(...) There are those with huge holdings who have an interest in stability for the sake of its adoption as a currency, and its long-term value. Long periods? Long-term? When has ever Bitcoin experienced this? Looking at the graphs, I don't think I can find a single month where Bitcoin remains even close to stable.

Sure you can. And, even more so when you define stability relative to the degree of fluctuation during volatile periods.
