My general interest in bitcoin is revolutionary, but acquisition of bitcoin does has a relationship to the dollar cost of some things, perhaps at least bitcoin. If the price of bitcoin dropped 80% and I knew about it I would definitely be compelled to acquire more bitcoin which would certainly be distracting...

You said price is a distraction. I gave you an arbitrary number of the price and asked if you would still think it's just a distraction. I didn't say anything about the protocol breaking or not or if that number is realistic.

Afaict, you're dodging the question. But I am fine rephrasing the question to this if that helps you:

If the price goes down by 80%, is that also just a distraction?
