Volatility in crypto is impossible to control; thus failing a key requirement to become a currency

Volatility decreases with higher market cap.
If BTC had the same market cap as gold, it would be as stable as gold.

Ur an idiot. It can just be pegged to the dollar or less volatile currency.

The vast majority of the value of crypto does not come from it being a stable store of value.

>> No.8581958

You don't fucking understand, when adoption comes. 1 BTC won't be 8000$, it won't be any amount of $ because the $ will cease to exist.

1 BTC will equal to 1 BTC and people will have to adapt to it, maybe 0.01 ends up being the equivalent of one month's rent. Basically BTC's price won't fluctuate, because the rest of currencies will cease to exist, there won't be anything to compare it to.

2. Fiat doesn't matter in crypto volatility. Qty held by whales does.

Request Network solves this.

You can pay with crypto and behind the scenes it gets exchanged into fiat so that the merchant just receives the $ amount your crypto was worth at the time of the exchange.

>>8583193
An example:

You buy 2nd hand car with 1 BTC=$8000
You just pay with Request Network and your 1 BTC gets converted to Dollar (or any other fiat) and then the merchant receives their $8000

The merchant doesn't have to EVER hold the actual crypto while still supporting EVERY cryptocurrency out there since he gets paid in fiat anyway.

Do you understand the REQ hype now? It's going to save mainstream adoption of crypto.

No the Jews created bitcoin, made it popular by shilling it in their media. Then they decided it's too volatile so they implemented regulations and shilled that it would crash. This caused it to actually crash. Now with the regulations it's much less volatile.

The Jews want it to become the world currency.
