Yeah 12 years ago people actually thought they'd be using Bitcoin as it was intended: as a currency. Now most people know better than to do anything but trade it.

It's designed to be harder than gold. When there is a shortage of gold people starting mining it. With Bitcoin there is always a shortage of money. I don't know why people think expensive money is good money. It really isn't.

And value. One of the reasons Bitcoin is so expensive is bcs most of it isn't being traded. If people actually start using it and loosen the supply, value goes down.
