When does bitcoin behave like fiat?

[Thenoticer]

Is there a point in marketcap and trade volume that bitcoin starts behaving like fiat?

No one knows. The inflation rate will start becoming pretty irrelevant by abount 2027 looking at the charts, so inflation will not be a big cause of lack of stability (by behaving like fiat, im assuming you are talking about this and nothing something else).

Once and if Bitcoin stops at a certain price, and if the adoption is near mainstream levels, it will be at a price a lot times higher than the last ATH. Simple supply and demand dynamics. This includes prices like 100k to 1 million dollars, but we see this as insane now.

you need a great adoption for that, a great usage first, you can't simply expect it to be like fiat, where the marketcap is so underwhelming

when there will be the true bases to have the stability of fiat, it mean that bitcoin is used as a strong alternative, and you will see the same stability

once people start using it more as fiat currency. market cap isn't a big issue as far as being being a currency. people are using it already as currency.

If he is talking about a non volatile price then market cap is a big issue... 4 billion marketcap is nothing, a single whale can manipulate the price. You can't have stability like that, that's why we need a lot more billions in the pool so it's harder to manipulate. This is good news for early investors like us, since there is no other way but the price going to marks once the marketcap starts going higher.

It was insane for a very early adopters to get to $1 and it got there. After the same for $100 and $1000, and Bitcoin again got there. So I wouldn't bet against anything anymore.

Also we cannot compare Bitcoin to the Fiat. Bitcoin is much more than just a currency. It's also a commodity, a store of value and just a tool for different reasons. I mean people got married and officiated this using the blockchain.

Not to mention that FIAT currencies are also physical and transactions are not publicly available.

I'm not an economist so I couldn't really say a specific time for when Bitcoin would become stable. Hopefully some time in the next century.
