Stop calling Bitcoin ''stable'' it's not.

[White Christmas]

Low volatility doesn't mean stable. Bitcoin has experienced periods of low volatility many times, however this doesn't mean bitcoin is stable, not even close. We all know it doesn't take much for bitcoin to explode, either up or down. That's absolutely still in the cards, I mean everyone is waiting for the next bull run and some people are waiting for a big crash.

It's like saying, this bomb is stable because it hasn't exploded yet.

Bitcoin will never be stable unless it was being centralized because government has a power to control its value when it happen.since bitcoin was remain decentralised its value will not be stable, instead it is volatile where most people like to bitcoin.

Bitcoin's volatile nature will never be removed due to it being a free-for-all market. It experiences a short stint of low market activity, but yes, that doesn't mean it's being stable or it will be any sooner. I like to picture bitcoin as a bomb with an external triggering device that could go off any second. Sure there are times when the bad guys don't want anything to happen but it doesn't mean that the bomb lost its potential to explode. Right now, there aren't any reason to get the price going up that's why everything seems stable.

The bomb appeared to have exploded
But unfortunately it exploded in our faces
$ 1000 almost a drop in price during hours
The reasons are not specifically known
It may be the hard fork for BCH
Or whaling
I believe that prices will improve but when?
No one knows specifically.

I think we should be glad that the price has dropped so low. It seems to me that this is not the limit and before the jump we will see another bottom. It's time to shop, gentlemen. Personally, I put the purchase ladder and wait, when already bought at a lower price. The whales decided to be purchased again. We will see more than once manipulation with such capitalization. Get the cash ready, guys.

[Pab]

Most people are saying it is about BCH fork
All that is example how easy is to manipulate bitcoin price
Remember meanwhile somebody short bitcoin price on so called futures exchanges
Binance went offline 30 min before price crushed
It is just one big flash crash

Stability forgor about it in crypto

Every time bitcoins price changes that is why it can never be stable.Theres just times that there is a slow movements on its price in the market but votality is always there.It will never stabilize because votality was a part of cryptocurrency.

Nothing is stable in crypto world!

Volatility is the biggest feature of the crypto currency and due to volatility the prices keep on moving up or down. And if it would not be volatile it would never even would have crossed 10k so faster. So for all speculators, investors or traders it is also opportunity to make money during this volatile market. But for couple of  months if prices are range bound consider it as the stable price during that period.

This is a circulation issue in the market but i think that bitcoin is a little bit stable in these days and for this whole year now bitcoin is recovered but the thing is that people are less in the market due to price fall every one is watching the market for trade and other transaction so it can be said that demand and supply can change the market price and it's long term goals. Bitcoin volatility is high so that's why it is not stable for long time

[fulmetal08larz]

The bitcoin's price movement was calm like a bomb, until the recent drop that happened in just a matter of hours. It may seem that there are no logical reasons behind it, but it is safe to assume that whales started to make a move expecting for the public to buy at an attractive price level of $5.5k, but nobody bites the dust. we may witness another downfall within the next few weeks to prove that BTC has a strong support.

Bitcoin may be stable for some periods which last in a few months, but it doesn't make it a stable asset. As we all see 6k barrier was destroyed with a blink. And nobody knows what eaxctly happens in this week or why this happens. It is so bad to see that manupulation and speculation still dominate the crypto market.

Bitcoin is really unstable and price leaps from high to lower is huge that as of now  I think almost -80%(?) from its ATH. But I do believe that as this cryptocurrencies widely spread, its growth will be organic when distribution is widely distributed worldwide. As of now in my opinion there are still  whales who can  dumps bitcoin prices just to speculate and buy at lower prices.

There is nothing like being stable in the crypto market and when ever the is a level of stability just know that it just for a short time and before you know it the chart will be turn either way again what control the the market is the level of demands and supply at a specific period of time. Bitcoin can never be stable its not design to be so it will remain volatile.

[minersday]

In fact, it would be stable if a mainstream adoption happens, and if all the people on this world get bitcoins, because there won't be too much demand after that.

Maybe that is the only scenario in where we could see a real "stable price" and not a volatile one.

But only god knows when that is going to happen

Bitcoin often fluctuate rapidly like the other cryptocurrencies and its price volatility depend on market movements. The price of the top ranked coin is mostly unstable because of its volatility and its react readily to any developments that related to the crptocurrency and the market. Sometime it also experienced low volatility but it is only short in duration.

I like your opinion, to be honest, I'm currently on both sides, waiting for the Bitcoin Bullish again, and waiting for the Bitcoin to Bearish deeper. I have never felt the price of Bitcoin is stable, the price of Bitcoin is very wild and this is what I like from Bitcoin, preparing for whatever happens to the price of Bitcoin in the future I think is the wisest thing..

[nellakarisma]

until now I have never seen the price of bitcoin as stable as bro. precisely the price of bitcoin is very difficult for anyone to predict. even the price is always freefall. so many people are worried. if bitcoin does not have an exchange rate except only very little value

[creeps]

Bitcoin is very very unstable.Comparison with a bomb is very important.Especially now.The market situation is really scary.I don't know what's gonna happen.I want to believe in the best.But I am afraid that will soon explode)

Not just bitcoin but the whole cryptomarket, this is really unpredictable and the price may pump or dump at any moment. This can be a good opportunity for anyone but not to all investors/traders. Those who have stong will are the ones who can be a cryptoinvestor. Come to think that even strong businesses becomes bankrupt unexpectedly. This market will heal itself and it will increase more in the future, believe on that.

[entebah]

Well, in my opinion Bitcoin is currently unstable, whether what's happening with bitcoin right now, I really hope that at the end of this year Bitcoin will rise dramatically like at the end of 2017.

Yes we all want the price of Bitcoin like last 2017, but another fact proves the price of Bitcoin has fallen rapidly from the price of $ 6400 to $ 5400 today, for me now is the biggest test time for Bitcoin Investors, because with this fall a lot of panic is happening, and finally I told all Bitcoin holders, let us hold our Bitcoin for the future.

[princeyeboah]

Bitcoin is not stable. However, there is a unique feature within this instability aspect of Bitcoin. Due to the instability nature of Bitcoin, it can rise at incredible pace to huge heights on the market. This is what gives investors the good returns after trusting Bitcoin with their money.

This is right, at the moment bitcoin is like a sleeping giant, bitcoin is sleeping so it may give the impression that it has finally reached a state of stability, but we know that is not the case, as soon as bitcoin wakes up there are going to be huge movements in the market, in fact we saw one just a few days ago unfortunately for us the price went down but we will see positive movements in the price in the future.

and this is why we have stablecoins   

Any thoughts on stablecoins?
