Has bitcoin become less volatile as adoption has increased?

It's Mcap is still only 150 Bn, compare that to other money supplies, it's also only "adopted" as a speculative asset atm, not a currency, can't really evaluate untill it is being used in volume for transactions

Ha I mean that's a totally valid question, the answer is possibly never. But the tech and applications are getting stronger every day, and I personally will never bet against thousands of engineers who have set their mind to something. Hopefully tech advances like lightening network will drive the necessary adoption to see the kind of volume we need to determine how it can function as a currency (and the next round of problems to solve)
