Bitcoin will not be stable for long as you we know that the price is always changing.It falls and rises with time.When it rises, it comes as a good news to the people.
We can't predict what will happen in the future.
Yes, I think it would attract the same amount of people, if not more - as mentioned by Lauda. Many people are afraid to invest into cryptocurrencies because of their fluctuating value. Same goes for businesses, if Bitcoin's value dropped drastically (highly unlikely, but still), then businesses would surely loose a lot of money, if not having to close down their store. For the average consumer, I think it would attract more and Bitcoin would start to be used mainly as a currency, and not an investment asset.
Nope. If Bitcoin had a stable price many users will deal with it as normal currency to buy and sell things online, but not as an asset which can give you the opportunity to make good profit with time. This way many people will feel uncomfortable using Bitcoin.
I think it will be popular but not that popular as bitcoin is right now. Most of the investors put their money into bitcoin beccause they knew it will be having a good price in the future amd they can see that quickly.
I don't know how people will be uncomfortable with it, who don't want a currency you can use online right? They will be using it and I think there will be no debate about transactions and development of bitcoin.
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?
In my opinion, it would be more popular. Maybe, it is why governments doubt about making Bitcoi and other cryptocurrency, legal. And the possible reason is that, its price changes from time to time which won't always be an advantage. If the change is making its value high, it is good but there are times that its price is falling. If it will be stable, or better if highly stable, it will be more popular to most countries and people because the risk of losing money on investing to it will be lessen.

I dont think it would be as popular in the mainstream, no.
The insanely high gains (and lack of stability in a generally upward direction) is what has made bitcoin so incredibly popular over the last while.
If it had a stable price it would still have all of its features (decentralization, fast transfers, cheaper transfers, finite supply, easily stored, etc.) but I doubt that it would have the same attention. Returns garner the TV and media attention

Stability is a very strange term for bitcoin. The reason why people are attracted by bitcoin is the price fluctutations. Without this fluctuation, I don't think that the crowds would get attracted by bitcoin. The price should move up and down.
I think although bitcoin prices have stable phase but certainly still have good chance of course to earn a breeding income, such as trading and investment altcoin and others..
In investing we are only more concern on the price to increase but traders would love to see the price moving.Personally I love to trade since the volatile nature of bitcoin gives a lot of opportunity to day traders like me, but I never failed to allocate
a certain percentage for the future because I certainly believe it will worth bigger as value increases.

Well, I guess btc will still be popular even at a stable price. Usually, investors are looking for stability before they invest so I'm sure that btc will not lose an investor. Though, it being unstable is a great factor that attracts more people into it especially traders. It will still be popular even if the value is stable but not so much as popular as it is today. So I'd still go with unstable since it is the very reason why it got so popular that most people are eager to have their own btc.
- In addition, bitcoin is a place for whales to make money, they will not let the price of the bitcoin stabilize, they will always pump strong or dump strong to make money with bitcoin, wanting the price of bitcoin stable is an impossible thing

I doubt that it would be this popular. Many of us that have been on this board witness the huge increase a flood of new coins and projects that happen every time BTC has a jump in price. 
I think, if bitcoin has a stable value. Means bitcoin very popular and familiar used by people around the world and many merchants who receive bitcoin as means of payment for every financial transaction. And hopefully stability never happens, so i can continue to make money from coinmarket.
Bitcoin value being stabled is not possible. No currency in the world can achieve stable value. Bitcoin users are increasing and decreasing every day. That results in changing of demand and that led to change of value. So let suppose its value become stable. Then that will depend on that value. If that stabled value is higher than people will definitely keep using it. But in other case that is value being low, in that case people will of course stop using it and will start looking for some new and better currency. 
Personally I think that a very large percentage of people who deal in bitcoin do it because of the continuing price trend upwards. If the price was stable I think you would see many of those people drop out. However from an economic point of view, for the price to be stable demand and supply would have to be equal and given that you would assume there are a large number of people actively using bitcoins.
I think the stable price will not get more popularity than unstable price. it is not like the conventional money that is why the stable price will not suit with it. it has become popular around the world due to its increasing rate of price. if this price value would not increase then this popularity would not have been established as like today. so the stable price will not encourage the people to join this platform.
The fact is that it is an unstable price that gives popularity to bitcoins among traders and this gives an opportunity for a good profit on the difference in the price of Bitcoin. But if we hope for the popularity of Bitcoin Among the whole society, then every person on Earth will be satisfied only because the currency has a certain stability.

If the story of bitcoin or any related to it, its stability or anything if not happen. It would be a different story by now and no one will have hold there bitcoins and in the end the price will dropped.
