I majored in philosophy, and as the phrase about human being a political 'animal' comes from Aristotle, I'd like to make a note here. It's not about 'politics' being everywhere there's a group of people (at least, that's not how I interpret it). Humans are social, they want to communicate and do things together with others, to take part in the lives of their communities.

I do agree that most probably don't care about what is behind Bitcoin, they're here for profit. And with this expansion of Bitcoin investors, Bitcoin is becoming less of a challenge to the traditional financial system and more a part of it.

But we, as a Bitcointalk community, are also 'political animals', and through our discussions here we can help each other make more informed decisions regarding Bitcoin.
For me, Bitcoin is first and foremost a decentralized, truly independent currency. I support it on ideological grounds, and while I can't say the price isn't important (because the price reflects the purchasing power), I'd want to stick around for as long as I can, no matter the price.
