I think this is the key for recent investors. So many people seem to have 'jumped on the bandwagon' in the hope of making a quick profit (not that you can blame them I guess?). I don't believe this was ever the intention of the original creators/investors. Personally I think it was about the freedom of creating and/or being involved in a decentralized currency. It doesn't matter where you are from in the world, there is an increasing tiredness with the control of power, whether it is monetary or information. The recent drop only serves as a reminder of the massive impact it is having throughout the world. A week doesn't go by without Bitcoin hitting the headlines now. It's all about the long game.
