Here's my take on why $BTC will ultimately become a global reserve asset:
It boils down to market maturation. As Bitcoin matures as an asset class, the extreme volatility we see today will fade. Eventually, we'll reach a stage where bear markets become less severe—think gentle 30% pullbacks spread over years instead of the gut-wrenching crashes we've experienced. Sound familiar? Look at gold and $XAU. That's the trajectory.
The key difference is stability. Once Bitcoin stops swinging wildly and starts behaving more like a mature store of value, institutional adoption will accelerate. Governments and central banks will begin reconsidering reserve strategies. We're not there yet, but the groundwork is being laid.
This isn't hype. It's about recognizing what happens when an asset graduates from speculative instrument to established medium. Time and scale are everything.

Stability will only truly stop when the fluctuation comes, and we are still far from that.

We can only talk about reserve assets when stability arrives; for now, we are still in the roller coaster phase.

You're right, stability is key... But when BTC really stabilizes, will there still be a chance to make money?
