Well that's what is driving the 'value' at this point. Even if you think that there is something worthy about a digital currency generally, it is impossible to use Bitcoin either as a currency, a store of wealth, or a viable exchange medium if its price is being inflated--and constantly changing--due to nothing other than heavy speculation. That is a huge part of the problem, and it is independent of the ideology underlying it.There are a lot of legitimate reasons to be skeptical of BTC, but I see so many articles that oddly fixate on who is using it for what, and dismissing the value based on that. Innefectiveness via guilt by association. Weak.
