Great video.
Regardless of what Satoshi's vision was, in the beginning, is irrelevant now. I am sure it wasnt to be manipulated by outside sources like governments, media banks etc.
But once they start spreading FUD it drops like mad!
Everything evolves and look at the marketplace now compared to 2/3 years ago.
I agree with you when you say - BTC has changed from peer-to-peer digital cash, to "digital gold".
More people have stopped using BTC becuase of the high fees, (hopefully Segwit and lightining will help)
I honestly believe more and more people are just accumalinating BTC instead of using it, therefore making it a store of value.
Coins like BCH, LTC, ETH are much quicker and fees alot lower.
The Bitclub network which is a huge mining operation just switched the entire set up over to BCH for payments as it is much cheaper to operate with.
