People spend time in bitcoin because they see a future from it , in their financial status which bitcoin has a big impact for their lives because they lives with it and its their source of income financially. And i also spending time in bitcoin just to earn it and have a big profit from it when the time it goes high again in its value.
Well being rational I believe that everyone would spend time in the type of activity that gives them the maximum utility and spending time in Bitcoin is something that gives super profits as compared to others.
