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.
Aren't there communities of gold owners and bitcoin owners in parallel (probably with intersections) today? Exist. Have bitcoin (and other crypto-currencies between themselves and against bitcoin) pros and cons of the gold mine.
