That is a depressing viewpoint. Money doesn't make happy, it just provides financial security. There are so many more important things to life.

You are deluding yourself if you think Bitcoin can only climb in value. At the end of the day there is very little you can buy with it unless you trade it in for a real currency. And for you to make a profit, someone else had to lose money. It's a zero sum game. Eventually there will be no more fools to invest in it.
