I stand correct, the SR point is so '2011ish, everybody understands that BTC is not "heavily influenced" by illegal activity, that's a drop in the ocean, what drives BTC is the hope it will be valued higher in the future.
Let's use a different word , more suitable


I do see the word "greed" come up a lot when talking BTC. And of course the word "hoarding."
But what is wrong with the words "saving" and "store of value"? In a sense we are talking the same thing (though clearly not always.)
What is wrong with moving money (e.g. USD) created by a central bank and used to fund wars (since the war tax thing didn't go over well) into something else?
To have a money that doesn't penalize saving and is not centrally controlled is a nice step forward (before Star Trek like "monetary use"...)
Let me tell you why I'm kind of against hoarding...
Not because some economical model or economic school or god knows what
It's because some people think , there are only 21m bitcoins. According to glabal market bla bla bla..... , price should be 60k usd let's say.
But if we stash 10mils away , wouldn't the price be 120K?
Of course there are a few , a x% , but enough to annoy me.

It's because of people who misuse even a great idea just for their personal wealth instead of helping it out that I slowly lose faith in human society.
