I guess all is possible in our world, but will it be good for the bitcoin and the market itself!!?? this is the main question!
and I think the answer is a NO. No, the market will not tolerate this, cause flat market leaves no opportunity to earn money!

The volatility of bitcoin cannot be curbed due to its unregulated and decentralized nature of it.

Bitcoin  is sure evolving, but the volatility will sure take a while, as there is no regulation in the space,until there is a strict regulation the volatility is sure to be a for of limitation to BTC acceptance.

yes it is possible to be curbed by implementing proper rules and policy of btc. Even it would be possible is all the countries accept bitcoin and make it legal in the world economy.

While there is no way to limit the volatility of bitcoin. Apparently, there will not be such a mechanism. How it is possible to regulate supply and demand for bitcoin. if bitcoin does not have any centralized controls? Therefore, if bitcoin's volatility can not be reduced, then in the future the situation will deteriorate due to the possible increase in the rate of bitcoin. I think that if bitcoin rises very high in price, then its volatility will only increase, as the amplitude of its price fluctuations can and will increase. It can end badly for him.

Cryptocurrency is a speculative market and that is the nature. Bitcoin is a volatile market and curbing it will be like going against the nature and fundamental of bitcoin. The volatility is what make profit in bitcoin market. For bitcoin to be stable will make it to lose one of its major characteristics.

One major obstacle toward Bitcoin's acceptance by the mainstream is its extreme volatility. Effectively, this volatility means that Bitcoin is more a commodity than a currency.

That being the case, if, and that's a big 'IF', we wish to further the cause of Bitcoin as a currency with mainstream acceptance, there needs must be a mechanism in place to 'dampen' the volatility.

Central Banks stabilise their International fiat currencies through some exchange rate mechanism, that prevents excessive volatility. Can a similar mechanism operate for Bitcoin?

But, who will be in charge of a setup that is not just intentionally decentralised, it is explicitly anti-centralised?!

Are these just the design limitations of Bitcoin that we have to put up with; or can Bitcoin evolve?

I mean, I don't see a reason why bitcoin can't thrive while being volatile. Volatility is something subjective. You may perceive fiat as being stable, but in fact, in the long term, fiat currencies all inevitably go to zero.

And to me, I'd rather hold bitcoin, which may be volatile in the short run, than fiat.

It would be redundant to have bitcoin at all if there was a central bank manipulating the supply and demand of bitcoin, since that is what bitcoin is built to combat in the first place.

I think that as markets mature, and bitcoin's use as a method of payment between traders outweighs the speculative parts of it, it'll become naturally less volatile. That's that simple.

I believe that Bitcoin’s volatility will decrease as it gains more acceptance. It is still a speculative investment for many people so it’s going to fluctuate as short term investors cash out to lock in gains. At some point, more investors will hold for the long term which will make the price more stable. Let’s remember that Bitcoin has only been around for about 10 years.

To make it less fluctuate bitcoin need to be mass adopted and maybe bitcoin need only to be spend as currency, not as investment, the main reason of the high swing is because people do big buying or big selling at once and it disrupted the supply and demand, but as long as it is valuable people will always take profit from bitcoin

For me, it is very difficult to curb the volatility of Bitcoin because when bitcoin reaches its potential market cap, the price will stabilise and be more in tune with other indices such as inflation.

Maybe it will not happen because the bitcoin will gradually overcome as the price in the market will still grow and it will be accepted. May un the coming years the BTC's price will be stable. Many will still used the BTC for it will help us for our daily needs.

Bitcoin is very volatile because it is not yet reach a massive adoption. Once it is already reach a massive adoption the price of bitcoin will stabilize. Volatility in currency is normal, you are just not use to it because we are born where the currency have a regulation in terms of currency volatility. But in old days volatility of currency is normal.

it can't be becaise the volatily is driven by uncertainty and absence of a state that assures bitcoins value.

Volatility is a normal condition in currency moreover cryptocurrency space.
Yes, i know if central bank can make a pressure on the volatility the currency. But why we do that? for make anti-decentralized in bitcoin?
maybe the volatility is good for us right now, it's making us to strong, we have a lot of time to make Bitcoin better for all people and government. It’s just the time, you know if many Government right now doing to make regulation the cryptocurrency (Bitcoin), this is a way to go legal and so press the volatility.

I do not think that the number of bitcoins "all coins mined" will make a big difference in stability, but perhaps the big whales can influence the price.

We would have to push for crypto as a currency, and we'd have to make the news for our acceptance and real life usage instead of price increases.

Not easy to do and the volatility in nature of crypto currency is the fear of some people not investing in Bitcoin as they see it as ponzi scheme.... Its only government that can reduce the volatility by making it legal and accepted by all.

For the volatility of bitcoin to be checked, most people joining bitcoin markets and trading have to understand the true value of bitcoin. People join through FOMO and sell at lower prices than they bought because of FUDs. Also, holders who owe significant amount of bitcoin have a role to play. But most of the big holders would always want more. When you let your coins slide, they'll gladly hold it. It's almost impossible to curb volatility since the power is in the hands of every individual holder of bitcoin. Perhaps it may be possible to control volatility when we all start thinking the same suddenly.

It's the nature of Bitcoin and altcoins to be volatile, so anytime their value changes ang we can't just stop it or slow its changes since every people's transaction to Bitcoin it will move the price as well.

It is quite possible although it is a very long shot. Looking at the prices over the past three months, it is obvious that the volatility has decreased significantly but then, it is Bitcoin,right? You never can predict accurately what might happen next
