It's almost like we don't value it for itself, but what it's worth in "real" money.
It is not like we don't value it for what its worth, but we know how to take advantage of it. Since Bitcoin is not yet the mainstream currency, we still rely heavily on paper money that is why we want to gain as much as possible in bitcoin to use it for our personal needs. I mean, there are a lot of us like me, who also uses bitcoin in other online transactions but let's be honest here, it is still convenient to use paper money in small transactions that we are doing every day. We keep converting bitcoin back to our local currency when its price is starting to decline and then convert back again to bitcoin when its price will start to increase, this way we are maximizing the potential earning we can on bitcoin.
