Yes, Right now the market is not as matured as the equity ones. Once the market matures like when there are widely traded derivatives and ETFs on the exchanges it will become extremely difficult to manipulate the market. These along with regulations will mutere the trading market and thus less fluctuations in the prices. But this will take a lot of time like 5 years from now.
Obviously, since we are still in the very early phase and by the time it would get to that stage, I can imagine what the value must have been like and there would be more distribution since hopefully it would have been used as a currency than just a speculative asset which is the main reason why we have it as it is today. Mainstream adoption would actually solve a lot of this, and we will just have to be patient before we even end up getting there.

Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
I doubt if it will, if more and more people will start investing in crypto currency, that means there will be more and more people that will invest just for profit. Which will lead to either a quick pump or dump since there will be more whales in crypto.
Your statement is totally confusing to me as the fluctuation does not play much a role when you use it as a payment method, because you exchange your fiat money at the time when you want to pay something with bitcoin. The high fluctuation is only a problem for investors if they buy high priced coins like bitcoin and then the price decreases huge!
I would say price value of Bitcoin will go up and down base on the market reaction on trading.Base on the market history of Bitcoin prices it goes down to the level which no one would expect, then after the correction of the crypto market trading it goes up to 11k. And if we go back to ICO posting of Bitcoin we can see that Bitcoin is really on infantile stage, yet a lot of crypto currency investor put in their trust to Bitcoin, that's one of several reason where the Bitcoin is now. The fundamentals is good, volume of share are more stable.Yes, it may fluctuate as you would categorize the movement of this coin but no one can say how much it will go up in the next trading or even down, we can not predict the movement of the market, one can just speculate but nothing more accurate for the movement of the crypto market trading.
I think that it is possible that the price will not fluctuate much. I am sure that it will stabilize in the nearest future and it will be possible to use it as the main currency. I have read a lot of expert opinions.
I really believe this will happen but not anytime soon, Bitcoin is still young and it is too early for it to be stabilized. Plus the fact that Bitcoin is volatile by nature, so I know in time, these fluctuation will decrease and we will have a more stable price for Bitcoin making it more suitable of being used as a currency.

It is very possible OP i foresee that coming in the future although it may take a longer time for for such a thing to happen to Bitcoin since the adoption of Bitcoin and other altcoins has not reach up to 50 percent yet in that world. Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
yes, I think when demand and supply are balanced, I think the bitcoin price will be stable.
But if less volatile altcoin prices are a disadvantage, they will not attract big investors to jump in and we will not be able to follow those giants. So I always expect that the market of Crypto is always volatile.
The fluctuation that we see is because of the speculative analysis of bitcoin in the world. Its illegal at some places, not accepted as legal tender at others, while normal at some places. These kinds of unequal distribution of bitcoins brings this discrepancy in the system to wheather bitcoin is trustable or not. What if it dies tomorow, and different questions like this.
If bitcoins happens to be accepted worldwide with a similar norm, if not exactly same, then the fluctuations will be on check, because there wouldnt be some speculative news floating here and their changing the values day in day out.
Any asset which has high demand and scarce supply can’t help fluctuating a lot. Bitcoin has the biggest community of cherishers and investors from all over the world. Big whales also backup this coin the most. It is embraced by rich guys highly and whenever this happens, it soars up like crazy. December was actually a demonstration of this. Besides, stability is not a matter of few years. If bitcoins happens to be accepted worldwide with a similar norm, if not exactly same, then the fluctuations will be on check, because there wouldnt be some speculative news floating here and their changing the values day in day out.
Fluctuation is a common factor with bitcoin as well other digital assets. Just because of the fluctuation bitcoin has gained such a huge popularity in a short time period. Else, this could have never happened. Because, no investment has the potential to vary in such a margin which is the key factor for increased profiting and for the higher risk of losing.
Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
I think yes it is. But still time will be the one who can tell since change is really inevitable that is why there are still lots of factors to be considered before coming up into a conclusion. But certainly, I do believe that Bitcoin in the near future will just experience less fluctuation and will be just focused into providing benefits into its users that really tend to use it despite of all odds that it was experiencing and being faced over time. It is just need to have our full cooperation and participation for this to take effect and make it possible to happen. 
Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
Yeah, that's right. Actually, bitcoin is just a currency but since isn't accepted by most establishments around, people just considered it as a store of value and investment. Once cryptocurrency have been stabilized and accepted worldwide, definitely people will start using it for payment. 
Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
Yup, once bitcoin becomes accessible to everyone and is being used as global currency - then price will certainly become less volatile. New comers are the ones who are responsible for the price surge, so when the day comes that everybody has bitcoin (evenly) fluctuation becomes less.
Do you think that someday the prices for Bitcoin will fluctuate less and ppl will be able to use more as a currency, and not only as a form of investment?
I believe that as the price of bitcoin increases, the amplitude of its price fluctuations will only increase. The high volatility of bitcoin is an essential quality of bitcoin in its nature, since its price is not regulated by anyone and is formed solely on the basis of the supply-demand ratiowhich are never stable. In addition, the higher the bitcoin price rises, the more it will have room for price fluctuations. This is clearly demonstrated by the last, December drop in the price of bitcoin by 70 percent, from $ 20,000 to $ 6,000.

That is a possibility, but I think it is going to take a lot of time before we see that happening and this means that we will probably need to adapt and use bitcoin despite all of this, I know it is not ideal, it will be better if bitcoin was stable, but when you see the way bitcoin moves it is very difficult to imagine that is going to become stable soon, you just need to look at the crash that happened recently to know that stability is very far away.
Yes, they will fluctuate less in the future but not anytime soon. Crypto space is very recent compared to other currencies and extremely unregulated. It needs to survive a tad more financial problems in order to gain that trust to fluctuate less. Also a lot of regulation is required to only have honest coins in circulation.

I believe that, beside the technology behind, the fluctuation is the magic of cryptoworld, i mean everything is possible so if the volatility would stop then it would be only a boring coin.
Volatility is a problem if we want to use crypto as a true payment tool, which needs stability.
But when investing, it is the volatility that allows the highest earnings. (and also the biggest losses, of course ...)

I'm not sure that this will be a "perfect day" for numerous traders. Many earn good money on volatility. Probably, special funds will be created from fiat currencies that will ensure trade for crypto coins without the risk of losses due to volatility.
Price is an unpredictable thing because there are a lot of factors, which may influence it. You can read the law of law and supply as well as the price and quantity supplied. As for the currency, the number of traders also has its impact on the price
