In your estimation, how much Bitcoin is purchased in hopes of gaining freedom from the existing banking system, and how much Bitcoin is purchased in hopes of making money when it goes up?

Not a lot, but it's definitely a thing. Speaking about majority, these days, most people and companies are accumulating Bitcoin only because in 5-10 years it'll worth much, much more. And that makes a lot of sense if you think about it. The shift to a digital form of currency will eventually happen anyway. I do not believe Bitcoin will ever become a global currency, but I strongly believe that it's going to stay with us for quite a long while. The blockchain technology is in its infancy and is experiencing a lot of research on all fronts.
