I don't see the point to buying Bitcoin.

I was born before 1980 (< 1 year before, but still true statement) so maybe I really don't get it, but a "currency" that doesn't have transaction speed or throughput needed for widespread use doesn't seem appealing to me.

I like to read about the protocol and rummage through the code. Reading about hacks/scams and other interesting stories is fun. But my interest has not so far induced me to invest money or computing time into any cryptocurrency.
