Serious question: why would one buy Bitcoin except for holding on to it? That seems like a very unhealthy reason imho...

Bitcoin is also not a private coin, ledger is public and anyone can analyze the flow of money.
The only private coin I know of is Monero (XMR). Analyzing Monero ledger is like looking at random data, there's no amounts, there's no receivers, there's no senders. Everything is fully, by default, encrypted.

It didn't exactly "crush" $9,000. It just nervously touched it, and then fled back. CoinTelegraph is generally garbage.
