One merit, because
I like it and another one because
I agree with it. In a nutshell, Bitcoin is highly anarchistic and we hate anarchy, but we love Bitcoin. We think that this world needs it to be “rescued” by the
moron financial system! In the end of the day, it makes us rich overtime and it's also
nice incredibly fascinating as a concept. That's pretty much all of it.
Keep in mind that you can't use the current market state as an argument. So far bitcoin market has been very tiny despite all the growth it had and prone to manipulation which is why the "crashes" happen. In a bigger market with mass adoption it won't happen like this ever.
It is inevitable to happen. When this “mass adoption” occurs, there'll be more money into it, but still, individuals will control the market. At the moment we're talking a guy owns 108,000 BTC and he plans to hold them as far as I've understood; by the way, he's the same guy who told his followers to sell their houses and buy Bitcoin.
Only if those coins were owned by governments around the world its market value would stop being so fluctuating. Gold beats it here.
