I just wish the price would stabilize sometime
That's not going to happen anytime soon, so it makes little sense to request the nearly impossible
not only is it impossible, it's not even desirable.
Bitcoin should not stabilize with a 5~10 billion market cap.
It should stabilize with a market cap in at least the area of several trillions. (yes, trillions), if we want it to be taken seriously as a global currency.
Moreso if we're aiming to be a reserve currency.
Seriously, a 10 trillion market cap is about right if we want to be somewhat comparable to euros. And in my opinion bitcoin should easily trump fiat currencies like the euro. I wouldn't even be surpised if we get a market cap of 100 trillion or even a quadrillion in the not so distant future (but not too soon either).
Of course, if that happens, we would not even use fat anymore.
Now you might say, a quadrillion? that's ridiculous, we don't even have a quadrillion dollars.
But, at that point, everything will be priced in bitcoins, the stock market, the whole oil, gold, silver and PM markets, everything. All will be tied to bitcoin instead of to the USD.
Imagine what that would do to the price of bitcoin.
