Will the Price of bitcoin ever stabilize?

[Tmoonz]

Stabilization is way too far to be possible with bitcoin. Even fiat isn’t actually stabilized after all. Most particularly for bitcoin where volatility makes it its real essence and advantage, without it the rate of bitcoin to reach a massive price won’t somehow be realized. Let’s just say stabilization isn’t the goal for bitcoin, but global adoption comes first more than any other target goals we set for bitcoin.

Bitcoin holds volatility in high esteem as a factor and culture of it's functionality, it is flexible to adapt to those factors that can influence such volatility and the reason while new investors will keep coming in to the environment, Bitcoin price can never be stabilize I must say that such mindset can only be an illusion because the reality holds it that Bitcoin is volatile in nature. If the price of Bitcoin becomes stabilize the the interest of investors will be gone.

The price of the coin is already stable if you look some indicators like price range or outliers. As you may know for a long period of time (months) we have seen mostly the same price..

I guess it can be considered stable when we take into perspective other coins. Because other cryptocurrencies are incredibly unstable that it might be making bitcoin look stable but the truth is if you see it is still very volatile. It is unlike fiat still.

Its a missconception and a big error if people believe that the price of a product or something valuable couldn't change...everything will change on planet hearth...
of course with bitcoin we expect that price in the long term will be more higher or at least with a better power purchase...

Of course even fiat's value can change but it does not change in a day or in a week. It takes a long time which is why crypto is different.

I'm just curious. The beauty of investing in bitcoin or any other crypto is in it's volatility. Volatility makes smart investors to study the market trends- know when to buy and also when to sell in order to maximize profit. The value  of bitcoin is basically based on it's acceptability - as more and more countries adopt bitcoin and maybe build a reserve for it, it's value will definitely increase. However if bitcoin is generally adopted worldwide it's prize will become more stable and the volatility factor that investors leverage upon will fade. While it's possible that at this point the price may be $500k or more but this same price will become more stable and conversely not a very good investment option. Someone may say why has the price of gold not stabilized- well gold is physical and it's physical usage may increase. There are only 21million bitcoin that will ever be, but converting these to it's smallest unit (Sat.) and dividing it among the world's population is more than enough for everybody (approx. 300k sats), which further buttress my points on bitcoins potential stability with general acceptability.


If the price will ever stabilize, what are the factors we need to look out for as investor to know that the time has come for us to apply extraordinary wisdom ?

It is stabilizing right in front of your very eyes.

you don't see it well because you look at it far too closely

[Awaklara]

If the price of Bitcoin becomes stabilize the the interest of investors will be gone.

Because most investors today are interested in Bitcoin's volatility. If Bitcoin is finally used as legal tender for everyone in transactions, it will also not make Bitcoin stable.
Bitcoin's value tends to increase, which makes it very suitable for investment. Despite some people who do not like this view, the fact is that currently, more people see Bitcoin as a profitable investment asset. If it becomes stable, then all that happens is diverting the money we have.

Bitcoin is never going to stabilise. Just know that if bitcoin ever stabilizes, then it will no more be an investable asset. It will be used more as an alternative to fiat currency than being used as an asset to be invested on. You should not think of that because the thought of that only might discourage from investing in bitcoin. If bitcoin was a stable coin, I don’t think the mass adoption of it we have gotten so far would have been possible. When you’re explaining bitcoin to the people just as another currency that is decentralized, privacy inclined and security cautious, not most of them will find interest in it, but as an asset you can invest into and profit overtime, many will keep coming to accept and own some of them.

I agree that bitcoin will never be stable, but in the future, it is believed that its volatility will be lower than it is now. If it may have been realized that governments have considered bitcoin as their reserve asset and if many countries realized this approach, then the price of bitcoin might be a little more stable. I have noticed that there are concerns about it in the future, some are starting to think about it now.

But who knows, bitcoin will never be stable even though investors may not get the same high returns as recently. If conditions like that occur in the future, then rest assured bitcoin has reached a better stage of adoption. So far bitcoin has been adopted as a means of payment in several countries, but this is still limited to a few countries.

When BTC goes sideways I feel worse off somehow, it should improve business for many but I appreciate more the constant change for interest personally.  Either up or down its creating an opportunity for us of some kind, either its become too cheap or the hype drove it high and its a decent price you can take if you like.   Purely stable and sensible Im not sure would be to my liking apart from I know it would help the business to have stability.

With the dollar so uneven from rabid politics, BTC cant look too bad currently imo.

Even gold with its massive market cap and is a strategic reserve for many countries across the world isn't stable price action wise but if you look at higher time frame it will look stable, stable is in the eye of beholders. same with BTC.
Current price is already quite stable if you look at BTC back then before the market cap is this big and compare it to now. but for newbie it may not look stable enough.
I expected price of BTC to be like gold, stable but not really stable because it's an asset and unlike stablecoin, because BTC's value coming purely from market and market driven.

But at least Gold though has been with us, and has proven track records. Specially after world war II, gold really help a lot of countries recovered from the ruins of war. Now, going back to Bitcoin, it's very hard to see how it's going to be stable.

It's very volatile as compare to Gold and then it continue to struggles, it hasn't been accepted globally and there are a lot of resistance from most countries. And then we have regulations as well, causing it to be unstable. And now that Trump is the President, we've seen it goes from $109k to $78k in just couple of months, talking about how volatile the market is.

[GeorgeJohn]

The thing is that nobody knows the price of Bitcoin what it will yield because the price always interchange, you may see the price of Bitcoin at range of 100k today and before one week the price maybe higher or lesser than that, so I believe that price of Bitcoin is rotational and it doesn't be on one range or same range from my perspective.

[uchegod-21]

Ther will never be a time that bitcoin will become a stable coin. People are of the opinion that bitcoin price will extremely stabilise when there is massive adoption and that will attract more institutions to adopt bitcoin. I don't see that happening. The more people join this bitcoin bandwagon the more the price will rise, that will be the resultant effect we will see.

Bitcoin might also get to the point where developers will vote to increase the bitcoin fixed supply and that will raise crisis that will lead to a major hard fork. Apart from this, I don't see bitcoin price stabilizing in the future.

Can't deny that it's definitely volatile, but it's the same level of volatility as other risky asset, people also literally losing half of their stock portfolio value with the tariff alone.
Since bitcoin unlike gold that's literally a precious metal with physical form, the only way for bitcoin to become stable is to have market cap so massive its as big as gold.
By then you'd see bitcoin become more stable because adoption increase, holders become more decentralized than ever and so on.
It's too early to judge.

Volatility is one thing that makes BTC not be in one place and keeps new people especially, more or less interested in it. Many skip core values of BTC.

That's normal, and that's probably how it would be in the future, albeit it the motion which BTC would take would be smaller with each cycle.

I think when people predict bitcoin will be stable in the future, they are comparing it to the stability of gold, not to stable coins. This has been happening, bitcoin is becoming more and more stable. In the past, Bitcoin price has increased by millions, thousands of percent and helped many people earn millions of dollars with just a few hundred dollars of capital. But those days are gone and what we get when we invest in bitcoin these days is only x2 or x5, and the returns will probably be even lower in the future as bitcoin gets bigger and bigger.

Bitcoin is becoming stable, and that is inevitable.

Just as change is constant this is how stability is to Bitcoin, you can't predict it's actual state or price overtime and it's been this way. Yes volatility is one measure in which one get to invest in Bitcoin amidst it's fluctuations rate and constant change in price. And again overtime we've experience or observed the adoption of Bitcoin in an increasingly manner but it doesn't guarantee any stability in price so I'll say in regards to this it'll definitely take a long while for it's price to be at a stable rate.

[STT]

Good premise for predicting a price is this idea of balance is quite fair.   Also have to consider a bias or trend to the upside and so on but right now I go with the balance idea.
  Here is my take for the ladder up from late last year and my very simple counter for that would be we take the ladder or even fall back down.  Here BTC likely stablizes and then I hope a proper rise later, seems to be the case it will happen:

Volatility is one of the main features of bitcoin and for that, there will not be any time that the price of volatile assets will ever stabilize Regarding the issues with why we hard Volatilities the answer is that volatility gives investors two signals when it uptrend volatility it gives holders the chance to cash out their profits.


When the volatility hits bitcoin to a downtrend it gives investors the chance to buy bitcoin at a discounted price then, so we need to accept both side effects of volatility in the bitcoin market.

That is the actual fact,  bitcoin can never be stable in price . Volatility are part of what makes bitcoin more interesting  and profitable.

Bitcoin is a digital asset that you buy and hold  expecting of making profits in return, if  the asset is in a kind of fix or stable price state, how do you make your profit?

However, I don't think bitcoin will ever be stable or fixed in price or value because volatility is a major characteristic or feature that makes bitcoin more interested an d profitable. Thank you.

We know that Bitcoin was not meant to stable, volatility has been a thing for Bitcoin and as a matter of fact I don't think anyone will be expecting a volatile asset to be stable just like that, I know sometimes we think in a wide range to get the comments on what people thinks about the subject matter, just as you said the beauty of individuals considering an investment in Bitcoin lies in it's volatility meaning that many bitcoiners are into it because they knows what volatility can do, that's to say price can drop and rise at anytime and I believe that's the hope of many investor and also the reason they got the courage to invest in Bitcoin in the place, op don't you also think that if Bitcoin becomes stable, it may scare people away from investing in it.
I think volatility is even the reason why Bitcoin is still in existence so why will I even think that Bitcoin price will be stable, if I should think that way that's to say that am trying say that Bitcoin purpose of existence should be defeated.

That's normal, and that's probably how it would be in the future, albeit it the motion which BTC would take would be smaller with each cycle.

As long as there is still a volume of demand and supply for Bitcoin in the market, its volatility and marketcap volume will always be different from each cycle although the level of difference may not always be the same. But it will always be influenced by the amount of demand and supply from the market because that is what sometimes makes the price of Bitcoin unstable and continues to have a level of increase and decrease at all times.

If the price of Bitcoin becomes stabilize the the interest of investors will be gone.

If someone is looking for stability then he can opt for schemes like investing in bank schemes where there is no volatility just a constant fix profit. But keep in mind that profit given by bank is proportional to inflation rate. The volatility in price of Bitcoin is like a double edge sword, it can swing in both directions. The price of Bitcoin was around 25k in July 2023 and in less then two years it jumped from 25k to 109k, in other words it's the volatility that has taken value of Bitcoin so high. Not many things in human history has gone so high in such short duration and credit for that goes to bitcoin volatility.
