When I got into Bitcoin in 2012 seeing "the light" for me was no fee international transfers and a non-traceable way to pay for whatever. There wasn't any wealth investing. Everyone was agreeing it had value and I liked that concept.

I had felt let down by banks and financial institutions after 2008 and this was a new way to do business with people outside that.

It became something else after the end of the 2013 spike to $1k, and then I guess I was aware its use was mostly for illicit activities, but it still has plenty of use cases beyond just increasing in value.
