Both you and @Derekfunds are correct. Just like the Pizza guy Laszlo Hanyecz, Gavin Andresen wanted Bitcoin to become popular and succeed. But they did that because it was cheap. Please you fit show me the person wey fit give 5BTC to people for free. I go just lap the person unit ASAP tell am my life story. Baba you know say 5BTC na $596,659.73, I doubt if anybody for this forum go do am now.
What is also crazy is that most of us receiving signature payment in Bitcoin, for accumulated 3 months of summing up payments, in the future calculatively what we see as normal right now will be worth a large fortune that we recall about how we traded them for fiat instead of keeping them all. This regret in Bitcoin will not come to an end, there is always another ATH after another, it doesn't stop, lessons from a thread by The Cryptovator that says
Don't Cap Bitcoin: The Game Never Ends.
