Right now I would say it is a commodity. I think the majority of people getting into bitcoin right now are doing it either for emotional reasons or because they have enough disposable income to play with it. I don't think I could convince my mom or dad to start using bitcoin, or even just a stranger on the street. It's still just a novelty for nerds.
