I'm referring to the gains of Bitcoin, not the currency itself. Bitcoin advocates point to price growth as a sign of stability and use, but I'd posit that much of the growth comes from early use-cases which will likely disappear due to increased regulation (drugs, tax avoidance, escaping capital controls) or the result of fake market conditions (WillyBot, artificial Chinese volume due to bots operating in a zero-fee environment)
