OP, you once again highlighted some of the real reasons why this technology is so extraordinary. Global remittance has exploited people in developing countries for years and there were almost no competition for them. Now, Bitcoin came on the scene and it disrupted their monopoly and we are seeing a lot of changes as a result of this.

People should stop focussing on the profits that they want to make from their investment in Bitcoin and rather appreciate the disruption that this technology has initiated in industries where there were no alternatives and total dominance by some centralized entities.
