Concept
Could Trading
"Bitcoin supporters argued that volatility could attract traders, whose buying and selling would increase market liquidity and eventually make prices more stable. The growth of sophisticated exchanges, trading tools, and regulated financial services could create more buyers and sellers, much as the development of foreign-exchange trading desks helped stabilize markets after the collapse of Bretton Woods. Critics countered that bitcoin could remain trapped in a cycle in which volatility discourages everyday use, while supporters viewed speculation and investment as a transitional stage toward broader adoption."
