Title: Looks like Mt. Gox's price has stabilized pretty nicely...
Post by: mpfrank on June 27, 2011, 12:13:54 AM
A big HA-ha! to everyone who said that Bitcoin was dead, or too volatile.  After running this gauntlet, Mt. Gox and Bitcoin will be stronger & more secure, more stable and resilient.  I think the hackers did us a favor - we'll all be better for it in the long run.

No volatility = no speculators -> no market -> bubble implodes

Some people did pay a high price for the learning curve.

Speculation surely is one driver.

Another is, according to quantity theory:

Less volatility
-> more confidence of merchants and consumers
-> more real commerce
-> more real value moved
-> higher valuation of the unit.

And this driver is the one which is important in the long run.
