Bitcoins inception has been largely lost by the majority of its users. It's treated more like an investment opportunity rather than something that gave freedom to the users to stop relying on third parties.
Which is fine, I guess. Such is the nature of an open source, trustless, peer to peer cryptocurrency, that if someone wants to use it only for trading and making more fiat, then they are absolutely free to do so. I'd never dream of telling someone not to do that (although I would point out that only by people actually using bitcoin as a currency does it actually have any value at all).
It does annoy me greatly though when such users advocate for more regulations, more government intervention, more centralization, or even the ability to censor or reverse transactions. You have no right to try to change the very nature of bitcoin simply for your own profits. It is an incredibly selfish position to hold.
