May be stability is what Bitcoin need? Especially when many other currencies are jumping like a mad cows. Bitcoin attracts many people who don't really need or even understand bitcoin, they just want to play a casino game. They are not healthy for bitcoin.
Bitcoin seems instable by design, the major flaw being an anticipation of increase in value due to "limited supply" which encourages people to speculate and horde rather than participate in real economic activity.
Bitcoin doesn't really attract many people, there is just this handful or so million users. Bitcoin is still really far from anything that could be called mass adoption or even mainstream.
