I got my first BTC 2010 thinking its a kind of donation for WikiLeaks because banks shut down their accounts. Purchased 6.500 BTC for a total amount of 35,- Euro (horribly expensive that time but I thought its a donation ....) then I forgot them and the harddisc they where stored on. 2 years later when MtGox crashed it reminded me of my wealth and I sold them in panic for 7.000 Euro thinking BTC will disappear totally .Since that day I was watching it -- and what it always was missing was the ability to PAY with. Miners came and gave a better chance to those who could afford miners, better chance for those with cheap energy while the idea behind it was to produce them by yourself and pay with them off the fiat-money-circle. And since that day, since the miners came, BTC became an object for gamblers, a few people hold most of BTC and can rise and dump them however they want and need it. I dont know if its better to regain control over BTC or to construct a new coin people can really use like BTC 10 years ago was meant to be: producing it by decentral people and to pay with it on the net.
