The funny thing is that new people are buying bitcoins now because they hope to make more money from it, convert to fiat and spend in fiat. So really people don't seem to see btc as money but as an investment the same way people buy stocks, gold and silver.
i think every one is hopping that perhaps they were able to purchase bitcoin in 2012 so now the were be the millionaire but still i will like to say that after 10 years people will be talking about the present time that why they missed 2016 and 2017 to invest their assets in bitcoin, therefore i think we a strong reason to invest in bitcoin right now.
