And Bitcoin will be at that stable stage far in the future when it's more mature but as long as demand spikes up and down, we will have volatile BTC.
BTC does have non-trading use, as this forum should show (though I bet 95% of people just talking about BTC actually don't use it here but that's just my pessimistic outlook).
Btc won't really be "that" much volatile in the future if you ask me. I mean going from 5k to 10k was hard, but certainly not as hard as 500k to 1 million, or going from 10k to 5k seemed easy, but 1 million to 500k wouldn't be that easy. So in the future it may become a bit more stable if you ask me.
However, it's still a smart decision to not want an ATH so soon, it's smart to buy as much as possible and buy as much as possible when it's low, so we could make a profit when the time comes, it would really make more sense. This way you would be accumulating, even in this free faucet you could get so much, not because it gives out a lot right away, but when you grind a lot it makes a lot when the price goes up.
That's what I said though, it will be at a rather stable stage, but in comparison to today anyway. In fact if you look over the last cycle, we've seen Bitcoin lose a lot of the early volatility. Again this is comparing BTC to BTC, not other currencies.
20k to 68k was already very hard, not sure I will talk about 500k to 1 million!
Don't know about smart decisions, anyone who thinks they can outsmart the market is deluded.
