I personally think it would be even more popular, since people would be able to convert fiat to Bitcoin and hold them without having to worry about it losing value.
It would be used more as a real payment method than it is now.

The only reason why bitcoin is so popular is because of the price. It changes its price randomly. So if the price of bitcoin is on stable pricenof 500$ for example, would it still be popular compared today ? Thats actually the most special thing about bitcoin ..

I disagree with you. Price is of course important, but bitcoin offers us a world without borders. You don't need to worry about paying taxes and fees. In addition, in any country where there is Internet you can use your money

I strongly suspect that a lot of people are going to disagree with you too

Especially, in respect to fees and more so in respect to those fees which you pay for transferring bitcoins from your wallet to someone else's. Apart from that, the use you are talking about (that of a global currency, or a means of payment) is basically irrelevant since most of Bitcoin value (whether you like or not) comes from speculation nowadays anyway

That's bad is it is just all about speculation because the FUDSTERS will play and I am pretty sure majority of the users of bitcoin
are not really monitoring the news so they won't be able to determine which are real news and fake news.

FUD spreaders are basically just traders that want to pump/dump a market without using their money. They create big announcements about the market and spread the humor. When people are newbie enough to believe all these lies that are written as if they were an official announcement from somewhere, then FUDsters are able to start some movements and later on harvest (either sell or buy) the fruits of their FUDs.

But sometimes when the price has already moved up/down, panic seller/buyers have nothing to do about it so they just sell/buy their coins as well due to the fear of losing the chance to buy/sell at a low/high price.
