Well everyone wants to make money 95% of the users are here to make extra money and learn more about coins as well. Nobody would do something for bitcoin if you didn't get money.
So calm down. Some users are here also for hobby and they get extra money.
No! The point was never to "make money". The point was to revolutionise the way in which we represent a medium of exchange and providing a new, secure way in which it can be done without a third intermediary.
If your only here to make money then I politely ask for you to fuck off. Because in the long-run, if you stop making money, we all know that 100% of that 90% would leave without a second thought. They don't give two cents about what bitcoin represents or how it is so game-changing. Purely here because of greed.
I consider miners as third intermediary, as your transaction will get stuck without them.
without investors, bitcoin price will not reach current price, over $7400. Event though many people or mostly will cash out their investment in order to extract profits.
waiting for the price drop back and then buy back in the dip, again.
Unfortunately, this happen due to most government doesn't legalize bitcoin as legal payment such in Japan. It's not easy to spend bitcoin directly whenever you are shoping in a grocery or merchant. Until the time has come when I can spend bitcoin easily, directly, everywhere, bitcoin still become an asset for me, a store of value.
