Because that need is what separates bitcoin from Beenie Babies, Beenie Babies used to be worth a fortune, people made a mint buying and selling them, the price skyrocketed right up to the point the whole world went 'hey wait a minute this is just a 3 dollar stuffed toy!!'

I'm not going to try to persuade you. The info and analysis is out there and you can make your own judgment. Why ask people here when there is plenty of freely available expert analysis?
