You can’t compare bitcoin to porn, gambling, drugs and alcohol. Bitcoin is the only one that doesn’t affect dopamine levels in the brain, and that virtually no one would seek out if it was suddenly illegal.

Well, a huge lot of people make usage of bitcoin like it is gambling (i.e. as a speculative asset).

Cannot make generalities of course, but still.
