There are times when we need to visit the whitepaper to realise what it was all
invented for and to have patience.
If you are looking at the core of this platform then it must be used as a peer to peer currency and not as a store of value and people must not care about the store of value and if that happens there is no fake news and other manipulation, but things have changed a lot and now it is mainly a store of value because there are many obstacles to scale, we have a solution in papers and until it is implemented we cannot call it as a scaling solution and that is a fact we have to accept, price will grow if it is used as a currency and not just as a store of value.
Depending on what we prefer, it can be a store value since its an investment and can be a peer to peer currency,this what makes crypto currency interesting since it have many beneficial use.
