Bitcoin's value and growth potential could be overall factors of the size of its userbase.
Crypto hasn't yet reached a saturation point where it can be considered fully mainstream. That's where the "buy a coffee with bitcoin" and past push for more mainstream crypto comes from. The idea that there could still be a massive price hike in the value of bitcoin if it becomes more widely adopted. The engineering that went with that campaign in terms of bigger blocks may have been flawed in ways but the underlying financial analysis may have been sound.
Crypto's value could be like the difference between a PC game with a userbase of 500 players and a PC game with a userbase of 50 million players. Being more mainstream could translate to greater revenue, growth and value. If that's true in crypto's case the price could still have plenty of growth potential.
Couldn't have said it any better. The price as well as the uses would definitely go up as the user base widens. OP have every right to be cautious, after all, he'll be entering this at the $4000 per coin rate. Still, provided nothing catastrophic happen, I think it would still grow for a while and he'd still be able to gain some profit.
