I guess that 99% of all bitcoin users (this is not statistics) are drawn into this industry by greed, namely, to invest $1 and take back $2 (x3, x4 and so on). The rest, 1% (approximately) are interested in the technology itself. Over time, more people (out of 99%) become interested in the technical part. But still, initially, people are attracted by the explosive increase in the price of bitcoin. This is my opinion.

The reason for me to stay was the opportunities that bitcoin provides (one of which is financial freedom) and the fact that I don't know any more attractive financial instruments (that meet my needs).
