You know, local people often tell me that now that they see Bitcoin accepted all over the island, they find it interesting because they can actually use it, and it makes them curious about it. These ordinary people don't know who Saylor or Mallers are, and these individuals doesn't improve their lives.
My friend, it's not the same thing, a circular Bitcoin economy where ordinary people begin to have contact for the first time, than a Saylor or Mallers leveraging Bitcoin to increase their profits.
One is popular grassroots adoption of the currency and the network, by P2P trading, saving, and spending, and the other is purely speculation on price and making Fiat money through buy and sell fees.
Of course we are not the same, but I don’t care that much, won’t argue, because bitcoin is for everyone, I don’t care how they use it, if someone says the work “bitcoin” for good or bad, that’s positive for me.
