Bitcoin will be more stable (there will never be perfect stability) when its utility is fully understood. Its utility is a dynamic proprety that depends on a wide variety of factors, and a widespread understanding of this could occur at numerous different price levels. For example if banks decide to do some serious innovation, the mainstream public could disregard bitcoin entirely (not worth it for them), and it could be reduced to a very low price level supported only by Silk Road. There is no binary option of 0 or 10 billion. It's all market forces, cultural shifts, society-wide perspectives, etc.
It's really pretty simple.
When we get to the top of the adoption curve, or if Bitcoin fails entirely, the value will be stable.
Until then, it's going to be bumpy.
