Do you remember the times when Bitcoin prices were all over the place and price swings of $300 to $500 in any direction was
normal.

Well, back then, everyone were moaning and complaining about the high volatility and how this negatively
impacted the merchants and using Bitcoin as a payment option.
How things have changed in a matter of 1 to 2 years is astonishing, because now people are complaining about the lack of
volatility and how boring Bitcoin has become.

Do we know what we want or are we divided in our goals, since more speculators have entered the Bitcoin scene in 2017.

Let's discuss.
Cryptocurrency enthusiast and investors I think really cannot complain about volatility,as that remains a veritable means of earning huge bucks,buy little,wait for a pump and sell to make huge profits,thats where the advantage of volatility comes in,the astronomical rise can be possible at any given time
But merchants really do not favor volatility and you really cannot blame them,they are all about everyday profits,and cannot really accept payments in no exact price(cryptocurrency),they obviously should prefer the more stable fiat..
But generally for the sake of mass adoption,i think less volatility would increase the traffic In this technology,as more and more investments and companies would endorse the bitcoin and other crptocurrencies
