I bought BTC to use as currency for transactions not as an investment. It should be used for that purpose. MLM only has one purpose - to recruit others into it. I don't ask other people to buy BTC so I can make a profit. MLM usually has a pyramid commission structure.

If you don't mind me asking, what types of transactions do you currently use it for? Based on the current technology and fees, it is quite expensive to transact, and really doesn't make sense for me.

That said, I can see a future for it if something like lightning network ever gets released (and actually works).

Currently it doesn't make sense to use it for transactions with it changing wildly from one hour to the next which is a shame. I will be glad when it settles down. However I have in the past used it for online transactions and used it in small bars/restaurants and used BTC ATMs

Bitcoin has a flat fee per transaction, so even at $6 it doesn't take a lot of money until it's winning out over the 5% PayPal takes.

Bitcoin has any fee you want per transaction, from 0 to all the bitcoin you control. The more you pay in fees, the more likely it is to be included on the blockchain sooner.

Yes, people may be able to live their life without going back to USD currency, so their will be no devaluation of a crypo X as long as people trust it (as gold). When a cryto X is not trusted anymore people are going to stop using it to go back to USD or another crypto thus devaluating the cryto X in respect to the USD.

A big advantage of cryptocurrencies (I think) is that there is no regulation (no central bank injecting billions), but it is also its Achilles's heel because it can't be used ha s a commodity currency because it miss the stability of a currency backed by a central bank.
