I love the concept and believe it to be a fundamental libertarian concept as well which makes it worth believing in even if it doesn't catch on by the ignorant masses, (but I think it might), but of course making money and the fact that Bitcoin is so true to the Ayn Rand objectivest "self interest" reality, that I am so sold on the concept. 

Say and think what you will about Ayn Rand, (and I do have problems with much of her ideas), but if you are not true to yourself, if you are not being honest with your self interest in the false altruism of socialism, then nothing that results will be anything other than yet another road to hell paved with good intentions.

I absolutely like the concept, but getting rich is the main motivator. I would have been equally invested even if it was just to get rich, the concept is a bonus as it makes this fun.
The thrive and fun makes it. If getting rich is the main motivator, than I suggest you HODL and come back in 10 years too brag.

EDIT: and nice name

But there is so much more to be made by looking around. If being rich was the only motivator then I may have done what you suggested, but there is much daily drama in this world Cheesy

By the statement I meant that if it was not this fun, I still would have invested, but probably not spent as much time.

Because the concept is good that we can get money, both are interesting. The concept is the origin of everything. Money is a motivation and target.

I'm here to get rich.

Hold my coins for 10-15 years & then dump 75% of them when the price gets high enough.

I'm simply interested in Bitcoin because I can use my money without the authorization of banks or my government. I like bitcoin because you can manage your money in which way you want. And, other this, for possibility that I'll be rich in future  Cheesy

Yeh, except for the 50% of it's value it has lost over the past year. At least this got rid off all the kiddies who thought btc was a easy get rich quick scheme. I'll laugh when the price rises in the future after they've all sold there's as soon as they could recoup half their money  Grin.

Dont worry about price 2 much.
Some graphic and rumors say that price is going up in second quarter of next year, sooner then expected.

Yes who panicked in price going down he lost lot, but who waited might come with few dollars or euros more.

We all want to get rich on one way or another.

With Crypto you will make money yes, but you can loose it also if you are gambling or make bad call in market.

For me this is good, make some more extra cash. Wait little invest and then when summer comes I collect all and enjoy.

For me bitcoin has a dual purpose. I believe in the technology and the concept and when I first heard about it it immediately reflected my political beliefs, but I also see the massive potential for profit in it. I don't wish to become rich off of bitcoin but I would like to live comfortably off it and see the possibility for that to happen in the future. I would much rather make daily purchases with bitcoin as opposed to fiat and I hope one day for mass adoption for both of the reasons stated.

Like a lot of others, the concept is fascinating.  That is the most important.  The idea of making some money is a pretty nice bonus too.

Both of them.
I really liked the concept since the first time I knew Bitcoin, espacially for privacy, globality, blockchain technology, etc.
But I admitted I'd like to get rich as a quite early adopter... anyway surely I don't want to return to fiat world, but if Bitcoin price rises I'd want to spend and invest my value-increased Bitcoin in the crypto world  Wink
