Actually, I like this kind of situation where btc drop slowly but rises slowly too (in short, much stable) rather than having a big rise but having a devastating drop too (like what happened before 2017 ends). For me there's nothing to worry about this because btc's price still looks fine
, it requires more patience than the usual for all of us to be honest but I think that's already easy to deal with since it is basically required before entering crypto world.
Going forward, do you think a slow steady rise, rather than a speedy erratic rise is good for bitcoin to get "accepted" all over the world?
I don't think so. Btc is famous for its characteristic of being volatile, if it becomes more stable in the long run then its now nearly comparable to fiat. Investors will not become interested anymore because the opportunity of making profit form btc's fluctuations is now less.
