If you are not here for the tech, you are doing it wrong. Even the price itself is tied to the tech behind it, if there was no blockchain that would have made bitcoin something lower than any game money out there, at least game money you could spend on the game itself and buy cards or whatever, with bitcoin you would have nothing.

The only reason people are so keen on buying bitcoin is the fact that it has a great blockchain technology behind it and that made it famous. Isn't there better tech out there nowadays? Of course there is but that doesn't change the fact that people first saw blockchain and how awesome it is from bitcoin and that is why they are constantly attracted to it. You do not have to love the tech behind it but you have to realize it plays a big role in it.
