You’re asking the exact right question — and it’s something every long-term Bitcoiner has wrestled with. The adoption vs. speculation debate is real.
The way I see it, Bitcoin is still in its early stages — like the internet in the 90s. Adoption takes time.
That won't be enough to make them stay. But that's a good reason for those that have understood the logic and comparison about the early days of internet and then how it's still early for them to see Bitcoin before reaching a million. We need adoption, mass or not, as long as there are people using Bitcoin for payments and mostly for being a store of value, the price of it is likely to increase for the upcoming years to come. Looking on how it performed for the past decade, isn't it enough for these people to look at that reason?
