There are stocks, banknotes, golds... out there. Some are volatile some are not. We have gold based token, stablecoins are being talked lately so much, and the other ones like security, utility tokens which I expect volatile...

I agree with your opinion, crypto has an unstable value like gold, if crypto is used for daily transactions like the currency we use in the real world, then I think crypto will have a stable value.

Perhaps if only in the distant future. But now it's impossible to imagine. So far, the price of gold is controlled by Central banks

Yes, in the future the prices of the cryptocurrencies will begin to be more stabilised then they are now. However, now we are still in the early stages and we can see frequently changes in prices for some altcoins of more than 100% in a day.

I think that cryptocurrency is now an investment commodity, and gold has become a commodity with a horizontal price. The price of cryptocurrency changes every day, so it is very unstable!

Just speaking the fact here, crypto is being used as a speculative tool heavily where gold, so many people consider as an investment or a form of wealth saving, this alone answers your question that cryptocurrency will never ever become as stable as gold and the market capitalization is kinda too low for bitcoin or any crypto summed up to prevent any form of manipulation, even if bill gates want he would easily manipulate the price of bitcoin.

Gold is a household name and crypto has yet to reach that kind of recognition. That said, the very comparison makes it a worthy investment. As for volatility, there you have got it wrong!

Most people prefer to invest in gold over crypto, because gold price is more stable. Investing in crypto is very risky, because the price is very volatile. If everyone uses crypto in everyday life, I believe the price of crypto can be stable. If everyone knows the advantages of crypto, I think many people will invest in crypto. If we invest in crypto for a long time, then the profits are huge than investing in gold. Not to mention the technology owned by crypto, for those who know for sure they will be interested in investing in crypto.
It is true that most people prefer to invest in gold than to invest in cryptocurrencies, but I really think that is just because gold has been around for so long, but that is going to change especially when people begin to realize that the profits that they can get with cryptocurrencies are way higher than anything that they could get with gold, in my opinion you should only put your money in gold if you are already satisfied with the size of your wealth, but if that is not the case then it is way better to invest in cryptocurrencies since the potential to grow your investment in a fast way is incredible.

Many people compare crypto to gold, and I see so many similarities as well.

I believe one day crypto can be less volatile than gold. If more people adopt, and address values to everyday items, trading in a daily basis, (like for grocery shopping) then crypto will  be easier to use, safer, fluctuate less in terms of prices, and a lot more stable.

What do you guys think?
Encryption should be more unstable.

With the way that crypto is positioned, there is no way that cryptos will be more stable than gold. Gold is one of the most stable assets in the world and even when it falls, it does so by a small margin. Which is why for people who do not have the heart for volatile investments should stick with gold.

I think until now gold will be more stable than crypto. That's because gold is worth a physical investment whose price can be controlled, while crypto digital investment without control and its price depends on market demand.

The reason why the Bitcoin price is so volatile is because the bitcoins are not evenly distributed to a lot of people. You still get a few "Whales" with loads of coins that can manipulate the price. When coins are distributed more evenly, these "Whales" will have less coins to dump on markets or less fiat to buy big amounts of coins.

So you will have a much less volatile price movement in theory on the exchanges, because more people are influencing the price and not only a small group of individuals with a lot of coins/fiat.  
according to this site and it looks like more than 80% of bitcoin has owned by less than 0.68% from the total address existing in the bitcoin blockchain.
But if the bitcoin even had fair distribution and it will be so volatile consider the whale can manipulate the market. Those people with infinite money can do anything to the market,.

Bitcoin price instability is also driven largely by the various perceptions of intrinsic value of cryptocurrency as a store of value and value transfer methods. Because of these two factors, the current Bitcoin spot price varies against the dollar and other fiat currencies.

The value of gold always rises every year and minimal inflation risk:
Gold trading has a simpler and easier analysis.
Gold prices are quite strong against the crisis and are resistant to inflation.
it's hard for crypto to match the gold stability.

Yes it is possible. But to begin with, the cryptocurrency should completely replace real money. But in general Bitkoin is the same gold, only it is digital.
Well to me bitcoin is not gold but bitcoin is something really better than gold as we can see nothing is that much high in price as much as bitcoin is and nothing gives profit higher than bitcoin. Bitcoin use to increase and decrease in price it is because it has volatile nature whenever people show interest for bitcoin to invest it use to increase in price, the same way it decreases but the differed I have noticed between gold and bitcoin is, bitcoin increases very high but most of time gold use to remain at the same position.

I hope that a single cryptocurrency will appear in the world, which will not allow States to speculate with their currency, which is happening today all the time.

Bitcoin will eventually end up like gold. Gold has a very long history behind it and bitcoin is at its early stage yet so it takes time for that to happen. If all 21 million bitcoin will be mined and circulated then absolutely the means that it is accepted worldwide and people will start using it and no entity will manipulate it anymore. That can lessen the volatility of bitcoin's price.
There is in fact a big chance that happens, bitcoin has a very limited supply and when something has a very limited supply it has a tendency to go up in value and when we take into account that the value of bitcoin is so high despite the fact that very few people around the world have adopted, it is very likely that we are going to see a huge price when people finally realize the scam that is the fiat economy, at that point I think we're going to see adoption growing incredibly fast and at that point the volatility could go down somewhat.
