A steady price would be a best case scenario for Bitcoin; however, it would also indicate that adoption has stagnated, which is bad at this point.
Got a point. Todays market is better to be volatile than to be stagnant because probably there will be no people to engaged to cryptocurrency if it happens. But it is okay to be steady if people all around the world will use it and this is a good indication for it to become a currency.
with bitcoin we want people to engage it as a currency not as an investment so being stable is actually a good thing for bitcoin because it helps it be an even better currency than it already is.
what you are talking about only concerns altcoins that people purely engage in as an investment so if they become stable it is the death of them.
