Bitcoin is an interesting technology that was adopted by a bunch of people who spouse a crazy ideology. They believe that all financial problems we have are due to the specific currency used, namely paper-based currency controlled by a central bank. While I don't agree with all decisions made by the American currency creators, it is crazy to think that all financial issues would be solved by moving tomorrow to gold or bitcoins. This belief system is what made bitcoin popular along a certain segment of the population.
