I understand the risk I'm taking in doing so, but what I want to know is; am I looking at Bitcoin the wrong way? Should I see it as more than a way to make some money?
I don't know what objective criteria I have your telling you that a specific attitude is wrong. However, for whatever it's worth, I personally view Bitcoin as a worthy-cause in and of itself because it provides people with a new, arguably better, means of exchange and store of value.
