you're correcting people who aren't wrong, regardless of bitcoin's future trajectory.
An investment doesn't have to be a good decision in order to qualify as an investment; using weasel words to work around 'tech-backlash' is just a sneaky way to pass the buck.
'tech' didn't make these investors make bad decisions.
I mean.. the phrase 'invest' is used routinely in professional gambling circuits like pro-poker. If they can get away with using 'invest', I see no problem with bitcoin speculators getting away with it.
