When you talk about Bitcoin first thing which most of us thinks either it's a get rich quick scheme or an investment scheme. Did Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin as an investment scheme? No, it was supposed to be a peer to peer payment transaction across borders without involvement expensive money exchangers or regulators but it has been turned into an investment scheme, where are we heading ? Do you think Bitcoin is losing its original purpose of its invention?
May be in some way it is so. But I think that it is not bad that Bitcoin has broaden its' purpose. It is good that people consider Bitcoin as a valuable perspective asset, that is used not only different transactions but like the asset that may give you profit some day. And ideas transform very often. This transformation is for the best I think.
