The only way you can make money off something like a currency is if demand > supply. What determines the supply? Solving problems with machines and energy only the 1% can afford. What determines the demand? The early bitcoin adopters hyping the "currency" so that they can later offload their bitcoins to bigger fools once they have made a good investment return.
