I can only hope that most of the members of the Bitcoin community or of the larger cryptocurrency community joined the bandwagon because of these ideas. My hunch however is that more than half of the members of these large communities around the world are joining these communities for the sake of money or of profit. They seem not to care about these principles really. All they are thinking is that there is money here. All they need to do is buy and wait and the profit will be coming.
This in itself is already a big obstacle for the growth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin controls people, I agree that many people tried bitcoin just gain a lot of money. They joined communities make them as their source of profit so that they will become richer. That's not the main purpose of the bitcoin. They don't consider the goals of cryptocurrency such as easy transaction and payments. They just focus on making money. They don't care about the goals, they just about their success.
I think the biggest role that bitcoin is playing at the moment is also the one needed the most. Who on earth does not and to make money and that too easy money. I mean you can become millionaire by simply investing into some asset and holding for a short period of time and to top it off, you enjoy easy transactions, full control and anonymity. Bitcoin is that asset and we all love its profit producing nature the most.
