I think the problem in using of bitcoin is the price of bitcoin that always changed every hours. It's good for a trader, but it's not good for me that always buying bitcoin every week.
it depends on what you are doing with your coins. if you are constantly spending them, then i can agree that a volatile price is not always wanted by you. but if you just save your coins for the long term, then simply ignore the volatility and try to use it in your advantage by trading from time to time. this is of course assuming you have at least a basic understanding of trading.
