I am new to Bitcoin and it gives me a different perspective than those that are immersed in it. 

I've spent the last 3 days researching it and reading both sides - pro and con - and my take is that "Bitcoin" itself has been hijacked by a group of whales that seek to control it's price and convince younger generations that it is a way to "stick it to the man" and preserve wealth.  There really is nothing to Bitcoin except a movement - and the real benefit is the technology below it that runs it (IMHO).  Think of a train carrying freight - Bitcoin is the freight and the train and tracks are the important part because that is the part that really has value. 

Just my 2 cents and again I'm new - but that is what I see.
