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$20,000. It become a speculative asset, and others tske that as a opportunity, trying to make quick bucks, or even putting thier whole life-savings hoping to become rich.
Well, I will support you on your statement on which is Bitcoin was a from of investment. That's true, and because of that the investors all around the world became interested about it. It catches their attention to check what bitcoin is all about. If bitcoin reached 20k$ last 2017, meaning there is still had a possibility that it will happen again,we just don't know when will it happen, isn't right?
