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.
Agree. But now that the priced has plateaued back to $6,000, it's safe to bet that a lot more people would try their luck on bitcoins since a lot more people are willing to spend more amounts of money for bitcoins due to the cheaper price. Cheaper price means more bitcoins to buy.
