the view has completely shifted from a p2p currency and payment method to investment, and investment doesn't need fast cheap tx.
Yeah, I highly agree with you and I also believe that now people consider Bitcoin more as an investment than as a p2p currency. I know that there are a group of people who still use Bitcoin as p2p currency but most of people use it as an asset instead of a p2p currency. I'm pretty sure that there will come a time when almost everyone would consider Bitcoin as an asset instead of a currency. Let's see what the future holds for us!
