Op, I don't think there's any other reason why people invest if not for profit making and I don't think if there are people who invest for fun or to make loss. Bitcoin being stable or constant at a particular position or point won't be nice because it will really affect investors who deal on Bitcoin and some people can not be able to invest because of stability and there are people who wait for it to depreciate before they invest. However, I don't think bitcoin can be constant for years.
if I'm not wrong, Bitcoin wasn't primary created as a profit maximization scheme but was rather created to provide full ownership and control over your wealth in a decentralized manner where you have full control of your Bitcoin and wouldn't have to be too bothered about what the over regulatory government policies would have on it. It got to gain relevance with time and became an asset that's of this value but that doesn't in any way suggest that Bitcoin is bitcoin because of the potential it has to increasing in it value with time.
Like I pointed out earlier, even if Bitcoin remains at a fixed range of worth over a longe range of time, it still has other potentials that makes it a very valuable asset and doesn't in any way mean that we don't need it or that it's now of less value because of such kind of scenario.
Apart from Bitcoin being a volatile asset that brings about its ability to cause our invested capital to appreciate, Bitcoin has other good features which includes;
1.
decentralized: which reduce government interference and wouldn't allow you experience cases of your account being frozen for reason best known to them
2.
security: 3.
Accessibility: which means it's usable by everyone regardless of the class or the person or the region the person belongs
4.
Inflation edge: which means if you save in Bitcoin, even if it doesn't increase too much with time, you won't experience any form of devaluation of your asset which makes it a better option to consider even in this kind of scenario over the fiat.
5.
ownership: which is one of the most important part that allows you to have full access to your invested or in this context saved Bitcoin as long as you have access to your keys.
The reason I pointed these all out is because I still feel that even if Bitcoin gets to a form of stable worth in the future and don't really increase that much in it worth, it's still a better option to consider in terms of storage of financial value over a long period of time.[/list]
