When big boys enter the picture, the rule has changed. Bitcoin then becoming a fprm of investments, and no longer the original vision of satoshi, iguess its really inevitable, specially during the 2016-2017 when it peaked at around$20,000. It become a speculative asset, and others tske that as a opportunity, trying to make quick bucks, or even putting thier whole life-savings hoping to become rich.
there are several types of Bitcoin investments like short investment,long time investment and I will always recommend you to do mining because it makes it one time investment and you can make a lot of money if the cost of electricity is low in your area or not using any other source of power for mining like solar power etc.
