Over 8 years since launch, it seems people's motivations for buying / using BTC are still 1) speculation, 2) criminal activity
It clearly doesn't compete with other payment networks. Not once has a bank said "we should lower our wire fees to stay competitive vs BTC"

Buying in, and 10 minute purchase confirmations are the biggest barriers to entry for BTC - LTC has a solution to the latter.
