Low volatility doesn't mean stable. Bitcoin has experienced periods of low volatility many times, however this doesn't mean bitcoin is stable, not even close. We all know it doesn't take much for bitcoin to explode, either up or down. That's absolutely still in the cards, I mean everyone is waiting for the next bull run and some people are waiting for a big crash.

It's like saying, this bomb is stable because it hasn't exploded yet.

why would we want it stable when it's so under valued currently  8)

When I say it has 'increased stability' I used the word stable, but that doesn't mean it is stable.
Fiat currency are also not stable but have 'increased stability' when compared to Bitcoin.
Less volatility means more stability'.


Or saying the bomb has exploded and the dust is now settling down (preparing for another explosion, maybe)

in my opinion you are too hard on what people say. being "stable" doesn't mean it is always going to be stable. but it is currently stable. which is the same as having low volatility at the moment but that doesn't mean bitcoin stopped being volatile.

this is a trend before the rise begins.

The price of bitcoin is very volatile. It does not mean that if its value is low then it will now be stable. That's why we called it volatile because yes its price indeed now is very low but there will still be the chance that it will go back to normal or even higher price it's not just now. No one can predict its timing if it will start to get normal again.

Yes, you are really right. This is written by people who are recently on the market or in a comic form.

I don't think people really mean it in that way. I think it started when Tether lost hold of its peg while Bitcoin was retaining value well. Then this added to the hype:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-02/s-p-500-s-wild-ride-makes-u-s-stocks-more-volatile-than-bitcoin

People then just started saying that Bitcoin was the new stablecoin lol. But yeah, what they usually mean is low volatility. I'm pretty sure no one expects this trend to stick. It's a minor semantics issue.

well bitcoin is stable! so you can call it "stable" but calling it stable doesn't mean it will not start being volatile again. and I believe that is what most people who call it "stable" mean. I don't think anybody has the delusion of thinking this is it, and we will stay at $6300 forever. everyone knows that the rise will start soon and we will see the same thing as we always do.
and don't forget that this is not the first time bitcoin became "stable". the last long time was back in 2015 when price was stuck at $220 for a long time. and bitcoin was "stable" back then too.

Yep, how can you tell a coin stable when you want it to go on higher price and even go down? People are mistakenly saying this all the time.

Probably they are referring about the 6K usd market price stabilization though generally bitcoin will not become stabilized due to its current system that is decentralized. It may be better if we will not consider bitcoin market price stabilization. I agree with you OP. We should stop calling bitcoin stable in its market price.

bitcoin price is so undervalued right now and yes bitcoin is not stable currency bcz it is crypto currency.currently the price of bitcoin is so volatile and market cap is also low.bitcoin price will be stable very soon.

You meant the price could rise anytime? Okay I think so. Bitcoin price could not be stable yet, actually bitcoin market is being played now so you guys must aware about the price chart. Bitcoin price will not going down because actually bitcoin demand is big but there are some big investors who sell their bitcoin gradually. Bitcoin price will be more stable when less people who become bitcoin trader.

They can surely call it whatever they like even if it is stable for now or low stability or just stable it is up to them, I really think many that are calling bitcoin stable are just new to this forum or new to bitcoin or they are just being sarcastic in saying it, We can not know what they might think or sometimes the understanding of the volatility of bitcoin is just so little.

I know you only want them to learn but that is what they know about bitcoin, But if you have said that bitcoin's price is stable it means that it is firmly fixed so I think I understand what are you feeling there might be some newbies who would misunderstand bitcoin's movement.

Of course bitcoin will remain volatile because its based on speculation. But people is saying that its somewhat stable because of the current movement of its price, probably its been more than 3 months (after bottoming) that we have seen the price just moving around the $6k-$6500k price range, so definitely there's some truth on it being stable at the current time. But eventually it will move and fluctuations will rise again. Its that its possible to see and experience low volatility from time to time.

The price moves slowly on the market doesn't mean stability, the price changes everytime even low or high and it is volatility. There is a chance that the price will bull at any moment. Price does not move for a long time is what you called stability like fiat, bitcoin is not. Wait some time and people won't think that it is stable anymore.

Bitcoin's volatile nature will never be removed due to it being a free-for-all market. It experiences a short stint of low market activity, but yes, that doesn't mean it's being stable or it will be any sooner. I like to picture bitcoin as a bomb with an external triggering device that could go off any second. Sure there are times when the bad guys don't want anything to happen but it doesn't mean that the bomb lost its potential to explode. Right now, there aren't any reason to get the price going up that's why everything seems stable.

Bitcoin if you consider from past couple of months it is hovering between 6-7k range only and we all know how volatile this crypto market is. So considering that fact I would say last few months have being quite stable though we had some ups and down as well but that is expected. Yes the current market is undervalued and hopefully if things remain good we will soon have a huge demand in the market.

If you have study bitcoin very well one of it clear feature is volatility and that means it price in the exchange market can never be stable due to this, and since it operate on the economic law of demands and supply there will be constant volatility because the demand can never be the same but as investors we all hopping for another bull run again in other to make profits out of the market.

You are right , it is not rather it fluctuates to and forth like a oscillator.

Bitcoin is stable at the moment but that does not mean that Bitcoin is a stable coin and as you said a lot of people if not all are waiting for the next bull run. I believe whoever describe Bitcoin as stable he/she just meant to describe the situation at the current moment not describe Bitcoin itself, in fact, we can describe the whole market situation at the moment as a stable period but we all know that not gonna last forever and will change very soon.

Bitcoin's value will never be stable until it will be fully adopted and used as a currency and once it'll reach its supply limit.
No one can really predict what will happen to the values of bitcoin.

I just don't know why some are claiming to be experts when all they did was just speculating.
We can speculate anytime we want, since there are no facts that can back up the fluctuations of bitcoin's value.

The value of bitcoin is determined by the adoption and usage of the people to the crypto.

I would not say Bitcoin is stable, but it is getting more stable, than in the past, that is what I see. And I know, it is tricky, seems like it is not able to move any direction, and than suddenly we will see a huge pump (hopefully :) )

Now bitcoin is massively buying American private foundations.

At the same time, transactions take place outside cryptocurrency exchanges, so you cannot see the growth of a coin. When it is profitable, the bull will show itself.

   Wow, a battle of different opinion on "STABLE"?  some would say that it is stable on the market as Bitcoin status, i would say that Bitcoin has a good fundamentals, clear market structure, with high consumer's confident as posted in the market, Status of one coins remains Volatile as applies to all in the crypto market, it all dependent on the volume of investment put in by the investors, again it is individual opinion on whether or not Bitcoin is stable? Market is Volatile.

" What you see is what get "  ( as the saying said )  , that simply means you should only believe on what you currently see and not on the usual fact .  if you see that bitcoin is stable it is really stable but if not then dont .


Yes some transactions are outside the crypto exchange but you can still see it because all transactions are still recorded on the blockchain .  all transaction can still cause a chain reaction .


What ? Bitcoin is buying ? Lol no , bitcoin is not a person or controlled by a person therfor it cannot possibly buy property or foundations .

This is it. It will take years before bitcoin becomes even remotely stable but because the market price has been sitting around the same price these days, people say it is stable. Besides, if it's already stable, then how come nothing changes in the market? People say stability will make companies want to adopt bitcoin but has it happened? No. Absolutely not yet.

Stop calling the global markets "stable" they are not.

Low volatility doesn't mean stable. The global markets have experienced periods of low volatility many times, however this doesn't mean the global markets are stable, not even close. We all know it doesn't take much for the global markets to explode, either up or down. That's absolutely still in the cards, I mean everyone is waiting for the next bull run and some people are waiting for a big crash.

It's like saying, this bomb is stable because it hasn't exploded yet.

;)

The Bitcoin market just happens to be faster, with shorter boom-bust cycles than most other markets. Still a good observation OP and an important one to keep in mind, lest one deems one too safe for their own good.

  We may can say bitcoin is not stable due of its high volatility but we can not stop take this asset. Even if bitcoin is not in agood condition, we have to hope for its massive pump will appear and the bearish market will be break down.

Bitcoin cannot be called stable because it is unpredictable . Now, there may have been some lull before the storm, no one can say anything forward and where the bitcoin price will go up or down .

I personally do not think Bitcoin is stable because it is still at the stage of its formation and in any case it will constantly increase and decrease in price until it reaches the capitalization it needs

I am not agree with you on this. I would never invest again the bitcoin and wait for the price raise. I believe that the bitcoin is stabilized in 2018. After the big raise and fall in 2017 the bitcoin price had to slow down and stayed between $6,000 and $7.000 and doesn't change anymore. I believe that the bitcoin is becoming a currency like the others like dollar or euro.

Nothing is stable for 100% but to my mind it is more stable than the rest of coins and moreover this coin is the best one in terms of its benefits and potential. To my mind, it is better to use it for the long-term

people say that he is stable for the last six months and this is indeed the case

IMO, it's already reach the highest peak on last Nov 2017 and decreasing until optimal position, as you can see the stable value at the moment.

Of course I'm still believing on crypto so that's why I keep hold it because digital transaction has high demand in the future and cryptocurrency become the option for people to transaction.

Yash i agree with you, bitcoin never will be stable, the current market condition just need a matter of time to boom a bull run.
Even some whales want crasher market to buy more at dips

stable? what thing that you say stable exactly? Bitcoin cannot be said stable because it is unpredictable. Up and down always happen, it take turns but has no pattern. Yet, low volatility doesn't mean stable, and bitcoin just happen to be faster. Just wait and see, everyone indeed waiting for the bomb to explode and get what is expected.

The price of bitcoin and even the market will never be stable simply because of the fluctuation. We all know that the supply and demand of cryptocurrency especially bitcoin always fluctuate in the market which lead to changing price so how we can say that it is stable. I think you can say that it is stable once there is no one who willing to sell their bitcoin and the price will stuck up or the volume will go down.

Yes, right. we all make panic-based assumptions especially for bitcoin.
I say this decline has happened many times like you said, this will continue at the end of the year in December. so be prepared

therefore, whenever it will never be able to stabilize because all this time the price of bitcoin has always changed every second, the most suitable bitcoin is said to be like a dollar that often experiences price changes

We can not call bitcoin a stable currency, it can fluctuate months, days, hours, seconds

bitcoin hit critical mass and exploded, now slowly collapsing and gathering masses. again it will hit another bigger critical mass and explode with bigger bang, the cycle continues.

I agree! Lets accept the fact. Bitcoin is not stable. And I think a very long period of time or a very long process before bitcoin will achieve it  because the gold did not achieve the stability status until now. For me I consider bitcoin as a business and lwe know that businesd did not have a stable status. I think we do not need to wait the stability of bitcoin because when we focus on this we will be not motivated so let's just be go with the flow on bitcoin industry even it is stable or not because of you have a great strategies even bitcoin is not stable you will be successful.

Eversince I joined or involved to bitcoin the price of bitcoin is going up going down and no days, hours, minutes, and second that bitcoin stop from changing its price. Bitcoin can't be stable. Even the oldest member of bitcoin can't say when it will be stable or when it will be stable.

Definitely bitcoin is not stable and even all the kind of cryptocurrency was also not stable. And I believethat even the real investments out there in our business world was lso unstable so what I mean is it's all up to you on how you play the game. It's all up to you on what tactics and strategies you wil use to be able to win it.

Do we have any bomb diffusion experts who can keep it stable for a few months longer? The ETF guys prefer bitcoin to be stable, the volatility is one reason why they keep rejecting it

From first day till now one thing is telling by every one and that is crypto market is very risky and it can not controlling by a central authority so it can not be stable but some time it moves by forces when demand rise the price show upward movement and market become bull and vice versa and bitcoin is stable when the people have a strong trust on it and they keep this currency for long time so the speculative activities will be less and stability will be increases at that time.

In my opinion People who saying bitcoin is Stable because they just compare bitcoin price in 2017 and 2018, in the last year we have seen the price movement very fast but it is not happen in this year but of course that is not mean bitcoin price is really stable because bitcoin is a crypto currency. The value of crypto are made fluctuate.

I agree! Standard currencies are not stable and are known to constantly increase and decrease in value, so why would cryto currencies be exempt from this. Crytocurrencies, like stocks, bonds, and gold, are an investment that always run the risk of decreasing.

yes bitcoin is unpredictable. it could suddenly rise or fall in a long or short period of time. That's mean bitcoin is not stable at all. No one knows what will happen tomorrow or later

In the cryptocurrency market, the whole cryptocurrency is not stable and I think this is what attracts people. I think that's a plus not a minus.

Completely true. Everywhere i look everyone talks about being stable as if it would be useful to be stable. Even if the result of the explosion will bad Bitcoin will recover again. Just because everyone has compared Bitcoin to the previous year and they have come to this conclusion. Before reaching this conclusion need to investigate thoroughly.

ETF did not reject bitcoin they just extent the date for take decision to approve or reject bitcoin. i think ETF will not reject the bitcoin because if they want reject they will take quick decisoin for reject but didn't . they will approve and now all traders are calm just for approved bitcoin By ETF.

I want to believe when people say the price is stable, they are not referring to it volatility but the price has maintained a steady range for a long while. It's just a misconception from most people.

Please, lets take this easy with ourselves. For one to say Bitcoin price is stable doesn't mean that in the real sense it is but comparing the last days in the year of 2017 to that of 2018, one would say the price is pretty stable because of it fluctuation. In my own analysis, i would say that the price is more likely to be called a "stable price" pretty one like that mate.

Let us put in mind that we have different understanding and beliefs. If someone tells that bitcoin is stable maybe he/she find a reason about it. That is why it is good to respect their beliefs. For today it is clearly to see that bitcoin is unstable because of its price.

I get what you are saying, nothing is really ''stable'' but yeah, people might be getting a little to comfortable. This is exactly the best time for bitcoin to experience a big move (could be to the upside or the downside) when everyone is looking somewhere else. I truly believe bitcoin will be able to recover somewhat, maybe hit 10k again, we have seen pretty good news this whole year really.

In my opinion, this has all been known for a long time; if someone talks about stability, then this concerns the price of bitcoin in the short run. Of course, such conversations can be misleading for newcomers, but they can also figure out the situation by following the course change for two to three years.

In the short run it can be stable but in the long run no one knows what will happen but it's more likely to be volatile than stable.

We can not call it stable because it will fluctuate day by day, but it is still in a stable state

Everybody saying bitcoin is stable because stable moves at the price playing low volatility
Stay their price at the slow movements of fluctuations are enough for the holders rather than to quick dumped
The bomb are waiting to explode next year be patience

Stable coin if btc backed by something like usdt or tether. This bitcoin is so volatile, after hit its ATH then its already down about 3x from the ATH. Then we are waiting fot the next explode, at least its will recover as soon.

Can't really have that without a large entity fixing its value to stuff they control. This mentioned stuff would have to be something essential to most of us.

With that kind of power they could force people into their own coin instead though.

That is true bitcoin it will never be stable many of who don't  really understand that saying bitcoin is stable but that is wrong bitcoin was always fluctuated. Bitcoin right now was falling but a little bit rising so that this is not stable stop saying bitcoin will stable value. The fluctuation  of the value was enough for those traders and investor and it will never be stable.

Bitcoin price is more stable right now compared to last months/years, thus, I don't expect this situation will last forever and there will be a huge mouvement (according to many experts in the field).
Maybe it is "the calm before the storm" though.

I agree with you that you should stop calling it stable because Bitcoin is never stable, Bitcoin is always a bit of a break because it's the nature of the Crypto market. The Crypto market always attracts investors because it is still so unstable, so stop thinking about stability.

Yeah bitcoin is not a currency that the price always stable, it has high change between years and years, so if you want to play bitcoin as a trading or an investment you have to know the risk.

You can see for yourself the movement of the bitcoin price at the moment, it only changes around $100 when the market increases and decreases, changes from $6500 then to the price of $6400 then come back again, I think in recent months the price of bitcoin was stable. However, I don't know what will happen in the future, it could be that the price of bitcoin is volatile again as before.

Bitcoin price will never be stable, maybe it plays at some rangs but you will see that still there are changes on it. That is because is volatile and it depends to the demand of bitcoin in the market if its go up or down. But for me its better as it is volatile because the more chances we can get profit.

Can any crypto achieve stability though? It that even possible?

Digital Currency will never be stable. People can manipulate the prices to the extent that they can make it drop to 50% price. Why would you believe Bitcoin is stable if you already experience how value become so volatile.

need to remember the price of bitcoin is always changing. it is very easy to get profit in bitcoin which is important you can be patient, always monitor price growth, not panic, calm in knowing prices go down and up, there are many opportunities to earn profits by trading and investing.

Thinking like you is far better than people who always complain about the price of bitcoin on the market because even though the price of bitcoin will never be stable because the price of bitcoin always moves both up and down. Right now, we just have to use the movement to make a profit.

I know many will not believe or support this because they believe Bitcoin should moon this year to high price but still swinging around in $6k+ area which to me according to TA is not normal and it suppose break the $6k but couldn't, and it show clearly that the market is fully in manipulation line which has made it hard to dip below that line and it has no strength either to surge up cause the EMA needs to cross each other most especially ema200 but still way far at $2k+ area but whales never allow it to that level.

According to what I know, bitcoin is a town that is fluctuating day by day because nobody knows how many people will participate in it today, so no control over demand

I agree with you, it is not. He is not stable but practical and able to increase your funds at times.

Bitcoin is not stable and will never be as far as it is still decentralized. Bitcoin is speculative and the movement is always volatile, that the market is quiet now does not mean that bitcoin movement is now stable. It can be bullish or bearish at any moment from now. I think the only issue, in my opinion, the announcement of SEC on ETF, I believe is the reason why bitcoin market price as if it is stable.

True. Also, when we saying "stable," we mostly mean stability for a low amount of money. If you traders thousands/hundreds of thousands/millions of dollars, a low volatility is enough to trade. So it really depends on the amount of money that is at stake.

I say it is stable on bitcoin if indeed the market price is stable if it is not stable, I will not say stable and at this time this year I will not say stable because this year is like a drastic decline

I think this is bad when I say it's unstable this year, the fact is that this unstable price affects bitcoin in the present, hopefully next year it will be stable

We can call Bitcoin stable in the period in which it is stable. for example, from September to November, he was more or less stable. But of course, if we consider the period of 2 years, it is impossible to talk like that  about Bitcoin

then what would you call a price change that only spins at $6k in the past few months? Do you think this is not a stable price? I actually think that it is very possible in some time the price can be stable and can fluctuate according to the existing demand, supply and conditions at that time

I said stable, stable, said it was not stable, so it was not stable, and I was thinking, how to be stable, I worked hard to stabilize bitcoin now, the performance is not stable.

Bitcoin price is stable in the last 3 months but this price is really undervalued. Miners are in losses, investors are in losses to. Bitcoin price should be atleast $10k+ now but it is a matter of bad news that Bitcoin price is not going to increase soon, no symptom is visible.

I can somewhat agree with you but I will still say that bitcoin stable because of  the current market position bitcoin is still around $6500.

The Bitcoin price will never be stable, maybe it plays in some echoes but you will find that there are still changes on it. That is because it is volatile and it depends on the demand of the bitcoin in the market if it goes up or down

Yes it is not stable. But it is kinda controlled. Its volatility seems controlled as of now because it is kinda stable. It is not stable as what the definition of stable is but the point is it is not dropping that low and not rising that high. That's what I also think and I just want to make my point clearer to you as well as the others. Bitcoin will never be stable I guess, but soonest it will rise that 'high' as what I've said.

Bitcoin is definitely not a stable cryptocurrency at this stage and I don't see that we can expect stability from it at least for some years as Bitcoin is still in the basic phase of development. Bitcoin is a part of the wild Crypto market which is highly volatile in nature and demand over the period of time would definitely affect the price of it.

Lol better say that its the manipulators who makes this market move,like the pumping thats happening then ithey are the one who’s responsible for the price dumping
But you are right about bitcoins comparable to bomd that any moment can explode even if this took a very long time

bicoin is not stable if we compare bitcoin with the other currency, but we can call bitcoin stable if we compared bitcoin with other cryptocurrency, like the XRP, XLM and other cryptocurrency

In confirmation of these words, today Bitcoin has ceased to be stable and has fallen. I hope we don't reach prices in 3000 or 1000 $.

i love the defination bomb which hasn't exploaded. That ind of comments make people happy and hopeful:) But the goverments and third parties are trying to make Bitcoin stable. Thats right.

Yes Bitcoin is not a stable coin but as of now it is like a stagnant water which is not flowing but some people like the price to go down because they want to buy more and they want to buy more  Bitcoin , and the others wants the bull run since they have already Btc .

Actually it is getting more and more stable with time, too. A few years ago changes 10% daily were normal, now we are seeing changes of 1% daily. Just look at the past charts and you will see.

Yes sometimes we call it stable because it doesn't increase and decrease as of now, but then again just to clarify it is not a stable coin it is very volatile , it can be go up and down, very unexpected price.

As of this year we may call it currently stable because of being steady at $6k but it doesnt mean that the value of bitcoin will stay forever at that price, compare to the past years that the value of bitcoin fluctuated and then suddenly increased over 200 times.

There is no reason to consider Bitcoin stable, at the same time I disagree with those who argue that today's price is unfair and it should cost a lot more. It is not, fluctuations in the range of $ 6000 is the best that we can expect in the future.

With the current 6k$ base price of bitcion you can say it stable, but don't classify bitcoin as a stable coin they are high tendency the bitcoin will move away from static position sooner because in cryptocurrency we have experience this time without number. so bitcoin will raised again as usual.

I am fail to understand who is saying Bitcoin is stable, there should be such statement from anyone aware of crypto nature, its not stable at all but going thr a sideways trend after a huge downtrend, it may breakout on either side but since its already very down so chances are there that it may explode upside after a small downside to panic people, this is my personal opinion.

Well,you have a point because bitcoin was created as volatile and unstable digital currency. It means it is still changing it's price even a little. And now we can see that the value of bitcoin suddenly fallen.

There's nothing established about Bitcoin. It can be unstable for years and then become stable. You can judge the trend only when the pattern occurs enough times. Bitcoin had a real bull and bear market only once before. This is the second long bear market in 10 years. We don't know what to expect and we won't know until it plays out.

Obviously it hasn't been stable ever since because of its high fluctuation rate that even a slightest movement of the market can trigger such big changes in the market. I don't think people will like it that way if bitcoin is really stable like their own fiat currency on their own country.

Well  ;D ;D Seems like I was right after all and the ''big move'' happened today, although unfortunately it was a bear move. This is exactly what I was talking about, people get too comfortable, everyone thinks bitcoin is stable and then boom, that's when shit happens, bull or bear runs.

I strongly agree with you Mate! you were right the bomb exploded today I hope that it does not keep exploding I already lost  8.000 $. I am trying to not fall down and cry like a little kid but is hard :(. Do you have Any suggestion for us, please? or someone? I am willing to be open-minded and listen to everyone. Anything to calm the nerves like theories, explanations, vodka, cookies, rum, jokes…

Haha, sorry for your loss man, I always use stop losses so it doesn't affect me as much. I'm sure if you go to reddit or even here you will find the usual, ''buy the dip'' or something along those lines but I wouldn't be so quick to do it. At this point things like dead cat bounces can easily happen and trap even more people, If you haven't sold yet, you could just place a stop loss right at the bottom of today, if you did sell, I would wait for the dust to settle a little bit before trying to buy. I'm personally waiting for tomorrow to see what kind of continuation we have.

Price stability would not be good in cryptocurrency. Traders and investors are taking profit in terms of volatility. The more volatile the market has, the more profits we gain. Bitcoin is not a stable coin because of many traders who want to buy and sell it. It fluctuates high and low but not all time. We just experiencing low volatile today because there is no news that will trigger the market.

I agree with you. It is too early to talk about the stability of bitcoin. Especially now it has already started a sharp decline and I think that the price will continue to fall to record levels this year. But we will soon be able to see a new growth.

Yes you're right, one of the qualities of bitcoin is that its volatile, and it will never be stable. If its going to be stable then it's not bitcoin anymore.

After yesterday's sharp fall in the price of Bitcoin, hardly anyone will write that the price of Bitcoin is stable. The question disappears by itself.
Yesterday, bitcoin confirmed that it is still unpredictable in price bitcoin. In addition, it fell in price for no apparent reason. It is unlikely that this was facilitated by holding the BCH fork, which is scheduled for today.

Bitcoin is in the process of increasing its value rate so far, meaning that its bitcoin currency is not yet stable, because the price of bitcoin is still low on the market cap. and for me it's just a matter of perseverance and we just wait until it increases the price of bitcoin, and it all goes back to everything and will be the bitcoin stable someday.

Yes, the bitcoin price is like the other altcoins, volatile in the market. But i think bitcoin is more stable than altcoin price.
Few months ago when altcoins going down with significant difference, btc price is only going down for few percentage.
But yes, all of the cryptocurrency price is unstable in the market, often to fluctuates.

Of course. It seems to me that people who assume that Bitcoin can become a stable coin don’t know anything about it.
At the moment, I see only one scenario for Bitcoin - the price increase. Indeed, for all the years of the existence of Bitcoin, its price is rising. Yes, the price hesitates on this path. Sometimes it grows sometimes falls. So having a currency that is constantly growing (because it has a number of characteristics necessary for growth), we can only make one conclusion; this currency cant be a stable coin.
Perhaps bitcoin is waiting for another future, but the fact that this currency will become a stable currency is impossible.

bitcoin price is so undervalued right now and yes bitcoin is not stable currency bcz it is crypto currency.currently the price of bitcoin is so volatile and market cap is also low.bitcoin price will be stable very soon.

today the situation is like the old days, the bitcoin price is low, and the demand is also small. indeed the condition and price of bitcoin will never be stable. can only go up and down with time. but indeed the current state of bitcoin is declining and it is very difficult to predict by all of us who have been involved in bitcoin.

it is just the fruit of hopelessness of some Bitcoin holders. No true investor wants his investment goes down from time to time. Those who are saying that the current price of Bitcoin was stable, are those who were lack of patience and trust, hence affecting the market as they buy high and sell low to atleast not loose everything. And they must stop it. Wait, wait, wait, and let patience be everyone's virtue.

well to me bitcoin is stable now compared to the market trend early this year where bitcoin price was flutuating greatly. At least the past few months all we see is slight change up and down. we can boldly say bitcoin is stable or do you expect it to just remain in a fixed price?

Bitcoin will never be stable in price.
The market is very playful in cryptocurrency.
People keep buy and selling the tokens also.
The demand will dictate the price growth or lose.
The stable thing in bitcoin is the price changes nothing more.

I think that whenever it is centrally controlled by one institution till that time it will not be stable and after that it can not be said that it will stable because the market forces like demand and supply can change the market situation and it is very important  to understand that crypto is highly risky but due to it's importance and value to the users and i hope that crypto is the good currency for the online job market and those who want to keep their money in every where.

It honestly feels that when people less expect it, something happens, up or down. I don't really think many people anticipated this crash at all. Bitfinex Shorts were really low, every day going lower, so obviously the bears weren't confident at all. Then again this happened mostly because of the hashrate battle, didn't it?

I think the word stable was used with respect to the situation at the time. But why would people want Btc to be stable forever?? I do not think anyone here would want that to happen, not now. Think of it, many want to make good profits from our investment and if Btc becomes stable now, how would that happen.

Bitcoin value have been fluctuating within some range, that is between $6000 - $7000 range (though,the value today is about $5500). Bitcoin performing within this range can be tagged as volatile/stable depends largely on individual opinion. A $1000 range - as in this case is big money in my own opinion, so I will personally say that bitcoin is volatile. However, for some people $1000 range is little and some people may call it stable. I think it is simply a personal opinion.

Bitcoin will never be stable unless it was being centralized because government has a power to control its value when it happen.since bitcoin was remain decentralised its value will not be stable, instead it is volatile where most people like to bitcoin.

The bomb appeared to have exploded
But unfortunately it exploded in our faces :'(
$ 1000 almost a drop in price during hours
The reasons are not specifically known
It may be the hard fork for BCH
Or whaling
I believe that prices will improve but when?
No one knows specifically.

I think we should be glad that the price has dropped so low. It seems to me that this is not the limit and before the jump we will see another bottom. It's time to shop, gentlemen. Personally, I put the purchase ladder and wait, when already bought at a lower price. The whales decided to be purchased again. We will see more than once manipulation with such capitalization. Get the cash ready, guys.

Most people are saying it is about BCH fork
All that is example how easy is to manipulate bitcoin price
Remember meanwhile somebody short bitcoin price on so called futures exchanges
Binance went offline 30 min before price crushed
It is just one big flash crash

Stability forgor about it in crypto

Every time bitcoins price changes that is why it can never be stable.Theres just times that there is a slow movements on its price in the market but votality is always there.It will never stabilize because votality was a part of cryptocurrency.

Volatility is the biggest feature of the crypto currency and due to volatility the prices keep on moving up or down. And if it would not be volatile it would never even would have crossed 10k so faster. So for all speculators, investors or traders it is also opportunity to make money during this volatile market. But for couple of  months if prices are range bound consider it as the stable price during that period.

This is a circulation issue in the market but i think that bitcoin is a little bit stable in these days and for this whole year now bitcoin is recovered but the thing is that people are less in the market due to price fall every one is watching the market for trade and other transaction so it can be said that demand and supply can change the market price and it's long term goals. Bitcoin volatility is high so that's why it is not stable for long time

The bitcoin's price movement was calm like a bomb, until the recent drop that happened in just a matter of hours. It may seem that there are no logical reasons behind it, but it is safe to assume that whales started to make a move expecting for the public to buy at an attractive price level of $5.5k, but nobody bites the dust. we may witness another downfall within the next few weeks to prove that BTC has a strong support.

Bitcoin may be stable for some periods which last in a few months, but it doesn't make it a stable asset. As we all see 6k barrier was destroyed with a blink. And nobody knows what eaxctly happens in this week or why this happens. It is so bad to see that manupulation and speculation still dominate the crypto market.

Bitcoin is really unstable and price leaps from high to lower is huge that as of now  I think almost -80%(?) from its ATH. But I do believe that as this cryptocurrencies widely spread, its growth will be organic when distribution is widely distributed worldwide. As of now in my opinion there are still  whales who can  dumps bitcoin prices just to speculate and buy at lower prices.

There is nothing like being stable in the crypto market and when ever the is a level of stability just know that it just for a short time and before you know it the chart will be turn either way again what control the the market is the level of demands and supply at a specific period of time. Bitcoin can never be stable its not design to be so it will remain volatile.

In fact, it would be stable if a mainstream adoption happens, and if all the people on this world get bitcoins, because there won't be too much demand after that.

Maybe that is the only scenario in where we could see a real "stable price" and not a volatile one.

But only god knows when that is going to happen

Bitcoin often fluctuate rapidly like the other cryptocurrencies and its price volatility depend on market movements. The price of the top ranked coin is mostly unstable because of its volatility and its react readily to any developments that related to the crptocurrency and the market. Sometime it also experienced low volatility but it is only short in duration.

I like your opinion, to be honest, I'm currently on both sides, waiting for the Bitcoin Bullish again, and waiting for the Bitcoin to Bearish deeper. I have never felt the price of Bitcoin is stable, the price of Bitcoin is very wild and this is what I like from Bitcoin, preparing for whatever happens to the price of Bitcoin in the future I think is the wisest thing..

until now I have never seen the price of bitcoin as stable as bro. precisely the price of bitcoin is very difficult for anyone to predict. even the price is always freefall. so many people are worried. if bitcoin does not have an exchange rate except only very little value

Not just bitcoin but the whole cryptomarket, this is really unpredictable and the price may pump or dump at any moment. This can be a good opportunity for anyone but not to all investors/traders. Those who have stong will are the ones who can be a cryptoinvestor. Come to think that even strong businesses becomes bankrupt unexpectedly. This market will heal itself and it will increase more in the future, believe on that.

Yes we all want the price of Bitcoin like last 2017, but another fact proves the price of Bitcoin has fallen rapidly from the price of $ 6400 to $ 5400 today, for me now is the biggest test time for Bitcoin Investors, because with this fall a lot of panic is happening, and finally I told all Bitcoin holders, let us hold our Bitcoin for the future.

Bitcoin is not stable. However, there is a unique feature within this instability aspect of Bitcoin. Due to the instability nature of Bitcoin, it can rise at incredible pace to huge heights on the market. This is what gives investors the good returns after trusting Bitcoin with their money.

This is right, at the moment bitcoin is like a sleeping giant, bitcoin is sleeping so it may give the impression that it has finally reached a state of stability, but we know that is not the case, as soon as bitcoin wakes up there are going to be huge movements in the market, in fact we saw one just a few days ago unfortunately for us the price went down but we will see positive movements in the price in the future.

and this is why we have stablecoins  ;)  ;D

Any thoughts on stablecoins?

I respect your opinion, and although you think it is not stable, there is a certain pattern that you should check by looking at the market. Bitcoin is not stable, but at the end of the year, everything is as it is today. Exactly the same thing is happening.

The crypto market is always moving, either in good or bad direction. Therefore, we can not affirm that Bitcoin has stabilized or not, when seen in the past few months Bitcoin value delivered in about $ 6k - $ 7k. The constant fluctuation of bitcoin from birth to now is a clear demonstration.

yes, the stability of bitcoin will only last temporarily and eventually it will be able to change drastically up or down. this is the risk when we work here, so we have to accept and be normal because this for us often happens.

No one knows the next line for bitcoin, so we can't just call that stable not until we are sure about it going up or down that is when we can call that stable.

I think that btc is the most stable coin and it will be like this for long. To my mind, btc is the best coin which will be the best coin for the long period of time. I am sure it is the best coin with the great advantages for all people

I don't really believe in the stability of Bitcoin. I mean, it has always been fluctuating ever since the first time I knew it. To be frank, it doesn't have to be stable. Where's the fun if it doesn't go up and down every few days?

By the way, that analogy about the bomb is kinda misleading. Bitcoin doesn't just explode and ends right away (like the bomb), it will eventually rise up for every fall.

On my own experience nothing is stable on this space because everything is going up and down (usually down :() even though they said that someone is behind for controlling the market but still the majority of people who goes in and out will always affect the Bitcoin price.

only a few crypto coins are currently stable and Bitcoin is not included. Bitcoin is a decentralized coin and we all already know that a decentralized coin will be very difficult to determine, only Hardfork coins from Bitcoin which I think the price can be stable..

Bitcoin is indeed unstable and even though prices have persisted and are struggling in the range of $6000 yesterday, many have complained about such market conditions, if they properly pay attention to market charts, volatility does continue even though it is low volatility.

Well, you are an investor of a volatile crypto currency, that is certain that you will be rocked by a lot of ups and downs in the market since no one knows what will be the movement of the price. The price might be manipulated but don't you think that it hard to do since there are a lot of Bitcoin user in this world and they are doing anything to earn from it so it is really hard to control or manipulate it.

They can say its stable, Because it hasn't been make a worst deep down yet. however if they see such things I'm sure there will be a flock of people telling us that bitcoins will never be stable and by that time there is only slight chance for the price to increase again because of the malicious thinking of other. but we are sure bitcoin will rise again.

Low volatility is analogous to temporary stability because the prices are buffered around a central price mark. It does not mean that the market is exempt from volatility since that's not the case, but in this case, the price changes we see are all relative, thus 'stable'.

With that now out of the way, I must reiterate that this is certainly not how I'd describe the market right now as it's in neither a low volatility state nor a stable state.

So far, precisely in the past 70 days, the price of bitcoin has more often moved up and down ± 1%, and the price has always returned to ± $ 5.500. So on that basis I assume to keep calling it as stable/stagnant bitcoin price.

I am very sure the next Bullrun will be present, but we do not know when this will happen because all this it could be far from what was predicted by many people before.

People experienced the huge ATH before and that is why most of the crypto users are not contented with the current development. For me, we should used to this new support of level of $5,000 to $ 6,000 as the new real demand now which is free from price manipulation and conspiracy but still i'm hoping it will pump hard soon thru the real demand of course.

Bitcoin is for people who have strong nerves and are brave enough to take risks. Because prices are unstable and fluctuate quickly, making cowards do not become traders but investors, even HODL for long periods of time to the price as desired.

Everyone looking for next bull run and it will happen soon. Indeed that bitcoin price waiting to explode and i am looking 2019 is the year. Some people who waiting big crash is people who want buying more bitcoin at cheapest price

Its obvious that the price of bitcoin had never for once been stable of course there are times when the market experience low volatility  at that period is when the market ranges back and forth however in the case of high volatility the market pumps massively.

This somewhat reminds me of the science lesson about active and dormant volcanoes. Right now, bitcoin is in dormant state, bit there would be time (no matter how long) that it can "explode" and reshape the economy. But I have faith that this changes that bitcoin will "emmit" is for the betterment of our economy.

To make a profit or a transaction, it is imperative that the BTC is up and down . The recent price drop was anticipated enough that it would complete the downside chart to prepare for a strong bull market. Please trust BTC , my friend.

maybe many people say the price of bitcoin is currently stable because they notice there is no significant price fluctuation now, but prices are now down
make all think hard. that's just a term because there is no right word for the current situation

The Bitcoin price unstable everything we are know this moment,anytime Bitcoin price can going up &Down right now. I think it's captions doesn't attacks with the old Bitcoin users. Because their are have huge knowledge Bitcoin about and market situation.they are know anything Bitcoin price going rise without any reason.

With the history of cryptocurrency market trend there is no doubt that bitcoin price was not happen to be in stable condition. What wil always happened was that it keeps always changing might be increasing or decreasing without any valid reason caused. This is how bitcoin become unstable condition at all times.

Whats the poblem being stable?I see nothing as long as the stability is not forever because this is what bitcoin is.
This is normal for every market and product to become stable for the simple reason of resting the movement,sometimes investors resting so theres no movement but id doesnt mean that it is permanent because its not

isn't the instability of the bitcoin price can be our opportunity to buy? which is too emotional in trading, from the very first bitcoin always makes a very sharp leap, so a slight decline makes many people lose control, the energy still has another leap in the future we usually see not until 10 this year can be a great opportunity ...

Something you talked right, a lot of times low volatility with Bitcoin but normally we are saying that stable compering whole of the crypto currencies market  high volatility. Bitcoin holder waiting big bull run from long times ago almost 7 months or 8 months.

Hey, it's just for meme & joke. Don't get too serious about that.

Bitcoin price was stable in the last few months i think. Price up and down around 6400$-6500$, dumping start in previous week but again very soon it will increase i hope. Now say that STOP calling stable but most of the time actually BTC is stable coin. I don't think it will increase suddenly without any big news.

Of course, Bitcoin cannot be stable in nature. It has only been for some time due to various factors that may seem stable in its price, but this is not at all the case. We have seen recently how Bitcoin has been raising and lowering the price of a thousand dollars in just a few hours. At any time, bitcoin can sharply react to the price of various news information.

Hi,
Bitcoin is not stable true , but why bcus

its decentralized and no one control it ,

for example every country have there own currency and they have bank and control over it etc

Bitcoin can go high or low fast depend on investment or cashout , bad or good news etc

but in long term it is staying forever the way it is created !

people can only have trust in it bcus it give them freedom

I agree bitcoin is not yet stable since we can see a small FUD can shaken the market.  Stability for me means the price is not greatly affected by any outside news, it may be affected but will never react such as what happened right now.  Aside from that, any asset cannot be considered stable when it is actively traded in the market.  Prices always change and I agree with all of the member here saying low volatility is the term but I guess bitcoin is far from being that.

According to research and news, bitcoin is not stable especially to the price of every single bitcoin. Many of us are nor using bitcoin to sustain their needs and no specific amount that can cover the monthly supplies of bitcoin. Yes, there are many guarantees but no specific amount and no specified date and time when the bitcoin will hit its highest pick amount. So many of us are waiting to bitcoin to increase its price or amount.

yes, the proof is that bitcoin is falling again now. it proves that bitcoin is unstable, and the perception of some people when bitcoin lasts for $ 6000 is wrong. therefore, the value of bitcoin is also likely to rise again.

Yeah, haha, seems that this post has aged well. I personally was not expecting this big of a crash but as I said you never know. Now people are going to say the usual, ''buy the dip'', accumulation period, etc etc.

None is crying for bitcoin to be stable. We all know that bitcoin is very volatile which is the reason why traders are happy with it. If it were stable like the usdt and its kinds, the interest in it would have reduced. There are many good things that it comes with when a coin is volatile.
