Bitcoin is way less volatile than it used to be.

You are living in a little fantasy with your parroting of nonsense mainstream talking points.

It seems to me that one of the most predictable dynamics of bitcoin is that it happens to be ongoingly volatile

It's not that hard to believe Bitcoin is less volatile now than it was 10 years ago. Just yesterday, I posted this:

In 2013 that 8 BTC was worth $100 to $9500.

Bitcoin doesn't have 10000% annual increases in dollar-value anymore. Measured in dollars, it easily goes up and down by thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, but it's a much smaller percentage than it used to be.

Sure, you are technically correct that bitcoin is goth less volatile and likely to continue to be less volatile than it was and even to become even less volatile in the future as BTC's market cap continues to rise, it becomes more difficult to move it. I also consider that bitcoin is likely to remain quite volatile (even though less volatile relatively speaking to previous times) at least until bitcoin is 10x the size of gold's market cap.

Yes, this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine even if technically you are correct about the lessening of BTC volatility with the passage of time, yet I still hardly give any shits about such misleading bullshit technicalities, because so often normies and even misleading folks are proclaiming bitcoin to be stable, less volatile and losing its volatility and blah blah blah. .bullshit to lull folks into wrong thoughts about bitcoin and frequently unnecessarily shake normies out of their BTC, even though "technically" bitcoin prices are less volatile than they used to be and also technically bitcoin is a crypto currency too, but we don't go around talking about bitcoin as a cryptocurrency, because putting such label on bitcoin is misleading to the extent that many coins work on affililiating themselves with bitcoin and to act as if bitcoin is the same or similar to them, which technically bitcoin is similar, but still misleading to be agreeing to such a label in order to pump or mislead in regards to some other nonsense.

Similarly with volatility in bitcoin, including that likely one of the most inevitable things that we can predict about bitcoin is that it is volatile, and bitcoin is going to continue to be volatile and we better be warning newbies about such issues, including unpredictable aspects of bitcoin price dynamics that could result in 70% 80% or more price drops, and even doubling or tripling of the BTC price in a short period of time. Might such volatility become less extreme.. sure.. but we better still be prepared for a lot of volatility and even purposeful attempts that whale diptwats engage in to shake folks out of their coins, whether it is actual pumping and dumping and/or misinformation campaigns and/or threatening self-custody removal, KYC issues and other ways of targeting bitcoiners, targeting bitcoin sympathizers, bitcoin promoters and bitcoin programmers.... You can act like it does not exist, you can get lulled into it, you can fail refuse to stack sufficiently or to sell too many coins too early, and surely a lot of folks are lulled into various kinds of misinformation and other actual practices including to scare them out of their coins, scare them from self-custody, scare them from interacting peer to peer and other matters that relate to both underlying battle and ongoing volatility whether you want to down play such volatility "technically" or not or get lulled into mainstream bullshit talking points and even the talking points of delusional newbies merely because there is some technical correctness in such talking points.
