About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

That is the thing. The person you replied to didn't say "bitcoin can only be used for speculation" they said "there is no reason for the value to move as it does (beyond speculation)". which means that it IS relevant. Otherwise you are saying both " yes there are other reasons" and "it's not relevant if there are other reasons"
No, they said
Which I responded to appropriately. There are other reasons.
In my previous response to you, I said
I didn't say that speculation wasn't relevant. I said that whether people use it beyond speculation isn't relevant. It remains true that it can be exchanged for other things of value. As a counter-example, it turns out that NFTs attached to random JPGs are pure speculation, mainly because they are not a limited resource, and because the things they are attached to are also not a limited resource. If holding an NFT represented ownership of something which was a limited resource - like a piece of real estate, or a car, or a share of a business - then such an NFT would have value. That would require a common public agreement on such a system, which does not currently exist, but it's not impossible.
Now, if we're talking about BTC specifically, its use case outside being a store of value is now pretty limited, mainly because of the way it was designed. Other coins and tokens have greater use cases, but there hasn't really been a "breakout" moment for anything yet.
ENIAC was completed in 1945, and it took many decades for digital computers to become ubiquitous. Now we take them for granted. Someone, at some point, will have a useful practical application for blockchain.
