Re: Dear Bitcointalk Community, please change your perspective about Bitcoin!
I'm writing this post because I see it everywhere on this forum. People who just talk about Bitcoin pump(s), $ price, price and so on... even most legendary members do it!
I think most Bitcoin users miss what Bitcoin really is and what Satoshi wanted it to be.
If you read the white paper, there's no mention about Bitcoin as a digital asset. Satoshi just wanted to create a payment system, a strong one and much better than the traditional ones.
But right now, Bitcoin is mainly considered as a digital asset, digital gold, just an investment tool to make (quick) profit. That's wrong, in my opinion.
I think Bitcoin users are raping Satoshi's original view, thinking only about BTC's value on exchanges.
What most don't understand is that Satoshi gave us a huge power. The power to destroy and make disappear forever the whole old banking system, other online payment systems like paypal and maybe governments too. Forever.
He gave us the power to decentralize everything using the blockchain technology. In short, Satoshi gave us the power the change the world for the better.
So why are you focusing only on Bitcoin's price on exchanges?
Imagine this.
A world where you can send money anywhere and to anyone in the world, instantly and with low fees.
A world where you can buy anything using Bitcoin, from coffees to yatchs.
A world where you can get all the privacy you want.
A world without banks.
A world without old currencies, that only create inflation.
A world where you pay only the taxes you wanna pay and not what you are forced to pay.
I think Satoshi's original view was very revolutionary.
A decentralized payment system and a deflationary currency. A real digital cash.
But now, Bitcoin has becomed just a digital asset. Maybe a toy for rich people to get even richer.
What's so revolutionary about it? The world is already full of assets and investment tool...
In short, Bitcoin lost most of its revolutionary appeal.
I strongly suggest you to change your consideration about Bitcoin. Now it's time to choose, because what we - as a community - decide now will influence all the future history of Bitcoin.
So, what do you prefer? A brick of gold or a better world?

we are still at the stage we want the world to LIKE US as the new kid in town...the price of BTC gives us hope that maybe what you state above can happen
but we are a little bit skittish yet...I assume if bitcoin hits 10k and has more use ..things will go as you state...as of now we are in the WTH stage of awe
and BTC price going up ...is a reflection of adoption and holding.....thus security at least for those of us holding bitcoin
