I would be perfectly happy if there were ANY digital currency that had a fixed value (to say Euro or USD) peg.   It's the usefulness of its portability that is most beneficial for me.   The increase in value over the past years that has simply been a bonus.

I think this thing will not happen because it is a business and and let's say that will be implemented still it will cause a problem by crypto itself because the value of dollar is changing in other countries.

In fact if bitcoin would be stable or no volatile it would be more used by banks and all other companies because you have a fixed price, it could work as the US value only that digital.
That is why USDT was created for, but it is impossible to use it because it has been manipulated a lot by just one company, bitfinex.

Yeah I will definitely invest in bitcoin and I am sure that the investment will be more than today because many people are afraid to invest in bitcoin because of the volatility.

If the price is stable then many companies, banks, or other organizations will start accepting bitcoin because the value will not change, and now many big companies do not accept because they have the fear to lose their money.

Indeed, this is a very interesting and timely question. I am sure that most people would not buy bitcoin if they knew that it would not increase in price and they would not receive income from raising its rate. Demand for bitcoin would then fall sharply. What would happen with bitkoynom then? The answer is obvious: it would fall sharply in price. This indicates that as soon as bitcoin ceases to grow, due to a drop in demand for it, it will quickly lose its value. Moreover, the inflated value of the bubble and drop to the real value. I do not even want to predict how low it can be.
      Unlike bitcoin, with altcoyins, things are much better. They were mainly created to facilitate our life in a particular industry and have their own real value.

Yea mate said correctly that if price of BTC become fixed then BTC will be lose his more customers because more people are like bitcoin due to volatility of BTC as the price of BTC is varying then various traders are doing trading at that moment so when it fixed then trader will stop trading and BTC will face big loss also.

I think that the majority will answer this question negatively. Especially now, when bitcoin has become slow, with hundreds of thousands of suspended transactions and an average commission of $ 37.
     However, we return to our question. If bitcoin is bought mainly because of speculative aspirations, then what will happen to its price after it stops in its growth? And this means that the demand for it will drop sharply and it will also start falling sharply in price.

It would change a lot if you use Bitcoin as investment. Then I wouldn't buy it, I would choose standard bank investment.
On the other hand if you use bitcoin as form of payment constant value would be helpful.
Actually value of BTC will never be constant, so we don't have to worry about that.

Most likely, I would not do this because I specifically invest in bitcoin because the price of it changes and I earn it

I would not buy bitcoin. For sure, majority of the people won't buy bitcoin and if there will be few people would buy, this will result to bitcoin's fall. I think it might be more okay to use fiat money.

If it were guaranteed that the price of bitcoin would stay the same as it is today, would you still buy it?  My guess is, the answer is no. But if its value lies in being a currency, price stability is essential. And if your answer is no, how is it then not just a Ponzi scheme? In other words, everyone is buying it on the hope of someone paying more for it in the future, not to use it as a currency.

No, I won't buy or storing bitcoin if the price is stable. Because, bitcoin and other types of crypto is not recognized as a means of payment in my country even though the price is stable. So, storing bitcoin under such conditions would be very unreasonable.

But it can be. Wouldn't you want to risk storing it so that you can have an alternative in case someone tries to seize your wealth? If it would never gain value but also never lose it would still be better than most people you can buy. Cars, boats, aircrafts, they all depreciate in value and bitcoin would stay the same which would make it a great alternative investment for doomsday preppers.

We all know that the greatest characteristic of bitcoin is  its Volatility, Many has ride the wave when bitcoin has reached 20k Mark from 1k USD. So if the bitcoin's price is guaranteed to stay the same I would not buy it since I will not profit to it.

Nothing can stay at the same price level indefinitely and BTC will drop and will pump many times as it is a volatile investment.

Fiat money becomes cheaper due to inflation and devaluation. If bitcoin does not change the cost, then this is the best solution for investing.
I would buy it for my own purposes.

Human beings by default are to pursue some set of profit and that is what ruled all of their financial decision to the buying of a house or to the establishment of a business down to the contribution to a mutual fund just because they believe it will turn out more money at some time in the future. What now differentiate individual is about how greedy are we which has prompt individual investment decisions in the crypto world in general and not bitcoin.

Well in my part i believe that tje valuexof bitcoin is the most amazing value in currency because it can be chanve anytime anywhere and by that feature bitcoin become really more interesting yet exciting way or maybe kinds of gaining and maybe  it is now getting popular because maybe people believe in it and appriciate its unstable price so then if the value of bitcoin is stable maybe bitcoin can fall down.

stable price is good for me because you can start safety  trading  but as general it is bad people buy bitcoin to earn fast free money without work.

when bitcoin stable demand will down fast
