Care to explain why?

I like to think I can be convinced by arguments.

But Bitcoin has kept working mostly the same way it started, right? Miners mine. People interested trade/speculate.

The thing about Bitcoin that changed over these years is what people think it is. Digital cash, nope. Micropayments, nope. Currency, nope. Store of value, could be. (I'm assuming volatility will decline in the long term if market capitalization approaches that of gold and as it gets adopted by millions more who don't speculate short term but just hold a few years to park some money and eventually exchange back to regular currency)
