...
Everybody who says dollar is more "stable" than gold is a sad, misinformed person. Dollar is stable strictly when measured in dollars...

No, the dollar is stable in terms of its buying power.
With USD, I can be fairly certain my food basket will to cost me as much as it did ...oh, let's say... a day ago.
With Bitcoin, the price is calculated on the spot, and is good for exactly 10 minutes.
Ten minutes.
Ten.
Price stays constant for ten (TEN) minutes.
Now if USD prices of goods changed every ten minutes, while BTC prices remained constant, you'd have a point.  In the meantime, back you go.


Get well soon!

U cant compare usd and bitcoin in terms of volatility not fair comparison.. however lets try:

Usd volume daily $4 trillion
btc volume daily $4 million

Usd basket volatility = 0.1% daily
btc volatility = 10% daily

Btc adjusted volatility if volume was $4 trilliion = 0.000001%

Now which one looks more stable???

Comparing USD volatility to BTC?  You're thinking of that batshit crazy rpietila.  I agree, laughable.
I'm pretty much with you on BTC being a hundred times as volatile as USD, but caveat:  The prices in my grocery store aren't adjusted every ten minutes, not even by .1% Cheesy

If BTC had volume of $4trillion, it would be USD, and thus stable.  It's not, so it ain't.
 
As far as your "adjusted volatility," you've clearly been to universities, but I'm afraid it don't work like you think it does Cheesy

Awesome article, exactly what is missing from the central planning oriented dev talk. Can we get a visual version of this argument? I suspect the two-part article's length and weightiness is limiting its virality as of now.

When you consider it for a bit, it starts to seem strikingly obvious: node operators offer a valuable service to miners and users, and although right now they do so for free, when and if it starts to be difficult for them to do so, a market will form on its own as node operators and other interested parties negotiate their own rules and fees.

Blocksize should have no hard limit. As with everything else, it should be economically limited. The trick is not to panic about "how the market could possibly handle it without central planning." No one is smart enough to figure out all the little rules and stipulations for each economic relationship, let alone do so in advance, let alone get consensus on such rules. Just remove the cap and let the market work. Babying the market with paternalism in the form of artificial scarcity just leaves the space open for competitors to stick their oars in.

Once btc has volume of $4 trillion of purchasing power today in btc then prices in the stores will be in btc thus volatility is just on the market and that low value that i came up with... Because of limited supply volatility will tend towards 0 as population increases

If my shitcoin had "$4 trillion of purchasing power," it wouldn't be the shitcoin that it is, would it?  How many different ways must this be restated?

TL;DR: Here's your reasoning:
"Once pigs seat more people than an A380 & start to fly just as fast, they would give Airbus some competition."
True.  They would.  Caveat:  They don't, and Airbus ain't worried.  Ain't likely to, either.

@Wekkel: Make that "didn't care."

A token with inherent utility is better than the one without it. Market will adjust on its own.

There are no guarantees in life. Some take their chances and act. Others just try to keep a player down. Others never knew what hit them.

So be it.

WTF does that even mean?  

@Wekkel re. "Some take their chances and act":  You're just running with scissors.  Nothing laudable about that.
