All of which is speculative & counting on a future where BTC usage will be more prevalent.

And how exactly will it become more prevalent when it can't be used for transactions.



> All of which is speculative

Just like Gold, coloured beads, or stocks

> can't be used for transactions.

Gold is a pain to use for transactions, and so are shares, but they still store value and people continue to speculate on their future worth?


Gold is tangible and definitely has real world applications. Shares are backed a legal system tying them back to the real world corporation and it's assets.

BTC in the absence of transactions has not tie-back to anything.
