Do you think they're going to rise soon?

As long as people can speculate and exchangers are unregulated no it won't stabilize soon.
Maybe when every coin has been mined and the bulk of coins aren't controlled by the seekrit bitcoin illuminati

Not sure if it will ever stabilize, but I am sure I can't reliably use Bitcoin for international money transfers until it does. This way it's more of a gamble than money transfer.

They're there, in their room.
Your mining rig is on fire, yet you're very calm.

How long does a transfer take? |
It was a cunning plan to have the funny man be the money fan of the punning clan.

I honestly feel nervous keeping even like 100$+ usd in bitcoins in my wallet because of fluctuating prices :S

Then that is too much money for you to keep in bitcoin. For all we know they could become worthless tomorrow. Just buy them as you spend them.

For all you know your local currency will be worth nothing tomorrow. Since many more people would be inconvenienced and it would lead to social unrest, this is somewhat less likely to happen as suddenly though.

The PM of Malaysia in the 90s insulated his country from foreign speculation which saved them from the economic crisis of the late 90s which destabilized every country around them. When he first suggested it at Davos economic conference they nearly laughed him out of the building then after his country survived the worst regional recession they hailed him as a hero.

i feel more nervous about fiat money and economies based around them, i've already seen huge devaluations in post-USSR when people's life savings could only buy box of matches
re stabilization: only constant is change =)

In contrast to what I said earlier, there is a model of evolution that proposes that most change occurs suddenly rather than gradually. It is termed punk-eek (punctuated equilibrium). I am not sure if anyone has tried to apply this to social/economic systems, but it seems like it could work.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuated_equilibrium |

I think the problem arises due to comparing apples vs oranges. If you care to clarify I'd appreciate it, my original comment about fractals was actually pretty vague and flippant. My bad.
