At this point I believe that its "bad reputation" as an investment tool would be a good thing.
How so?
I'm expecting Bitcoin to be pretty alive 5 years from now, and will probably reach new highs until then.
I can't say I'm as optimistic as you are, but I sure hope you turn out to be right. I still have a little money left to buy BTC in the future, but I'm no longer considering any major investment in BTC.
I guess only time will tell.
