Bitcoin was intended to be a p2p cashless digital money transfer system and it still is. But the moment volatility came along with the asset many shifted more attention to making profit by constantly trading it for other commodities as prices kept fluctuating. But how does it sound that an asset that has the potential of giving back a high ROI is spent like a common token. Bitcoin deserves some respect so i keep and make more funds for myself.
I think this is just human nature. Why would anyone think of the aim of bitcoin if they are at a loss? Though bitcoin is a long term asset and should be treated as one.
