So you bought it as a speculative investment?

[wackro]

Yes. The same as almost everyone buying crypto. But hoping that it would become a usable currency.

[headsoup]

That's two incompatible things though...

[MerelyMortal]

Only incompatible at the same time, but that's not what OP is saying. OP is saying that he hopes it turns from something that is speculative and not a widely-accepted currency, into something that is a widely-accepted currency and not speculative.

The old having one's cake and eating it too.

I get the optimism there, but I just can't see how the incentives possibly give way to each other there. Just have to ask kindly that those manipulating the platforms for profit stop?
