemple half value. And it stops new people to use bitcoin. Offcourse, stable bitcoin price is bad for people who want for fast profit. But stable price is good for long term bitcoin holders. Bitcoin price now not at the top and it have potential to rise slowly and it's only question of time, when it will happen.

Even looking bitcoin is frozen, there is a volume daily near 400k dollars, soo even with the price not changing a lot the coins keep being traded. I do believe bitcoin community is now waiting some news, about the core as well we keep handling the issue with bitcoin stoled, soo why to make price bigger and those hacker dump those coins.

Dude, seriously?

There will only ever be a tad under 21 million bitcoins. There are currently just under 6 BILLION ounces of gold and that will keep on rising.

Can you see where I'm going with this?

it is that stable because people are not buying a lot of it unfortunately i hope it will change soon though

How many infinite divisions of Bitcoin are there again (0.0000000001)? Bitcoin rose quickly in price from being an unknown, to being the barter method of choice of drug dealers, to being the criminal scammer golden opportunity, then rose quickly as the ultimate scammer Mark (fucked us all) Karpeles faked the price up to $1,200. Of course, $1,200 per coin is a totally unreasonable price and could only have happened with the willy bots help.

Today people want Bitcoin to play in the real world, where normal (honest) trading controls the price (not drugs, not dark web child porn, not scammers, not bots). If that's what you really want then you should be happy it's going up at the pace that it is. Looking at every other investment platform in the history of the world that's a great thing. It could just as easily go down (which they all do eventually). Why not just be happy where it is instead of bitching that it's not outperforming every other investment in the world by 2000%?

I think what happened to Bitfinex recently affects Bitcoin price , although there was similar events before that , and Bitcoin price managed to increase after them , however , there are expectations say that Bitcoin price will start to increase at the first of 2017 .

I hear so many people saying the exact same thing. "It is expected that the price will go up by that and that time" Expected by whom? I am quite active and I am not seeing any people beside the usual dreamer noobs "expecting" the price to go up next year. It's based on nothing.

I think it is because of the way of thinking that it is "only" Bitfinex that put it down and if it will all be taken back or bought back then its price might go back to where it is before Bitfinex massacred the price.

I think it's because there is nothing happened out there. So the price of bitcoin stable and have a big move. If something big happened like bitfinex hack or the halving, it will move the bitcoin's price for sure.

I think there is not big movement on the market value and the economy where the bitcoin is coming is not yet rising that is why bitcoin value was stable in the past weeks and i am wishing that the price of bitcoin will do not goes down instead it would rising a little in this month.

You have  a point pal but  you are included to those who expected that price of bitcoin  would rise  in the future, we really dont know when it would happen  since we are  just  holders and investors  on bitcoin ecosystem but  those  people or company who would  adopt bitcoin and purchase  huge volumes would definitely move the price  of bitcoin.

I am also not sure on why the price is stable because I taught that the price was going to be a little higher at this point but I was wrong.
Hopefully that the price is still going to move up this year.

It actually a good thing now that bitcoin is stable, if it wasnt people wouild be asking "why is bitcoin so unstable"  :-\

I think people are not buying at a moment and may be they are more attracted towards altcoins, but its good to see that price crossed $600 level and hoping to see much higher price in coming months.

i think the uncertainty is over now and now the people are gaining their confident again, and that is the reason that bitcoin is trading above 600$ once again. hope that the price increasing trend will continue for next few months, and the price of bitcoin is going to touch 1200USD level in the end of 2016.

ok, here is the thing:
people holding some bitcoin would like to make some money and see the price go up. so they think of the potential of bitcoin and think bitcoin should be at $1000.
at he same time they are not willing to pay $1000 for a bitcoin. and because nobody is, the price is still well under $1000.

If you look back to January 2015, you'll see we have been going up since then. We bottomed at 150 and we are at 600, so its going up, slowly so it feels like stability.

Its probably because all the people having bitcoins are not selling them and waiting for it to grow higher, and all the investors wishing to buy big amounts are waiting for it to drop lower, so if there will be no selling or less selling and there will also be less investing then it would surely be stable.

Ya it is true that most of them are waiting for the higher price to come so that they can sell, and big players are waiting for lower price to buy, so now the price is stable but last 1 week the price is moved and today it went last seen price is $625. so i think now some momentum is increasing.

You call it stable price? I think this period might be over now. Three days ago price of BTC was sitting on ~$570 and now we have $607
Almost 40 dollars price uptrend. And it might be more - or as some predict - RSI is too high and market will crumble.

   Stability is not when price is around 550 $ for weeks. And its not even around that, it was lower, then higher, take a look at daily highest and lowest, did you?
   Stability is when price is oscillating with + or -  1 dollar maximum. And not for one or two weeks, its when its like that for months.
   For me price f bitcoin is far from stable. This kind of fluctuations and now back on 600 and plus is not stable.

Trading volume, curiousity :)

It's a good thing for bitcoin to be stable but I think price should rise even more and the reason it refuses to do so imao is because of Satoshi's coins and if people know what is going to happen to them in short time then we could possibly see a rise.

bitcoin prices fluctuate, so it must be a saturation point and bitcoin prices will stabilize within a period not specified. after there was news bitcoin prices usually increase.

I belive that bitcoin is going to increase on the comming days.i said it because on some exchange like yobit.net and some other popular exchange that people had placed lots of buy order

After another bitcoin growth rate, we were very shocked at the problems and the corresponding fall Bitfinex cryptocurrency. Therefore, the stability of the bitcoin today is very difficult to say.

Yeah right more price increase will come i think we seen the price right now is very stable at 605-608 but there still possibility that the price will increase more thise following days or weeks..
Just give patience and dont sell and hold tightly your bitcoins.

Or a sudden decline of interest of people resulting to selling their holding that will normally affect the price.  If investor get bored of their stuff they normally switch to another profitable investment that interest them, with limited financial fund others tend to sell their holdings even at a lower price just to jump in a new wagon.  This things always happen. I hope not in Bitcoin though.

also decline could occur because the hacker news, so everyone panic selling bitcoin, such as the case when bitfinex get hackers and prices eventually fall.

Yeah this is what happen too last year so its not new to hear this such hacking exchange site it is just like other exchange site like mtgox and scryptsy before. and now bitfinex.. and i hope it will not continue in the future. .this following year we will not experience the same as right this year.

Bitcoin is stable because it has the highest market volume in all the exchanges and its quite popular cryptocurrency of all time and its continiously developing itself

i hope the rate is up than before because today the rate is down. the price is stable in above $610 for a week or so and my feeling the rate will be up soon. let we see and hope that will be happen.

meanwhile, while waiting the rate of bitcoin is up, i think its better to play with some altcoin and who knows we can get profit too and make our bitcoin stock in our wallet can get grow too  ;D

bitcoin has increased considerably since its creation. we cannot expect it to go very high overnight. stability for smaller period is better than large fluctuations in a short period.bitcoin projected rate in 2018 is very high.

the high projected rate in 2018 is by whom projected and on what grounds?
if bitcoin doubles or triples the fluctuations will become smaller but it is better to just get used to it.

It's not stable, price is always changing, especialy after halving, but i really want to see when bitcoin's price will be stable during long time, for a 5 monthes maybe.

of course it is going to become big in the future, in my opinion the pump is going to continue from 610 dollars now to at least 670 dollars

I think the main reason why bitcoin is very stable so far it is because of the big investors who invested into bitcoin. Moreover there are also big community now in bitcoin world who continually use bitcoin in their everyday lives.

It just took a month of being steady in the lower price but still I wont say it is that stable. Merchants will see some difficulties with its risks. I wont even like it to be stable.

That's wrong in my personality because we can see in this time the trader is more interesting for trading on the alt coin more than just trading in bitcoin caused by that the bitcoin is getting their stabilization because a lot of the traders is joining in the alt coins trading and leaving the bitcoin trading for several times.

I don't think bitcoin prices are actually "stable".. like yea they stay stable for like a month and then boom. a price drop/rise.

When there is no transaction I mean to say that when there is less or same transaction and demand in bitcoin then the price remains stable and after july halving its price is stable since then as the difficulty is increasing day by day.

End of stability period is reality now. We can stop worrying as Bitcoin is now on a rising trend once again.
Market experts say that advancing march has targets at $680 and $720. It is the last chance to buy bitcoin before price will rise to $700+.

i think stable price is very good for merchand, i thnk with stable price at high rate like now can make more investor come, in last year bitcoin price only $300 then today itcoin price stable at $600, it's very interesting to me.

that thing always happen , it depends from news and the other things but if bitcoin gone stable for long time , maybe some people not happy too ,  ;D

In my opinion bitcoin's price is stable because there are not news negative or positive, usualy if there are bad or good news bitcoin's price will going up or going down and there are not new investors.

Bad news always negatively impacts the price, but it's very weird, when there is good news, then there is no reaction in the price at all. For some reason people always have a slight feeling that the price can tank real hard, and thus are ready to sell with even the slightest form of bad news.

The price of the bitcoin is not to stable it all depends about what people are doing with the bcoins if everyone is spending them the price need to rise if we hold the price wont change.

Bitcoin price is volatile and it  never stable  its price, well we can see previous weeks that bitcoins price isnt  moving  huge spike or downs  for how many weeks but still it doesnt consider  that  its already stable as of now we could  see that bitcoin price is gradually increasing already.

I agree with you . until now there has been no negative or positive news that could affect the price of bitcoin. This time even the movement of some very stagnant and fairly no increase or decrease. I hope there will be positive news that could make bitcoin rising price movement.

There are so many people who tthinks that the bitcoin has a stable price or that the price will be such stable as it is right now but what i can tell you is that the price will never be stable otherwise it wont be special to invest with,.

Price of the bitcoin will never be stable not even when he hit the amount of bitcoins that exist never will be stable because other peopel wont be investing with the bitcoin if that happends.

Very stable because people dont do anything with their coin but now bitcoin went a little bit up cause more people started buying.
You will see when even more people buy then it will go up even more and when majority of people dump then price will plummet too.

The bitcoin price is not very stable, its right now semi-stable but its not that you can say that it cannot move all out of a sudden.
There are still options that it can collapse or go up, for a part you are also right about the fact that the bitcoin get less more spent that before.

what the OP mean by too stable, stability is always good, it bring new investors, which will rise stability even more it's a win win condition, never bad even for trading it will bring more trading itself, because more people in play like i said

It will be a pain for traders if there is no movement in bitcoin price for that long. They make money from those little spikes. Remove it and traders will start to look for a new source of income.

This stability in price is sign that Bitcoin begins to be trustworthy for investment. This is what was missing people were too afraid seeing huge increases and decreases in prices. If there was no more trust then price was falling instead of being stabilized. It is showing investors trust. Stable price is always good sign to attract new investments in any market.

bitcoin price is stable because there is no negative news and still people have trust on bitcoin to trade it, if people lose their confidence then the price of bitcoin will fell down, i think people are holding their bitcoin and not ready to sell it, every one is hopping that the price of bitcoin is going to start increasing very soon.

We are slowly recovering from the plummet that made all of August not so exciting. If you have noticed, we have been climbing by about one percent each day for the last few days. That is already a good sign that the bulls are trying to make their presence felt. But I hope it doesn't surge too soon, only to dip once again. A more stable and rather slower ascend is what I would prefer, actually.

Indeed they are just not selling it, there are a lot of people that have no just invest into the bitcoin and are holding it for a long term to make some profit.
In my eyes this can be good but the bitcoin future is unpredictable so we really have to see what the bitcoin is bringing us, its now pretty stable but this also will change soon or later.

when the price of bitcoin is trading in a certain area for a long time then its mean that the price of bitcoin is stable, for example the price of bitcoin is trading below 500$ for a long time therefore we can say that the price of bitcoin is a little stable in the present time.

Because bitcoin is still a very very small market.  

If you want to buy all the gold in the world, you'd need almost 8 trillion dollars.
If you want to buy all bitcoin currently in circulation, you'd need only 10 billion dollars. So nearly 1000 times less.

Bitcoin has way more use-cases than gold, and could easily replace most of the gold market, but not only that, it could also take a big share of money other markets.  

Bitcoin EASILY is worth a multi-trillion dollar market cap. But to reach a trillion dollar market cap, bitcoin needs to be worth much more.

And FYI, a few trillion dollar is not a lot anymore in today's world, especially not for game-changing products targeting global markets.

Apple has a market cap of 0.583 trillion.
Google has a market cap of 0.555 trillion.

Those are large companies, but they are still only companies.

Bitcoin is so much more.

Explain me how bitcoin can stay UNDER a trillion dollar market cap.

It won't stay there, it can't.

Bitcoin will easily be worth $100,000+ based on this alone. And don't be surprised for it to hit multiple millions per coin.

It is not perfectly stable.It keeps fluctuating daily or weekly.The good thing is that it has become less sensitive to rumours and negative news

Sure except Bitcoin in its current form can't take that kind of traffic. A single spammer has proven they can back up the Bitcoin network for days. Good luck with that whole billion users thing.

Yup price is fluctuating from nearly 4 years. We can say it stable door because bitcoin is not centralised and not a biggest stock in the world. We need to see the big and mass adoption for bitcoin to show its potential. Then may ne in future bitcoin price will be stable.

We are down again from yesterday's price and that just goes to show us that bitcoin's price cannot be expected to be stable in its early stage of existence. There are quite a lot of factors that make the price behave that way. I think these fluctuations are going to continue for the next few years until bitcoin has a solid base of users that uses it on a regular basis.

You are right but I already knew this, of course the bitcoin is not stable and its also not predictable, it can go up in a hour but also go down after such an hour.
The bitcoin is fluctuating all the time and is mostly not standing long on one number...

but as of now it is not stable the price is fluctuating it sometimes goes up and down like now it is really unstable and the is the characteristics of bitcoin and we should accept it! but in the past days/weeks it is really stable but now i think it is start moving upward and that is great news to us :D

bitcoin price stable is not about trusted
much peopole still believe and trust bitcoin, you can see in coinmarket cap
transaction bitcoin still high
but now you can see price bitcoin is up again

The bitcoin never been stable, you are indeed right about the fact that its not stable and that it will go upwards but lest hope we can make some profit very soon.
I honestly think we can, the bitcoin price will most likely stable in a couple years from now.

It will go to a higher or lower amount very soon but it was pretty stable due to the fact a lot of people are holding there bitcoins these days.
There are a lot of people that are thinking that the future will be better of the bitcoin and due to this hold the coin.

Cause people are not selling but people keep buying so prices are going little bit up it all depends on where the bitcoins goes to for the price to adjust. I predict it will fall down again once we hit 750 because people will sell all which sucks cause like this we wont get anywhere higher or hit an all time high only if very big investors start buying alot.

Bitcoins' price goes stable because there are no activities yet done by the buyers and the sellers as well . As of now i guess the bitcoin is doing a lot of activities from the exchange because as i noticed its price goes higher but easily goes down just a little bit . Still waiting for the time that bitcoin goes $700 and gets stable like what we had experienced before .

Price of the bitcoin is far from stable and that is because the most of the people are not spending coins at the moment so i think that is the problem of that the price is not rising.

The price of the bitcoin is stable because there are so many Peopel who are not spending coins at the moment and what i do know is that there are allot who dont even know the price of the coin right now.

Yes but the news just influence the people and the people are what makes the price > good news > people buy > higher price. Bad news > people sell > lower price. Also the price is dropping again since yesterday and still going down hoping we won't lose the little progress we made towards 700

It has more to do with that people are just waiting for the price to go up.

A lot people were expecting the price to go sky high after the block halving, but as we all have seen, it didn't happen.

Some of these people are still hoping for it to come and thus keep holding their coins.

as I know that price already rising before halving occur so I guess it was affected to rising because of halving and when halving just occur no price rising because the price already rising,and I think the stable price are now because of its price just reached the stable point like what happening after price rising,and it's really normal

Price of bitcoin is stable for a long time within $600 due to the decreased circulation within users as well traders and other bitcoin promoters. Recently small increase happened when circulation increased but didn't stabilize much, which is now decreasing.

Inflantions and fluctuations are just normal on bitcoin price since there are factors that do affect on its movement. Previously bitcoins price become stable a quite time then it suddenly rises and now it start to go down again. Same as you said we really dont know what would be the price on upcoming events or time,

I agree, also with more exchanges being hacked the trust in them is lower and lower
But price stability in long run is gr8 its one of the major chain needed for Bitcoin to full bull mod and become mainstream
With high pump and dump no sane person gona have trust in bitcoin

I think stability is a good thing as long as in the long term the price goes up. People don't really want volatility. You will have more people trusting bitcoin as a store of value and an investment if it is stable but increasing.

Bitcoin is really not that stable on market i saw the fast drop of bitcoin since im always on the market seeing bitcoin drops make me feel sad right now hoping that there will be a chance again to bitcoin abd it will goes up to more than we expected

maybe the stable price is the accumulation phase before "real pump" to $1000.
i think bitcoin will hit the $1000 rate again, maybe end of this year

The volumes are not that high means people are not accumulating, but no one wants to sell but want to keep it until prices too high. If this continues for some time then demand bitcoins will increase and then bitcoin prices will go up. But this year bitcoins has given good % of profits for all investors already.

That was only a stable period for bitcoin's price for sure. Today bitcoin shows slowly going up and I think it will continue to grow. All that story with Bitfinex hacking hit bitcoin  and now it is kinda on reabilitation period. There is no reason for panic or thinking that bitcoin is dead.

Its indeed not stable at all but it will in the future without any doubts because of the fact that the market is gonna be bigger and stronger.
I think there is a good chance that the bitcoin will be stable in 5 years.

for me as a believer we are seeing fluctuations because bitcoin is really trying to stabilized because more and more investors are joining the ride and it is only the early holders who already got big profits whos playing with it and blocking the way to make it successful.

It will be stable on a certain moment but we will see what is gonna happen with the bitcoin, I'm hoping that it will get stable on a time so it can grow all over the world.

If its really gonna get stable there will be investors all over the world without any doubts.

The price has been rather unstable the past few days because it keeps going up and down. The $600 price is still a possibility and anytime we can go back below this range. It's hard to predict what the trend will be in the coming weeks, what with very little news or events to push or pull the price. Maybe this is still a good time to accumulate since price is still at a range that many would consider as cheap / bargain.

Well maybe it is his safezone so price wouldn't be dump for more and price provably go stabilized if we can't really see any movements and circulation of this coin in the market or another thoughs for that is whales are preparing to pump it sp bitcoin would soar and not to be dumped more deeper, but for me anything price of it will be good since we can still earn and get more benifits for it if we well still continue to use bitcoin for more days,

I guess this is just how Bitcoin moves. It rises very quickly and then settles at that price, it also goes down sometimes. If the market moves up and down every single day, then we should all be rich by now for we all can make profit by selling our coins when the price is up and buy if the price is down. Well, you can do that in our current situation but you have to wait for days before the price fluctuates that high/low.

There is not a thing we can do except for hoping the price some day, will become stable. But with so many parties involved, investors, whales the time is thta the price may never become real stable and all that we can hope for is a bitcoin less volatile.

because bitcoin is currently not affected by negative or positive news. no change is too significant.
everyone working on bitcoin would have waited a sentiment that could affect the price of bitcoin.

exactly, in this time the merchant is not easily affected by the bad news that's why the price movement is slow enough, that which we know all bitcoin holder before halving still not yet earn huge profits.

Yeah that's probably one of the causes of the bitcoin price stable. but I'm not sure that all of it causes price bitcoin is stable, I saw that the increase and decrease of bitcoin more affected by mining. So if mining did halving the price rises and vice versa.

price is stable but it doesn't stay stable for long.

usually there is only a short or moderately long period of time that the price is stable and whales are accumulating and then after that period there is a big rise.

this has been happeing for some time and bitcoin is having a slow rise over the months and that is awesome.

For stability issue we can't see the few time only. As we see the price chart for some long period we can too many zigzag in that. We don't stability in bitcoin value We need rising value bitcoin.

so we need a bad news or good news to see a pump and dump? lol i don't think so otherwise bitcoin would be died already, i think the price will move when simply there will be more buyers than sellers

I agree about this, its maybe stable for a while but this will change soon or later without any doubts.
I really think that the bitcoin has a very good future but we still have to see what is going on of course.

but usually also stable bitcoin prices tend to take a long time hinga for months. but I like bitcoin prices stable, because of this many positive impacts. stable prices also i think can make some big companies interested in adopting bitcoin and pay their employees with bitcoin. I hope in the future of bitcoin prices will be very stable and are above $1000 at least. because it will make the future better bitcoin.

same here i like bitcoin to  be stable then slowly  rise in price.  This way merchants will take notice and more adoption will occur without letting the investors interes fade.  As for the stability, I think people have seen  the value of bitcoin and puts demand so they can own even at least a partial  of it to get into the "earning" when it start climbing in price.

Price may seem stable even right now but something is cooking inside may be some whales are planning to pump price hard and right now buying all below $600 slowly.

The price is rather stable for bitcoin, the fact that there is less volume means there is not much going on. The only action can be seen in the altcoin market which had quite some pumps recently.
Question is how long will it continue.

Nothing is stable with bitcoin, price is going up and down almost all the time. And sometimes it goes up or down more then usual, and then people celebrate or panic. Bitcoin is not stable just because its still young, and still bitcoin need to prove it self to the world. Many more will need to adopt bitcoin, and use bitcoin to make it strong and stable. For now bitcoin is easily affected with some bad or good news, couple rich people can move the market probably.
I think bitcoin price will not be stable in next ten years, and maybe even more. Until that time we will see many more rises and drops.

For now bitcoin is stable right for the end of the month bitcoin will be goes up or goes down depends if many users are going to sells their coins into fiat , there are new investors everyday and everytime they going to sell there are alsl investors who selling there coin thats why bitcoin pirce for now is too stable.

Bitcoin price was never stable and never will be.well sometimes we can see small movement but its also 10-20% each day.I don't think any currency have 10-20% movement each day.I think this movement really good for people to believe in bitcoin.you know when big movement happening some people are rich and most of the people are loose their investment.that really bad impact for bitcoin what was happening 2012-2013.So I think this price movement is good.thanks

I think bitcoin prices stable because no transactions on a large scale. if someone has to do maybe it will change the bitcoin price stability, whether it be stable or unstable. Well I guess that will happen when halving or something hacked

The bitcoin block halving happened a long time ago and the next bitcoin black halving will be after 198 weeks, 10 hours, 30 minutes.

The bitcoin price was pretty stable because of the fact that no one was buying the bitcoin or selling it, its that what keeps the bitcoin market alive and going up and down.
Most likely this will happen again anytime soon and its right now not stable anymore what is a good sign in my eyes.

I think the price of bitcoin stable right now because there is no good or bad gossip or issue about bitcoin, so it's make the price of bitcoin stable and i like it when the price of bitcoin stable.

Yes im think so but Im done some research about Bitcoin that Bitcoin have more buyers than the sellers so I thing this is the one factor that Bitcoin price is stable.

The trade transactions is still quite high, but there is something that is known by merchants bitcoin if they raise the price it would market activity was infested with sell orders and their trying to dumping the price of course big trader would take this advantage.

yes it can also be possible but i think it is because that bitcoin is not becoming a stable currency and people are going to trust on bitcoin and therefore they are investing more and more assets in bitcoin and that is the reason that the price of bitcoin is trading so stable.

Not sure where you have read that, but that's not the case since there is still quite some selling pressure on the market. The reason that it isn't affecting the price much at this point is that traders are waiting for something to happen. It's just waiting for the moment one or more major holders will dump a good portion of their coins out of boredom. That's also market action.

Stable price of bitcoin maybe traders are waiting for the price has increased or they may have planned the big holders of bitcoin drive up its price . So it's better to keep aside our bitcoin good sign because it is not quite the price moves he might suddenly be increased by not knowing it .

Stable price as of now means  theres no sellers and theres no buyers  thats the  cause   of which bitcoin price somewhat stable for now. I agree with you  we  must  hold our bitcoins as of now it might increase again same   what happened last previous week which the price suddenly goes up,

I dont think you know exactly where we are today and that is just because i know what the bitcoin will bring in the future and that is far from stable if you can sell them now because the price wont be profitable.

You are right about that, its just that the bitcoin is not stable and that it never been stable but that its a period where people are nothing buying or selling a lot these days.
Due to that the price stays around a certain price range these days.

Why you people are so negative, just believe in bitcoins, you will never get disappoints. Even an active trader should not sell right now as it the right time for buying more bitcoin with speculation of bitcoin prices may test $650 or $700 price levels. Another strong prediction about bitcoin must be $1000 price levels by end of this year.

I am not sure but the Bitcoin price has now been stable for a long time and I want to know when the Bitcoin is going to rise again.
Maybe that is still is going to rise with in 2016or maybe we have to wait until 2017 for something to happen.

Maybe the only reason behind this is that bitcoin's rate will goes up again since it's always fluctuating. It's not possible what you are saying that people don't trust bitcoin anymore since bitcoin helps a lot of people today even those who didn't go to school because of financial problem. Bitcointalk don't require resume, as long as you can share your ideas to someone you can do BCT and earn bitcoin and you can change it to cash for you to have money to spend in your everyday living.

You are right about that, it never been stable and will also never get stable because of the fact that the bitcoin is not something that is a stable investment.
It changes every time, its a plus but also down point of it.

There indeed never been a stable time for it but this will come soon or later, it now been a bit stable because of the fact that nobody was buying or selling bitcoins.
If this is not happening it get a bit stable its logical in my eyes.

It would be  never  be stable since as we all know that one of the characteristics of bitcoin is  its price volatility which means it moves  anytime and doesnt  stable  its price , maybe  we could say somehow that it stabilizes because   the price moves a little  bit like between on dollar cents only but  i doesnt mean that it has stable price as  long there are traders and investors for sure it would move the price.

It can be a point too and many people that keep using bitcoin and makes the price of bitcoin stable and actually the whales can make it change though, but the whales is calm down.

It was pretty stable due to the fact that no one was doing anything with it, no one spent it or bought a certain time period.
Luckily it already has been changed, it is now going up and down again so that is nice.

it is stable only because it is not ready for rise.

the whales and everybody else in the market who is buying is happy with the current price and are not willing to pay more, they are accumulating bitcoin right now but they do it silently before the big rise happens and then everybody will know what they were doing and why the price was stable.

You got it right pal, this is the thing why bitcoins price seems to stable in how many weeks as we observe because  there are  no sellers and theres no  buyers thats why bitcoin price move only a little bit, it goes up and  down with a little dollar value. If whales would  do some acts then for sure it would  move the price in big gaps.

it is to be noticed that the many persons are looking to invest in ether . many person are selling btc and doing work in ETH so there is more stability in bitcoin than other currency in these days .

yap this time, trader began cautiously in raising and lowering the price because it's been many believe if holding bitcoin for long run because they believe can benefit just by holding it.

for now, i think it will be stable for few days and after that there are movement but i don't know this will be down or will be up, its only depend on the market, how the people will react with bitcoin, how the order sell and buy will move.

see the movement of the market is certainly very stable. even a reduction and an increase not seen. I agree that bitcoin prices should be stable as it is today. because with the price stability bitcoin will make trusted by the market.

I think it is pretty stable not because no one  bought or spent something.  I think it is because people are in waiting mode now and that the trading that happen during these days are  done by those regular users of bitcoin.  Not much of new investors coming in and not much of the dumpers of BTC.

I have seen bitcoin price stable several times before also and big dump / pump after price remain stable for around a week or 10 days. May be this constant price also bring another pump or dump.

It is known judging by past performance, that Bitcoin enters a period of stability everytime a huge boom + bust happens. In january 2015, the price was 150, so if you pay attention, you will see that the price is actually going, but very slowly so it appears stable.

Once the next boom cycle happens, we will see 4000-8000+.

The bitcoin price was very stable because of the fact there where no events with the bitcoin, it did not got bought or sold and that is why it was stable in that time.

honestly wondering the same thing. bitcoin has always been fluctuating ever since i decided to buy into it. but the past couple months its just been stuck around 600. i used to think it was because of bitfinex but thats long past and its still 600.

Andreas Antonopoulos says that price stability (or lack there of) is one of the major missing pieces to mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. I think stability is just what is needed.

Because there's no action  ;D

People are still wary after the Bitfinex hack, and there's usually a stable period after these things level out. Maybe if something big happens, we will see a stable increase again.

The price is stable because the Bitcoin ecosystem is now dozens of small exchanges instead of a few large exchanges that control the price. All that Chinese crap with 1,000,000 volume per day is obviously fake.

When nobody spends/buys/sells coins then prices tend to be very stable cause there is not a big change in the amount of coins.
But when alot of people buy coins then theres less coins left making them more valuable so right now it's stable cause theres not alot of investing into it.

in my opinion the stability in the bitcoin price ia the mining of bitcoin which is in very small in these days , so news coins after mining the bitcoin world don't gives effect on the bitcoin rate because they are generating in small amount .

thats right stable because its quite been in a good chain now the more people using it and not storing it to a wallet or exchange make it established for quite  a while hope we see much better price in this coming days to come.

miners dont have  connections on the stability hence they are just supplying  the demand for bitcoin. As we saw on the price of bitcoin its almost on idle  because    on my view there are no active sellers and  big potential buyers  on bitcoin as  of  these days thats why  bitcoin price move only a little  amount of $ as the day goes by.

It doesn't exactly mean there are no active sellers or big buyers, it just shows the market is pretty much balanced in terms of supply and demand, miners included.

There is no problem if the price is too stable because from what I have seen people are worried to keep and use bitcoins because of the un-stability in its price, so I hope more users will use bitcoins now :)

this so called stable price period will soon end, don't worry.

between segwit releasing and the whales accumulating during all this time and also add to this the drops and access to super cheap coins the price will soon rise at least to $800

The price of bitcoin is so stable cause the income outcome is very similar and when big investors will invest alot of money then the price will go up alot again.
That's why we need more shops toa ccept bitcoin so more people will invest in bitcoin and then we go up in value.

to me the only reason is that people still believe on bitcoin.

Well, maybe the sales and purchase bitcoin done normally, so bitcoin prices stable in the long term. even though it happened a long time, but if no investor is buying or selling large amounts of bitcoin, bitcoin prices will remain stable. however, I think it will be over soon, as I am sure many investasor that came before this year ends

Theres no bulk of buy and sell right now. We know that only those whale can do big movement in price or a new big time investors. Well its okay to me if its stable right now rather than moving downward.

I think because there is no action or news that could significantly affect the price of bitcoin. bitcoin price movement is still not affected at all. that's what makes the price of bitcoin so stable.

The price of the bitcoin will never be stable because he is not stable at all some times he will rise allot and some times he will off course also drop becaus that is what the bitcoin is.

it will be depend on how the demands if lots of people will use bitcoin and allow them to be use just like a normal currency we will expect that price will be more stable right now it always depend with the users, community plays alot regarding to price spikes.

I dont think the price of the bitcoin is to stable how can he be to stable the price of the bitcoin is far from stable dont you see the price drops that he some times does.

The price of the bitcoin is not stable at all what we know about the bitcoin is that he is going to rise when we are spending coins like idiots and dropping when the coin is not working enough.

I dont think you know much about the bitcoin because i know that the bitcoin price is far from stable because you need to know that the price will always change never be stable for one day.

You take the thread title a bit too serious I guess. I am quite sure OP meant to say why the price is relatively stable, and not fixed stability. Either way, I think the price will keep moving in the $590-$610 range where I might be off a few bucks here and there, but there is no incentive in the market to go up. The waiting game continues...

Price of bitcoin isn't stable, it just look like that when you are looking from far away. From that point you can say, hey price is around 600 $ for some time, what is happening?
After halving and nice going up we saw how one more bitcoin exchange found down. We should be lucky that price didn't drop under 500 $. But even after that drop, bitcoin is going up, and I think after we settled here on 600 $, we can go more up.

price is called stable when there is little fluctuation for a considerable period of time and right now we are in such period that price is only moving around $600 with $10-$15 up and down.

and if you look at the bigger picture you can also see the horizontal line too but the over all price is rising compared to each month before it.

According to other comments here almost they are right because bitcoin is unpredictable and bitcoin price is always depends in demand and supply its not  the same as local currency that has stable price.
If bitcoin will be locally accepted and they made it as local currency expect for the price will be more stable.. than before.

It will get volatile again, before getting more stable. Don't worry.

The bitcoin was simply so stable because of the fact that there was no event that pushed it up or down and no one was also buying or selling in that time.
Simply due to that it was for a certain stable back in the days.

I agree it seems this is the actual price value of bitcoin at this point and it will more likely move  on whatever next event will occure.  Correction price o f this phase is done in my opinion. And  I hope it wont be a bad press because it will surely go down.  i'd rather have no event than having one but will push bitcoin price down trend.

Isn't that supposed to be a good thing? I always read in this forum that if bitcoin price becomes stable, more people will consider using bitcoin. And that will drive the price higher. A steady increase is even more favorable.

The bitcoin price was indeed stable because of the fact that there was nobody selling but I think as soon as this wil happen again we can expect some nice price increases.
Its just a matter of time and patience we need right now.

Your are right, bitcoins  price stability as of   today and   to  previous weeks and  months because  there were no active traders  and   investors  on bitcoin ecosystem which it make the  price  of bitcoin  moves.  If it doesnt move means no  activity is happening  on it. You are  right patience is we need right now.

i would like to see a stable price for the coin to get some legitimacy in the economic world, most countries are learning about the new technology,if not for the stability it would be difficult for investors to believe the nature of their funds in the long run,in the mean time traders doesn't like the stable price ,i can understand that.

yes man the fluctuations really attract those who's willing to risk because if they got in with a good entry they will able to profit with this fluctuation and keeps repeating it from time to time.

The price of the bitcoin is not to stable i think there would be allot of people not happy about it when the price of the bitcoin is going to be stable you know bitcoins needs unstable prices other wise it wont such popular

If you think that the price of the bitcoin is stable riught now iu dont think you should use the bitcoin anymore because he is never stable not even for 24 hours so how can you think he is stable/.

The price of the bitcoin to stable i dont think the price is to stable because lots of people aree not looking at the price right. They are only seeing that he is around the 600 and off course he wont change lot.

The price of the bitcoin is not to stable it is only that you need to sell bitcfoins and not only holding bitcoins because if we are only holding there wont change anything you know.

Do you really think that the price of the bitcoin is stable i dont think you have the right information becuase when the price of the bitcoin is stable no one would invest with it because you wont make more profit.

I think that the bitcoin price is o stable because many people are not spending there Bitcoin but holding on to them and that it why the price is not moving.
I hope that the price is going to rise fast because I cannot wait anymore.

The price of bitcoin being too stable can have multiple causes for example if people don't invest so don't buy bitcoin then the demand goes down.
When demand is low then price is either stable or it will go down depending on how low the demand is. So for higher prices we need a higher demand of bitcoin.

I think it will stay stable for a little bit longer as we can see the price right now is the same as it was weeks ago.
Bitcoin demand has been down for a while and I think the price only went up because of a very big pump about a month ago now. So it was essentially "manipulated" by big parties I believe.

It was pretty stable but it will not take a long time till it will be rising again because the bitcoin is growing and due to that it will get to a higher amount for sure, I have no doubts about that.
I think that we can say that that it was stable because there was nothing happening.
