You see this question ‘what is Bitcoin doing’ and the financial press usually means this in relation to the exchange rate, the price the amount in dollars etc…
They don’t mean the fees, they don’t mean the hashrate, they don’t mean the utxo set, or even things like a soft fork or consensus change…
It’s all ‘the exchange rate’ and what it does. Who cares. What about the network itself?
If Bitcoin fails long term it will be because users could not differentiate between ‘the price’ and the actual network which are 2 different things.

I couldn't agree more. We need to teach people that bitcoin is a new, peer-to-peer economic system, not a casino chip for a fiat gambling system.
