No i won't say low volatility in bitcoin price is a threat to bitcoin..Low volatility on the other hand is making bitcoin stable and more acceptable to many users...
because in earlier time when bitcoin was so volatile then some people were able to make high profit and some were in loss as a result some people feared from the bitcoin prices but now it's becoming stable slowly

Depends from a look of your perspective.
some say low volatility isn't a threat other it is.
I think we all agree that this is good if price goes UP

Dull-markets with little chance to trade, low volume, less media coverage, fewer new users:
Are we in danger of slowly being bored to death?

2015, the year of "meh".
Miners' revenue and Bitcoin transaction volume in USD have also been roughly flat for most of 2015.
Many people claim "high volatility" makes Bitcoin difficult for businesses to use, hard to hold, etc.

I don't think that the days of low volatility are already here. There will be some more very volatile time in front of us. Our market is just to small to be stable enough.
The last stable weeks are just because nothing major was going on. We have become dull. You see how markets are reacting already on Gemini exchange announcement.
Just when we thought the low volatility was boring, Bitcoin has made a nice move up.
Prepare for more volatility in the coming days.

Although most in this thread are of the opposite opinion, I tend to agree that we are approaching the point in time in which there is too little Bitcoin volatility. On average Bitcoin is maintaining around 2.5% daily volatility, which sounds great, but when you measure it (as a stock), various indicators point to it being more dangerous than not. Average middle cap stocks (which is what the marketcap of BTC is still most closely related to), usually average around a 4-5% daily volatility. Additionally, pegging BTC to an RSI also makes it seems fairly weak.
Although there is the caveat that BTC trades are traditionally "cheaper" (since they're based on a matter of a few basis points) than with normal stock brokerages, the relative difference still outweighs the low volatility seen in the BTC market as a sign of concern.

Low volatility isn't a threat. It's just not really useful for speculators and day-traders I guess.
I have nothing agains a higher volatility as long as the chart is moving north.

Unless they have free or almost free trades, I can get bitcoin on Coinbase, which would, hopefully, lower their higher trade costs.
"25 basis points [.25%] the value of every trade will be applied to both buyers and sellers."
While we are talking about volatility, Gemini is up for invitations at least. Trading starts Thursday, but what is the point, really?

Low volatility ensures that people who enter Bitcoin now don't do so with a "get rich quick" attitude.
This would be more sustainable in the long run.

High volatility would make traders happy, but merchants won't be happy
But, low volatility would make merchants happy, but traders won't be happy
It means high & low volatility could be a threat to bitcoin, but low volatility is the best option since many people (expect traders) would be happy because they can use bitcoin without worry about bitcoin's volatility

I'm getting used to seeing statements like "High volatility would make traders happy / low volatility ... traders won't be happy", but it's surprising when the people making such statements are advertising a derivatives exchange in their signature. There are plenty of commodities with volatility lower than BTC, yet traders still manage to trade successfully. Low volatility is not something traders should fear (or, to be fair, expect to last forever), particularly now that there is a developing market for BTC derivatives (Gemini, Quedex are imminent, and there's at least one other already trading that I probably don't need to mention!)
It's not becoming.. it already has been do a while. If you hadn't noticed. Every new crash happens harder and with less volume. My prediction is that by the end of the year people dumping 100-200btc can cause panic and a crash.
Dull markets are a chance to accumulate coins safely. I don't think low volatility is a threat to bitcoin, it may even make people feel brave enough to invest for the first time.
Now is a good time to invest with the halving set to take place next summer.

Yes, both low volatility and high volatility will simultaneously end Bitcoin.
you are just trolling. at least give us an explanation of why you think the volatility will end bitcoin. volatility is a great thing for us as traders.
Trolling? I think the clue was in two mutually exclusive things happening simultaneously.
More importantly, with markets for BTC derivatives developing and maturing, low volatility can now be traded as well. I've done better trading low volatility than trying to trade high volatility. I believe low volatility is beneficial to all of our community - not just traders like us, but non-traders using BTC as well. What drew me to Bitcoin initially was a then-recent experience of receiving a salary in one country, in one currency, while paying a mortgage in another country, in another currency. That's more comfortable when volatility is low, and I imagine businesses selling products for BTC would feel much the same.
Volatility will return, but when everybody doesn't care about Bitcoin anymore.
so volatility will return after bitcoin death ?

low volatility does not mean stagnation, it can mean gradual increase, which everyone is hoping for
therefore you can have both, adoption + stability, it's up to the manipulators
