>>why would anyone want to immediately lose 20% of their investment?...

They are not buying Bitcoin to gain x% a year. That's what Dow Jones or AT&T stock are about. They are buying bitcoin hoping it goes to $100K a coin, and having a coin that has been used to buy/sell drugs or women...well you get it. Feds can take it or no one refuses to buy it.
