Most people here and reddit will defend bitcoin no matter what instead of looking at the problems. Every time someone comments something about the speed or transaction fees they will just yell ''FUD'' or ''Another attack on bitcoin'' but it's not always that. I have been a strong supporter of bitcoin myself but we have to face it, it's not in a good position right now, sure the price is great but what else? Insane fees that are not getting solved any time soon? I know the demand is high but the ones that are buying are just buying to sell eventually not to support bitcoin, not to use it. The demand will eventually fade away and what do we have left? An outdated bitcoin that won't be able to compete with better coins.
The way I see it, these people who ought to be defending bitcoin must be the ones who benefit from bitcoin. I'm quite sure that they have experienced how great bitcoin is and earned money using investments on bitcoin, that's why it's natural for them to defend bitcoin no matter what.
For usurer it is doubtless that some people support the currency they get profit from and we all knows how profitable currency and investment bitcoin is and it was. Bitcoin has been proven best investment for a lot of years still people believe in bitcoin as they know bitcoin can make them rich, and they know bitcoin is only way to get fast income for your present and it is the only way to secure your future. So people are extremely attached to bitcoin for many reasons.
