Hope. I've been seeing it a lot lately, connected to bitcoin. While I can understand using this word in the old "a feeling of trust" definition. The more modern meaning behind the word is wanting something outside of your control to happen.

In this way, hope is actually preventing individuals from taking action in things they actually can control. In the context of bitcoin, I don't think this "hope" analogy fits. Buying bitcoin is taking action, not hoping that someone will take action for you.
