The markets are finaly stabilizing.

BTC is falling again due to the influence of Indian Banks.
Why are policies so big on the market?
Was it bitcoin that touched their interests? BTC is prohibited.
BTC is also changing to adapt, why these institutions don't learn to change!

If you are talking about the HashPower, the current fees, and the waiting times for the transactions, then i agree with you. Anyway, the price is not stable if that is what you meant.

It is not stable, and no one knows if we are on a bullish trend or just in another bull trap. We just need to give it some time until we can see how the market is moving.

IMO Bitcoin would become stable only after it was recognized as a valid currency by most governments and when most people were holding the amount of BTC they wish for. Right now we are not even close to the former or the latter.

Knowing well that the price will be much higher in the future and that Bitcoin is worth buying, big whales manipulate the price to buy as much as they can at the lowest price possible. This process is far from being over.

[buggy]

Agree with you that markets are finally stabilizing. As expected bitcoin will always go back to track and value will go on increasing. Good news to us bitcoiner and always look forward for the positive effect of bitcoin nowadays.

[audrey12]

Not quite I think it's just that the fluctuations are really that small to consider as a major pump and dump. The market are still on its process of changing prices from high to low then vice versa it will not stabilized unless certain regulations will come out to rule the market and have a fix price for all cryptos. I think in few more months we will experiencing again a huge pump and dump as well as new high record.

I don't think such recognition is actually required but it will definitely help Bitcoin greatly. What Bitcoin really needs now is wide acceptance by merchants and shops but this is not possible without fast and cheap transactions. So we need fast and cheap transactions first, then wider acceptance by shops and stores, and finally people using bitcoins as a means of payment. When Bitcoin is no longer used only for wild speculation as it is now, that will help reduce volatility a lot.

I think more and more people are really moving to segwit because the mempool transactions is really decreasing. Yes, I also read a lot of prediction breaking that $13K will start another rally. Let's see what will it bring tomorrow.

That could be a factor, but unless the major exchanges all adopt Segwit, I don't think adoption by average trader is going to make this dramatic of an improvement. It is quite head scratching how we've had and maintained such a large number of transactions for a month, only for it to drop rapidly in a span of a few days. I obviously can't tell for sure what happened, but I'd say traders are just settling down.

This is good though, because it means Bitcoin is ready for another run. When that will come is anyone's guess though.

If fast transactions were cheaper or cheap transactions were faster it wouldn't hurt Bitcoin, that's for sure. But we already had this in the past but still the Bitcoin's volatility was on high level. Yes, merchants would be accepting Bitcoin with more enthusiasm if the transactions issue were solved but I can't see how that would prevent speculation.

What it means that market is finally stabilizing? If you are taking about BTC price then BTC price is never stabilize  its the main property of bitcoin that price will be always volatile and will be varying with time and due to this property trades are getting chance of doing trading of buying and selling. While if market of BTC stabilize then i think it will lose their alot of customers.

[gwapo.zylle]

As far as I know the market now a days is stabilizing becasue bitcoin is the new trend business in the social network market and I know that people are trying to do a work so that the progress of bitcoin will be assurely free in hassle and it will be in the highest percentage of high level and people will hold on just to be fitted in bitcoin. People are trying to be with bitcoin because we knew that we can get highest advantages that soon we can use for the future and for the better.

and now 22 jan back with a fairly high miner fee. I think for a while the bitcoin fee and the price of the bitcoin itself are not significantly up or down.
the total volume trade in of the market exchange I agree its more stable for now.  but about mining of this coin its not stable yet i think . its not significant go to up or down .

[jaaeeeyyyy]

Stabilizing ? Stabilize is a state of being firm which is not applicable on the cryptomarket, as we can see the price moves everyday, every hour and every a couple of minutes it does. It can't be stable as the market is volatile and affected by the demand and supply so its price is increasing and decreasing. Bitcoin cannot achieve stabilizing as it is decentralized in the first place.

[ylnar123]

I've been looking at the charts and it looks like we may now have enough participants to average things out properly.
NO more neuronal spikes in the charts.

Mining Fees

Cost per Transaction
Cost % of transaction volume
Total Transaction Fees in USD
Total Transaction Fees

Mining Hash Rate

Hash Rate
Miners Revenue

Average number of Transaction
This is the only worrying aspect of bitcoin at the moment, the transaction volume, it has to be scaled up, we are limiting the scope of our customers.
Larger and larger investors are coming in, and this bottleneck is causing serious problems to get that money in the Blockchain ecosystem.


We may start seeing some true stability now... the wildness has dropped significantly.

Hopefully bitcoins price become more stable to lessen the worry of some investors. But for me since the price now is low, it is better to buy and invest in bitcoin and wait for it to grow later in this year.

Have you even read the original post though? It's not directly talking about price, but about other aspects of Bitcoin which are in fact stabilizing.
And what you're saying about volatility isn't really the case either, volatility has been dropping since 2010, though the last couple of months we have seen a little spike upwards again.



And of course we can see the prices move every day, that's the case with every currency, there wouldn't be a market if that wasn't the case.

So long as the transaction volume Bitcoin can handle remains the same, Bitcoin won't stabilize and will continue to be unstable to use and to mine. It needs to scale in order to accommodate more investors coming and investing into bitcoin and to handle their transactions properly. Volume of trade in the market exchange haven't stabilized too but like you said it is more stable now.

I conceptually agree with your point. The only thing that I want to clarify and perhaps add some light to is that Bitcoin will remain highly volatile as long as it remains mostly a vehicle for speculation. Were it used in real commerce and people would actually spend their coins on everyday shit like they do with dollars and other fiat currencies, that would help stabilize prices greatly. People would see how one bitcoin stands in respect to goods which can be bought with this currency, and it would tranquilize volatility down to a bearable level.

Bitcoin was near $1000 a year ago in December, it has crossed $19000 mark within a year. This sudden rise was surprising. Soon profit booking started and its slipped down below $10000. Bitcoin again recovered and now settled near $11000. All markets of the world shows down trending in the month of December every year. By the mid of January they recovers and stabilizes to its real price. This happens every year due to festival & xmas season.

I agree with that the price will not stable till right now it takes some time to stable and the bitcoin value also didn't comes to a stable price , hope the this Confusion's will come to an end soon and the new investors will confuse with that collapse surely bitcoin had a great value in future .

Volatility is an aspect of crypto that would be hard to tske away so i don't think we can expect the market to really stabilize. These up and down movement defines what cryptoccurrencies are and this is how traders make money.

Hi,

Indeed, this can really be interesting. It can also be kind of a threat... But let's not focuse only on "bad" aspects.

If the market manage to reach stability (more or less), then it means that potentially, bitcoin can become a daily currency. Just because the price is rather fixed, just like with any other fiat currency.

So, I actually think that's a great news. It means new challenges to face but also new opportunities, new possibilities!
