btw, it's been years, and bitcoin still isn't really useful for transactions. I still can't get normal people to use it, even for quick exchanges. There might be people doing good stuff with blockchain technology, but that doesn't really require "bitcoin" to work. The few stores that were accepting bitcoin have and are still immediately cashing out because of risk.
It would also be a terribly bad idea for someone to dump more than they could afford to throw away into this now. I've lost basically everything before, it sucks, and it takes a long time to recover. I wasn't going to let that happen again with BTC.
