I would say that the real reason that most people are interested in Bitcoin is because they are hoping that the price skyrockets and it makes them money.
Obviously there are some libertarians that like the thought of taking the power of money away from the Fed and Gov't, and then there is a smaller number of people that are interested in it's potential for micro-transactions.
At the end of the day, I would say the largest percentage of people are here because they are hoping to hit it big like some of the early adopters that got in in the single digits.

Those reasons aren't mutually exclusive. A person can desire financial success and wish to change the world at the same time.
Yeah true, but I would say that 75% of people would rather have the wealth, than the ability to change the world. Its not a coincidence that the wall/price observer thread is probably the most active thread on this entire forum.
Sadly I can't argue with this. People are very short sighted in general and often fail to see what really generates happiness, hence the state of the world.
