Not sure what you and people are looking for. It's a decentralised currency that already solved many issues for people around the world. Now if people stopped speculating into stupid things so it were a bit more stable... Then again, no currency is stable right now. My USD also devalue faster than I can spend them.
Maybe that's the point. By accelerating the use of it as a currency, it may become more widely used by larger commercial interests that the government can lean on.
It's not possible to have a 100% stable currency. At their core currencies are human opinions of how much to exchange for a product or service. But human opinion changes on a whim.
I think a currency could be stabilized by automatically adding coins to the total when people feel they want to hoard them, such as economic panics and reducing them when they feel they want to use it without care such as when the economy is booming.
It has to be automatic but finding a way to do that is the big question. But what and how? Use an index, maybe but it has to be impartial and give a true view of how people feel about the economy at the time.
For the US dollar the Federal Reserve is responsible for increasing and decreasing the money supply but they have truckloads of people telling them how the economy is doing.
A cryptocurrency has potential since in theory you can figure out exactly how people are using them.
Additionally, the supply has to increase as more people use it to create economic goods and services. If you don't, there won't be enough currency to go around and it will limit the potential products/services that people can create and consume.
