Nobody wants to be the ones to actually do the work though, they just want to get rich via speculation.
Which is silly, because building a bitcoin business is a wiser investment than just buying a bunch of bitcoins and saving them.
If bitcoin succeeds, you are going to be rich in both cases. But if bitcoin fails, in the first case you will at least come out with some useful skills and experience, while in the second case you will come out with nothing.
