You'll know things are stable when a million dollar purchase of BTC shifts the market cap by ~$1 million. In all fairness, this is nothing special about BTC. For every financial asset ever, an X$ amount of transactions shifts the market capitalization by more than X$. That's what makes those "X billion $ value destroyed by stock market movement" stories so ridiculous. It would be interesting though to see a comparison of BTC to a range of different stocks and other assets.
