Yes Bitcoin is less stable than others. So people like Bitcoin more. Due to the very unstable, people get good profit in Bitcoin. So being volatile is a good thing for Bitcoin.
Human brains work in strange fashion. A few days ago when bitcoin prices were stable at 6k people were complaining that it was "too stable" and that market was not worth putting money in. Now when there has been a down trend and a correction upto 4k people are complaining it to be "too unstable". Humans are never happy with anything - you give them A they ask for B and vice-versa 
If we do check price charts compared with last year there has been a drop but not leaps and drops so I would say it has been a simple bearish trend and not volatile.
