Because of the decentralized nature of the majority of cryptocurrency out there, the volatility will always be in the hands of the user. Early adopters and whales are able to control most markets by posting buy and sell walls and flood or strip the market with coins/fiat...

The only way to stabilize the value of any kind of crypto is to offer centralized solutions, which can easily be perceived as defeating the purpose of cryptocurrency, but honestly, that's the direction that I see digital currency turning to. As more and more larger companies adapt to digital currency, they'll undoubtedly focus on creating a currency that will only slightly fluctuate in value, but as it currently stands now, as long as their are open exchanges for converting a certain crypto to fiat and other crypto currencies, the volatility will always trail closely behind.

Doubtful. We saw what happened last week, as the prices stayed above $15,000. I don't know about you, but that's a lot more expensive than it was just a few short months ago at under $10,000, and MUCH more expensive than last year's (2016) closing prices of under $1,000 per. The value of Bitcoin won't stabilize the volatility as long as there is a demand for it.

I think that approximately 3-4 years will be needed in order to regulate the status of the crypto-currency in the world economy and to introduce them into the lives of ordinary consumers. The more goods and services you can buy for crypto-coins, the more coins will have real supports. And the more well-known, the goods and services will be in demand, the stronger will be the support. The same applies to the system of use. If there are large and reliable systems for exchange, input-output, then the crypto-currencies have a chance to quickly penetrate into the life of an ordinary person and secure stability.

Still boils down to supply and demand, correct me if I'm wrong. So I really doubt that we can see crypto being less stable. Its their nature, In bitcoin's case, when there's a huge demand the price will swing wildly. Some says it really bad for the market to be volatile, and this is the one reason why government are against crypto, and volatility makes it hard for bitcoin to be universally accepted as mode of payment.

So its really up to us on how we see this price instability. Are you going to take advantage of it to make more money, or would you rather have a stable price but less demand?

volatility will never be tamed. there are a few factors that make it extra volatile - 24/7 trading worldwide, twitchy and inexperienced traders, a lot of general legal uncertainty.

the latter should be ironed out. i don't think the first two ever will. i expected it to much less volatile at this price level but it seems kinda the same as it always was.

For me it's the other way around, during 2016 the price wasn't that volatile compared to last year where the price really went on a huge up and down movement. How much do you think the price of bitcoin should be at to become stable?

Volatility on crypto won't end because the prices of most crypto are converted to the price of bitcoin and there are people who would suddenly pump/dump a random altcoin like bch.

if its not volatile it means there are someone or something who control it. and it is not a nature of cryptos. in market if not up and down it will not have any value in future.

If the question is about the amount of crypto currency, then it will continue to grow all the time. I think that it is impossible to stop this process. The process of stabilization of the crypto currency will be very long, because now the crypto currency is very dependent on the number of consumers, therefore, I think that we will not see stability in this sector for a long time.

I believe eventually in the next few years more coins will "mature" and their individual volatility will slow down.  Overall you'll not have a "mature" market like the Stock Market in cryptocurrency for a long time.  

Crypto currencies are decentralized, no one can control them, so the prices are volatiles as well. Volatility is a good feature of crypto currencies because it motivate so many people to trade this coins and hold them. If the price become stable in any level, it will discourage so many people to investing in crypto.
