Is the service and profitability, even if bitcoin is highly volatile, are the only two reasons why bitcoin is attractive to investors? Any good opinions or answers? Thanks
No, I believe that Bitcoin was a proof of concept for the Blockchain, the real innovation behind the scenes. Bitcoin shows how a publicly distributed ledger was the next wave that would disrupt finance and accounting as we knew it.
A transparent ledger on a digital platform that pushes its userbase to participate, rewarding those that contribute keeping the chain running.
It was made open source, as to encourage experimentation, which has lead to expansion.
I like to think of it as an idea that we're investing in, one that had a proof of work to sustain its validity.
Just my two cents!
