I don't think it will be popular, I'll leave the bitcoin because the same as real money, real money is even better because there is no need to exchange the exchanger bitcoin.
then what if bitcoin makes your life and future better? Isn't you would need to leave bitcoin and find a real job in the real world? For me bitcoin can make our future better. If bitcoin had a stable price then it would be popular for me because what if bitcoin price is stable in $1,600 now and its not dumping because it had a stable price? So definitely it would be popular because it can't dump and most is it can pump

hello guy's...!! I think bitcoin is day by day most popular currency in the world but the bitcoin price is needs to be more stable.
Precisely what makes bitcoin become popular day by day is price fluctuations. Without fluctuations I'm sure few will be interested in bitcoin. So I prefer fluctuations to continue to exist

A stable price will only make the popularity of the bitcoin decrease. I think you can see most users are interested in making bitcoins because of the fluctuations that exist in bitcoin prices

Bitcoin can still be popular if the price is stable, only the kind of users will change, but popularity will either  the same or increase.

Truly. Only those people that are too afraid to take risk by buying something very volatile will replace us. The popularity will still be the same since people can't choose to just forget about bitcoins. But in due time, bitcoin will nothing but a memory as a coin that used to be very profitable but got destroyed when the price became fixed/stable.

The popularity will definitely increase initially since it will be talked by people a lot. I don't think a stable price necessarily attracts investors, an increasing price is the one that does.

If Bitcoin had a stable price range and didn't go up or down ever then I wouldn't look at the charts as much to see how many people were using Bitcoin. Since Bitcoin is really volatile and the price movement is what most of the people on this forum look for, there would be a small amount of threads being made about the price and the whole Bitcointalk website activity will have a huge decrease. I am sure that this website wouldn't have that much people talking to each other too.
actually things make bitcoin popular not only about price , people nowadays are too naive to call that price are everything . but it is not , once bitcoin has been used and adopted globally almost with everybody who live in this world just like they use fiat .

the price will not as necessary as people thought now i guess , let's see.
You cannot completely deny that the price is not an important factor to get the attention of the common people. Actually in the beginning when it was worthless it haven't gained popularity, only the people who have good knowledge about the technology adopted it. Later on slowly the innovative frame work generated a value for it as well the unique features made user give a try on it and slowly things changed and has now been popular to be used as a currency.

Not the most popular currency in the world but the most popular crypto currency in the crypto world, we have our own world man, the real world is for fiat because it was designed by the government. Bitcoin will be more popular in the coming years but will never surpass the popularity of fiat.

If it does not go up and down then it is not bitcoin, we have limited supply and the demand is not constant although by trend it is increasing. You have to live with that is the nature of bitcoin so you will be able to predict it right if you are trading this assets.

It is still Bitcoin if it does not go up and down.  Remember bitcoin price is driven by demands.  If price of bitcoin stalled and become stagnant, does it means this Bitcoin we known is not Bitcoin because it became stagnant?  Of course it is still the same Bitcoins.  And if we rely in your definition, then altcoins that goes up and down in price is bitcoin too?  Kinda confusing is not it?  Bitcoin is not define by price rather by the codes and blockchain that is created and designed by Satoshi Nakamoto.  No matter what happen to the price as long as the code and blockchain is the same, it is still the same Bitcoin.



Bitcoin can still be popular if the price is stable, only the kind of users will change, but popularity will either  the same or increase.

Yeah , totally true but here you need to be think that the most of the people ( usually bitcoiners) are no making earning from the bitcoin hold and only bitcoin trading .
Here most of the users are making money from the altcoins only because rise and down in the price is jump from a zero to 1000 mores times .So to having Investment of your Money in the altcoins making us more profitable than what we are getting in the altcoins .
But here the demands of the bitcoin s increasing is showing directly that what the bitcoin is , no doubt that the bitcoin will be use by the people even if it have stable price because​ trading without bitcoin in altcoins is very tough job .

Yes it will probably be like gold in digital form but I'm not sure it will happen because bitcoin is decentral and bitcoin holders will not get much profit, I like the fluctuating bitcoin
The fluctuation is good for traders who sell and purchase the bitcoin looking at the prices. But for those the rise and down is a bit discouraging who want to save it for a long term. Like people having future plans of 2020. They will want the persistent increase in the prices. These are the people who are valuing the bitcoin as the digital gold.
It's good for traders yeah, but it's bad for the users...
Fluctuations make it popular among people who wants to trade with high volatility but that's all.
It makes it unatrative for investors and it makes it very difficult to use :/
To date, Bitcoin has become a popular currency, not only because of volatility, but also because it is possible to avoid paying taxes. For the new rich people this is a decisive factor in order not to lose their incomes.

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 own opinion if bitcoin had a stable price, yes it can be popular because the number of bitcoin users could increase. We hope that it could be true that someday bitcoin will have a stable price because it will help us very much.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
The answer depends on what do you mean by words "used" and "popular". If Bitcoin price was stable, it would be more accepted as a currency, but it's hard to tell how big this effect would be, since there are many other factors that prevent mass adoption. As for trading, in real life nothing stays the same in price for long, unless it's useless (like dead altcoins). So it's unrealistic to think about effects of stale price on trading.
You are definitely right. In our world there isn't a stable value of currencies, Volatility must be in financial market. So, I will reply to your question by YES.
Even if bitcoin price will be stable, I think people will use it like other currencies. Also with this high value everybody want use it.

People like it because it is volatile, It may be used as a digital currency but I don't think that it will be as popular as what is right now. It is popular because of it's volatility, though not only volatility but there are still others, but with a stable price it will be just used, but not that popular.
Yeah maybe bitcoin can still be used although stable. May be used as currency. But I doubt the bitcoin will remain popular. Because I'm sure the current user prefers a fluctuating price


When bitcoin was first announced it was thought to be a currency. But now the picture is different since the acceptance of bitcoin is huge and that the traders have been trading huge volumes of bitcoin, its literally a trading commodity like metals. It will be used as a currency no doubt but its trading is much more profitable for those people ho dont have nearby bitcoin accepting merchants.

Yes off course, if it has a stable price it would be known in all countries why? because it is has the highest value among all , it is more than other alternative coin out there. Therefore it will be famous, it will be in the highest rank among other cryptocurrency or in other currency as well, but I think bitcoin will not be stable we cannot predict it but we know that it will be popular.
I don't think so, Most people came to bitcoin because of the fact that it is a good long term investment . There will be some people who will stay but of course some will leave it to go to another altcoin . Have you seen the other altcoins? Some of them already surpassed bitcoin in terms of features, the big reason why bitcoin still reigned all other cryptocurrency is because of its popularity . If bitcoin had a stable price then we might be able to see a close competition between it and other altcoins .
