 Bitcoin volatility is a feature.

 He likes the orange. 
 As much as I like him, can't follow here. He says Niagara Falls create 5 Gigawatts of power, that's not volatile? Is the water stopping occasionally? 
Not a waterfall engineer (pun intended, we're all agile aren't we?) but now I really would like to know if waterfalls are volatile in their energy production.
If any actual waterfall engineers around, let me know please  
 While waterfalls like Niagara Falls produce a steady and powerful flow of energy, they're not volatile in their energy output due to the constant flow of water. However, Bitcoin's behavior can be more like a waterfall's effect—seemingly stable, but capable of sudden, powerful shifts.

Less rain means less water.
Less water means less volume.
Less volume means less energy.

Similarly:

Less demand, fewer trades.
Fewer trades, lower liquidity.
Lower liquidity, higher volatility.

But as more adoption occurs, Bitcoin’s volatility decreases. Just like how rain fills a lake, eventually becoming a steady fall as nature balances the forces, Bitcoin can become as steady as Niagara Falls. The more widespread and accepted it becomes, the more stable it will be—eventually transforming from unpredictable and powerful to a steady, reliable force. 
 I made a meme about this clip yesterday 😂
