The volatility (persistent changes in the price of Bitcoin) has drawn a lot of attention, and will continue to. The consequences surely has it's merits and demerits; to various users. To the trader, and investor respectively. Do the merits outweigh the demerits? Would a less volatile nature draw more usage?
No, I don't think a less volatile nature for Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency would draw more usage or attention. The reason why Bitcoin is worth more than $114k today, and had an all-time high value of $123k is because it's volatile, if it was less volatile, it would have a lower value, and if it had a lower value, it would have a lower adoption, and then the supply and demand mechanism wouldn't work the way it does at the moment. We know the reason why Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are volatile, it's their supply.

Those who like making money from Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies would or should never say that their volatility has demerits because it's the volatility that's making them money, and they wouldn't be so interested into them if they weren't volatile, and when there is volatility, there will be both positive and negative volatility, and we will have to accept both.
