You have to know that many people join cryptocurrencies for money, and so do me. All of us just want to live a better life. We also hope that cryptocurrencies will develop better, but in the conflict between the two, I believe most people will choose their own interests.

You cannot blame people if they are in here for money because that is precisely a necessity in life, majorly considering the global financial crisis almost all countries are experiencing as of writing. You see, even if governments and innovators will deter from Bitcoin later on and just utilize the blockchain technology it pioneered, it is still a win-win situation. Why? Because first, they have seen the need for change and development in the form of converting from traditional fiat currency to digital currency. Second, they can make a better one that substantially offers the same features but at the same time effectively regulated by governments. In both instances, we all surely win because we have successfully changed how the old system works. I hope, too, we agree with the fact that the Bitcoin we have now is not sustainable because of its extreme fragility.

Just took a little jump back to 2010 to look at what people were posting about. It kind of feels a bit sad now to jump back to the future and see every post about bitcoin as an investment. It would be nice to be in a time where people spoke and cared more about how to best progress the agenda rather than how to make a quick buck ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Maybe after the inevitable big crash comes and the price stabilizes, who knows It is correct that everyone related with bitcoins is concerned about money or profit only. For instance, the investors are not using it as a payment medium, they just want to accumulate all their coins. In such a situation, bitcoin will not survive for long term. Some of the exchanges have also become corrupt and are putting huge impractical fees on transactions. Those competition regarding getting the coins listed on popular exchanges are also being manipulated with bots and fake votes.

I agree with you and at the same time I feel guilty about how prefered to it as well today. Due to the sudden increase of its value on the last quarter of 2017, Bitcoin has changed its image since it unexpectedly provided a great income to this who have already been in Bitcoin for a long time.

Part of you might be sad because you hadn't joined in its prime. Don't worry there so many of us. Why not look at the bright side mate. This community already helped a lot of people and it is still. Let us be thankful with that.

don't look back. Imagine if you buy 1k USD bitcoin in 2010, i bet you would sell it when the price double your asset. And you regret you not holding it. We will never enough if we don't thank to god what we achieved

Bitcoin is the best investment of all time. I don't know if you just wanted to become a some sort of a "funny" guy in this forum. I don't really know what you're talking about either. People from the back, they were investing on bitcoin. So it is still an investment. The hell is your idea? The investment performance has been amazing, no doubt - I think you've missed my point. There's nothing inherently wrong with making money, or talking about it ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Everyone likes to make money! It's just an observation about the difference in content is all.

Once you get a taste of 800% profits in a year, you want it to continue. Nobody turns their back on huge profits, but we also have not sold out to it. Some of us still believe in the disruptive power that it has and how this is changing the financial world. I think the tide turned, when we saw the competition using the technology to improve their business and to increase their profits. The disruptive technology are not disrupting, rather improving the competition.

Especially when most people knew Bitcoin because media put it as "best investment in a year—10,000% gain!". I don't blame the media completely though, just thinking that this is simply inevitable. TBH people who complain and got worried about the price are kinda annoying though I mean hey this is not an investment, Bitcoin is an experimental project.

That's something new. I don't usually browse popular media so I didn't have a chance to see such headline. So far, I have seen articles that warned people against investing in Bitcoin since it's a bubble. No further explanation, just some opinion of "economist" who usually provides information for certain website. While it is true that most of bitcointalk became bloated with huge amount of people who are spamming only because they want to earn money, there are still sections where you can find useful information and discuss with other, competent members.

expected. Back in 2010, most people here do not even think that BTC will make them rich in the future. They are only here to check for a decentralized increase in coins that will give them financial freedom in one way or another. It's like a hobby for them and something to do as they wish in their own leisure time. to get the best benefits from BTC and other coins. They do not care about the technology anymore. They're just here to send and get paid for it. They buy BTC to exchange it with other coins in the hope that it will triple or triple in the coming days.

The thing is, 2010 is really different from now, bitcoin was just a bit starting at that time so people were having a unite by how they will make bitcoin valuable or how they are going to encourage more people to invest, so sad to see right now but there is nothing we cannot do about it since we cannot control people.

People abuse a lot of freedom of speech in this forum and post tons of spam. First solution is red tag spammer. Secondly merit system seems could give a first impact on post quality, doesn't bad at all... E.g. some time ago Bitcoin Discussion was full of interesting discussion about fresh news and not just a wast of time like "how I can get 10 btc in 1 month"

No further explanation, just some opinion of "economist" who usually provides information for certain website. I don't read popular media that often either but when a huge media like Forbes include such graph like this in their magazine, it was being repostes all over my social media feed. https://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/investment-2013-chart.jpgWhile it is true that most of bitcointalk became bloated with huge amount of people who are spamming only because they want to earn money, there are still sections where you can find useful information and discuss with other, competent members.
Mostly in technical though, like Mining and Bitcoin development.
