Not to nitpick, but that seemed like only 4 reasons... ugh @khaleelkazi, get it together ;)

I think this article has some great timing is what I think. With the market diving today it's a great reminder of why we're here in the first place. There are going to be dips and FUD from a variety of sources, especially mainstream media, so the volatility is going to be there. Whether we can handle it depends on whether we think it will succeed.

I'm a big believer in this technology fixing some of the issues I have with how our society works. #1 is a huge reason I'm here! I was comfortable enough to invest an amount that was moderately significant to me and wish I had a bit more fiat that I'd feel comfortable putting in, especially on a day like today...
