low volatility is good as it demonstrates BTC can be as stable as any other currency/commodity whatever.

If fact the BTC has be stable than many currencies over the last few months

Low volatility is welcome when it has triumphed. Right now it's a long way from that and stagnation isn't the healthiest of signs.

Many people are ready for the next Bitcoin party to finally start, but the best moments can take a really long time to develop.
Agreed, that there are some 'seriously' good signs.  Smiley

we've had enough volatility already. exchanges getting hacked, stolen coins getting dumped, etc. the market isn't moving anymore with bad or good news. i think at some point the volatility will vanish and we'll see the price go up or down only a few bucks per month.

Merchants would probably consider taking up bitcoin payments as they see that it has decreased volatility and can now be used on their businesses. I don't think that it will be a major problem for bitcoin, but rather a start of what's coming. Maybe some people are "bored to death" because of the loss of the roller coaster rides, but all in all and in actuality, that's a good sign. Smiley

Many people claim "high volatility" makes Bitcoin difficult for businesses to use, hard to hold, etc.
Is low volatility becoming a threat to Bitcoin?
Why?
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?


I don't think this will become a serious threat. The most interesting stuff is being played right now, this translates into a stable price because all the moves are being made under the blanket. Whales are buying slowly to not destabilize the market (which wouldn't be beneficial). The 2015-2016 era is the era of stacking up while the software gets better and the infrastructure around it gets built. After 2016 I think we will see some serious shit.
