This is really cool that you made a profit on this bubble, and if I were to take that point to heart and start investing USD in BTC, I guess I would just become part of that. As you say, I would just be out to get rich.

But what about all the non-fiat purposes of crypto currency? It seems that is what’s currently getting lost in the conversation.

For example, I simply want a way to accept electronic payments from people without dealing with middle men.

I want merchants and the general public to become aware of the inherent value in some blockchain by itself as a way for us all to spend “money” and get “paid” in a peer-to-peer manner.

I hope the people who are buying into this bubble come to see this. But I’m afraid if they do get burned, they will have missed the whole point.

This is the "intrinsic value" the media claims does not exist.
