Stable prices will attract more bitcoin users, but if the price has dropped to less than $1, I think everyone will try to find another coin to replace bitcoin

Yes I think it will be partly popular but not so popular as it is right now, its because it was so profitable back in the days due to that it was very profitable.

i think if more people know about bitcoin then bitcoin can be popular and its not about bitcoin had a stable price, its about more people that will want to know and use bitcoin itself that will make bitcoin more popular.
I think that too.. price of bitcoin make it popular but it is not only because of it's price. bitcoin have lot more features and flexibility to use and this is also making it very popular among the new peoples.. specially it's feature of anonymity.

And not just with the price, if bitcoin is really a less hassle one, some people will surely try this crypto since they want to see some different way in sending and receving money.
Bitcoin transaction no doubt a less hassle one when it use to send money from country to country.
I don't quite understand what you mean by being "really a less hassle one". If you refer to setting up a desktop wallet (difficulty thereof), I think this is not what the majority of people (your average Joe and Jill) should try doing. They should use reputable and reliable online wallets instead. I understand that what I say may sound as a heresy of sorts and will certainly be perceived as such by some, but before pointing a finger at me think about the real risks involved in both of these scenarios, i.e. using an online wallet vs setting up a desktop wallet by an incomputerate individual (computer illiterate if you don't mind)...
Other than that, nothing could possibly beat the easiness and convenience with which you can send and receive money using an online wallet

I suppose that Bitcoin is popular because of two things: anonymity (+independence of government) and price unstability. Why does price unstability make Bitcoin popular? Because people believe they can win on these changes. Bitcoin will still be popular because of anonymity but less popular than now, because of the absence of price unstability.
The real reason here is bitcoin is easy to use and safe at the same, even how good the price people would still not trusts bitcoin if there are flaws in the system, and as I have observed and I am sure many will also agree with me, bitcoin is really safe and secured.

Do you think if BTC had a stable price which could only be altered by $0.01-0.10 it would still be as popular and as used?
I think there is no reason not to like the price being stable.
I hope that it will keep on moving.

I'm pretty sure it won't. It probably would get more and more publicity over time, but less to start off with. I heard of bitcoin through the news, after the Gox hack. So I guess I wouldn't be here.

If this becomes stable, it would be like fiat where the ups and downs are only in cents.
Unless a huge downfall or something can affect the price.
Unless a huge downfall or something can affect the price.
Then investing in bitcoin won't be that attractive since there is not much movement in price... Some people hoard bitcoin because it keeps on moving and they could take advantage of those ups and downs to earn in trading... But for sure if the price is stable many of those who use fiat in the internet or using their card might start shifting to bitcoin..
No mate. It is still attractive. Look how active fiat trades today, PHP to USD, USD to EURO, YEN to YUAN etc.
Trades are really profitable even those have stable price. Even for a cents movement, the impact is really noticeable when you do fiat trades.
I don't get what you are pointing. I give some examples above and it doesn't mean you have to trade them all. And of course you will have to do trades on a single one especially in fiat trades. After all, it's a traders own desire.
Also, that sole trades didn't happening in the world of crypto where aside from bitcoin, others also doing altcoin trades at the same time but still they are enhancing their trading skills.

If the price is high and stable, I guess there might be a chance of it being still as popular.
If the price is less and stable, then people who hold might dump all their coins and Bitcoin might slowly become worthless.
You can't really know but I guess, it's best the way it is right now.

If it was stable, for many years, then it will definitely attract more people. They will be able to purchase things without worry that the price would go up a day later. But if tens of millions of people were using bitcoin because it was stable, and then all of a sudden it had a few hundred dollars crash, then it would become very much hated by a good percentage of those people.
