Will Bitcoin's price stabilize someday?

Why do you think Bitcoin's price hasn't stabilized yet? Is there a possibility they will stabilize in the future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

For me fundamentally is because of adoption, as you can see there are still few people who know what Bitcoin is. I can say that the market is still young. There are still a few big companies moving into Bitcoin.
Another thing is a lot of people do not really use Bitcoin, because for me the adoption is really important here if we want to stabilize, transactions on the Bitcoin chain, hash rates, miners, trading volumes, exchange inflows/outflows, etc.

[Mr.sprin]

free bitcoin no one can control bitcoin so bitcoin price is unstable, i think bitcoin price will not be stable anytime unless bitcoin is managed by one person or group of people who regulate bitcoin price but that's unlikely to happen.

[Poker Player]

I am surprised by so many responses saying that it is neither stable nor will it stabilize. Yes it will stabilize as its price and market cap continue to rise and if companies heavily exposed to Bitcoin, such as MSTR, become part of the S&P it will stabilize even more. The other day I heard Kevin O'leary saying that he believes the crypto space will be the 9th sector of the S&P, and that, with that, volatility will be reduced.

[jokers10]

A stable bitcoin price is very hard to achieve, because we we look at bitcoins quoted either in Dollars or Euros.
...

As for now. But with further adoption we'll see just the opposite situation when we'll look at exchange rates of USD and EUR to BTC. Because bitcoin would be considered more stable (as deflational asset) then any other fiat currency. It will not happen tomorrow but in several tens years... well, I believe that! 1BTC=1BTC!

Bitcoin is not a stable currency. It is a dynamic currency. Its price is going up and down every second.Bitcoin for this but cannot be in a stable state. We have seen that Bitcoin was very low a few days ago but now it is slowly starting to rise again.Bitcoin once stood at a high of 68k$ and then dropped to 33k dollar.Bitcoin cannot be stable in the midst of price fluctuations.

But the question is in general term mate, meaning OP is asking for the whole process and not just now , meaning that What about if all the Bitcoin had already Mined? maybe things will change as Altcoin will surely take place as another super volatile currency?
and also we are nearing to be mined all the coins so there are possibilities that Holders will not carry to keep hold and may divert in other currency that will effect the movement of Bitcoin price?

[Iadegbola34]

Probably not! Bitcoin is not a stable coin nether was ut developed to be so. So nay, Bitcoin will never have a stable price. Deal with that mate!

[SpenserReed]

Probably Bitcoin will stabilize when all the bitcoins will be mined. But even then you can't be sure that the price of bitcoin will be stable. It's supple and demand market, price always will fluctuate, so it is absolutely normal that bitcoin price is going up and down.

[MinMan]

I know that bitcoin has stayed for over a decade now. But it is too soon to hope for a stabilized price. So, I don’t think that the price would be stable anytime soon and moreover there are still more bitcoins to be mined in the next few years to come. It's really going to take a long time before we start talking about having the price of Bitcoin being stable.

And another thing you also have to know is that it's still going to be based on the supply and demand. So, the up-and-down isn't really going to be stopping fully. It still going to keep being volatile. Even gold is volatile, although the good thing is that it keeps on increasing over the years, there are times that it does decrease to.

Bitcoin as a decentralized currency as for me will always be volatile because of its limited supply so the price will always depend on the supply and demand as well as the events and adaptions that could affect its price. It will never change its character as a volatile coin in an instance because that's how it differs from fiat and that makes it as a good investment.

[amishmanish]

Sometimes I feel are we moving towards a global governance where there has to be a ideal currency transcending the boundaries of nations and where worth of money of individuals is not affected  by changes in currency value of nation, caused by whether inflation or disastrous policies. Just like how Russian common citizens are suffering due to severe fall of ruble or how  fall on venuzualean currency led suffering for people. To me, it seems bitcoin might be the answer to such problems. If that can be true someday in future, then bitcoin is not going to stabilize anytime soon. The pushes and pulls of regulation, libertarians, nation states and private institutions will continue to be a cause of volatility.

Indeed even if the last Bitcoin is mined, I don't think the price will be stable because the market is dictated by not only supply but also demand.  We can possibly see a surge after the last Bitcoin is mined, and a possible crash when the market sentiment is not good, after the last coin is mined.  Price isn't stable when it is increasing, nor stable if it is crashing.  I believe that this kind of cycle will always be in the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin has achieved a lot nearly 13 years since its inception. Ever since mainstream adoption skyrocketed like crazy, prices have never been the same as they were before. As it's been proven over time, Bitcoin outperforms Gold, Silver, and nearly every other asset on Earth. Despite widespread adoption of Bitcoin by mainstream businesses, companies, and governments alike, prices relative to Fiat haven't stabilized yet. It's something that I find odd, since institutional investors are already in the game. Not only that but some ETFs have been approved by the SEC. If Gold's price is relatively stable, why can't Bitcoin be the same?

Why do you think Bitcoin's price hasn't stabilized yet? Is there a possibility they will stabilize in the future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think the main reason of volatility in Bitcoin price is market cap which is still far low when we compare it with stocks and commodity markets and this is why any whale can shake its market easily. The other reason which puts its investors at high risk is negative news in the media like hacking of exchanges/wallets and rumors of selling by major investors . The governments all over the world are trying to  bring Bitcoin under their control so that people don't get into huge risks and troubles.

the main reason for bitcoins price. is not about bitcoin.. its about the exchange market orderbook.
if the average investors are spending say $400 a time.. here are some situations

in 2012 that $400 bought them 66 btc  ($6/btc)
in 2015 that $400 bought them 1 btc  ($400/btc)
in 2022 that $400 bought them 0.01btc ($40k/btc)

but here is the thing.
its not about the supply of btc. its not even about the demand of $.. its about the spread between price orders

EG imagine in 2012 each orderline was
1btc@ $5.998              1btc@ $5.960
1btc@ $5.999              1btc@ $5.980
1btc@ $6.000        vs   1btc@ $6.000
1btc@ $6.001              1btc@ $6.020
1btc@ $6.002              1btc@ $6.040

as you can see in the left instance the price movements from buying just 5btc is just 0.066% ($0.004c movement)
as you can see in the right instance the price movements from buying just 5btc is just 1.34% ($0.80c movement)

it may not look like much on an order book. but a difference of 0.066-1.34 is a 20x difference in volatility
..
lets take 2022 prices
1btc@ $42,999.98              1btc@ $42,998
1btc@ $42,999.99              1btc@ $42,999
1btc@ $43,000.00        vs   1btc@ $43,000
1btc@ $43,000.01              1btc@ $43.001
1btc@ $43,000.02              1btc@ $43.002

as you can see in the left instance the price movements from buying just 5btc is 0.000093% ($0.04c movement)
as you can see in the right instance the price movements from buying just 5btc is just 0.0093% ($4.00c movement)


so to solve this volatility, its simple
instead of letting exchanges make orders at large gaps between the order below it. they should allow orders to be filled more closely together at sub cent increments
where orders cant be placed at huge gaps between the next price

.. here is one exageration to demonstrate

if i had an exchange with only 5 users we could collude and set our sells at
1btc@ $42,999
1btc@ $43,999
1btc@ $44,000
1btc@ $45,000
1btc@ $46,000
and make the price increase by $4k just from selling 5btc

however as demonstrated previously if there were people competing with only $0.01 increments.
5 traders can only affect the price by 4cents.. not $4000

Just like any oyher currency, bitcoin isn't meant to be stable. Even fiat's value fluctuate from time to time depending on how the country's economy is doing. Bitcoin won't be stable because it the market moves in fluctuated manner. There would certainly pumps and dumps depending on the season and to the external factors affecting the market movement.

In the future, perhaps it could be lesser volatile. I guess that's a more suitable terminology to say. Lesser volatile in terms of having a fluctuation that is tolerable and predictable compared today that there are still a somewhat huge percentage to be mined. If in the future there would be small amount or none left, then probably its volatility will be affected which could cause predictable market prices. But right now, I don't really see it happening anytime soon. And even if it would, people would always find ways to make innovation. After all, bitcoin is in blockchain technology.

[Mamun74]

Bitcoin journey  has been going many years.I think bitcoin price always volatile. Bitcoin is a digital global and bitcoin is decentralization, it will never be stable. Bitcoin popular increase day by day and people still believe in bitcoin investment. I Think bitcoin investment will be increase in future and bitcoin price will be more grow up. So i think Bitcoin price will never be stable.

[Marvell1]

In addition to its convenience and decentralization, Bitcoin is known as a highly profitable investment. In fact, Bitcoin will be very difficult to stabilize when every bitcoin holder wants Bitcoin to increase in price to make a profit and buy when the Bitcoin price drops.
If one day bitcoin is as stable as gold and no longer volatile, I don't know if people will continue to hold bitcoin or will look to another venture capital channel.

[kramat]

Bitcoin price is not stabilize. It any time to changing. Bitcoin is not easy to control. It any time to up and down. Every bitcoin holdes want to be increase the price. But bitcoin prices not easy to guess. It any time to changing the price. If bitcoins increase in market place that time price will be go down. If bitcoin demand in market that time price will be increase. So time to acct.

[bitzizzix]

As of now bitcoin has not been stable, but with the speed at which it is growing, I can assure and believe that it will become one of the most important currencies in the world and provided the government does not screw it up.
and for another reason because bitcoin is not backed by anything and anyone or pegged to any currency, it just stands alone and I don't think it will be stable because of the fluctuations inherent in it, but we never know in the future.

[Abiky]

Below is the definition that I got out of Google

Stability describe the financial system of a nation that displays only minor fluctuations in output growth and exhibits a consistently low inflation rate.

If we take bitcoin at this position we have low inflation rate, but the fluctuation is high when there a big Whale in the market making a entry/exit in the market. This won't be happening with the traditional market, which is the key element in stabilizing the market.

Bitcoin's price depends heavily on supply and demand. An  asset preferred by investors and traders along with the speculation about price movements have big role in the value of bitcoin. Apart from this, influencers, media hype/negativity, and other big baggers have the ability to fluctuate the market. When these issues gets rectified the market will stabilize.

The problem with Bitcoin is that it's freely tradable across markets (something that's not the case with Fiat these days). You can trade different Fiat currencies through a FOREX markets, but ample regulations make price manipulations largely impossible. I'd prefer people rely on Bitcoin as a standard unit of account than Fiat altogether. I guess the vast majority of people are into Bitcoin to make money instead of using it as an alternative to Fiat. As long as there are big players (whales) influencing the market, we won't be going anywhere. Just my opinion

[suryana]

today bitcoin gets quite a lot of opposition where bitcoin is attacked from any aspect so that the price of bitcoin drops sharply on the stock market of course this is influenced by several factors where a lot of countries in Europe in particular reject or strongly condemn bitcoin so that it is also can affect the value of bitcoin especially at this time European countries are being engulfed in war which indirectly also makes bitcoin prices affected by the war, we really hope that this is only temporary and bitcoin prices can return to stability as has happened in several years the last one where bitcoin reached the peak of popularity with the highest price in the stock market
