It was supposed to be a currency it's a commodity.

  This explanation I can buy. Nobody is treating like a currency. They keep wanting it to appreciate because they see it a cool tech-related commodity.

    Agreed. Seems like its a commodity to be traded, a black market currency for criminal activity (i am not bothered by this), a currency for countries that need a way to buy goods outside there normal means. All the currency aspects are really cool especially as a means of freedom BUT its value is 100% based on speculation and trading not because of real value. It is cool and i am not hating on it and people are getting rich from it but it's value isn't because all of a sudden average people are using it to buy groceries or pay their bills.

      > isn't because all of a sudden average people are using it to buy groceries or pay their bills. Now that it's in the media: why couldn't this quickly and quietly become reality?
