A stable price isnt the forte of cryptocurrency. If an investment is stagnant and doesnt change from time to time not even going up or going down, this means that the market isnt healthy.
Not healthy or not attractive? I think the main point for people is the latter.
People here have always something to complain about, and so does the mainstream media. If Bitcoin is volatile, it can't be a currency, and if there is stability (which is perfect for a currency), it's yet again not good enough. It's safe to say that those who are continuously complaining are here just for the profits, because I have never been bothered by either volatility or stability.
And what makes a market not healthy if it doesn't fluctuate? I think stability on its own is pretty neat, because it's stimulating real world usage to pick up and thus have coins circulate instead of being dumped directly for fiat. On top of that, most traders don't even need much volatility to trade with. Traders have been dealing with assets that fluctuate way less than Bitcoin in its most stable periods, and they still book the gains they look for.
Leverage is the name of the game. People think 100x leverage on Bitmex is wild, but certain legacy brokers offer 300x leverage counts.
