Thus: Is Bitcoin now "too big to die"? Could this accelerate the volatility reduction we're already witnessing, and finally pave the road to make it a more stable and "solid" asset, and a true gold competitor?
Bitcoin cannot be stable, it's a volatile digital currency and this one has been settled, bitcoin also cannot cease to be, because it has been created to stay, every other things happening will either help increase it market value and acceptability or leave it as it has been, but has no negative implications on its future growth, one of the reasons it will always remained a gold competitor is the way of it's increasing adoption with value over time, all these make it more profitable.
