Investing in BTC as a collectible unit is a huge speculation, I have no doubt about it. No matter how other Bitcoin supporters talk about "such a useful ledger", there's no way to deduce how much all BTC units should be worth. Bitcoin-as-network is as good at $10/BTC as at $1000000/BTC.

The price is merely an indicator of the demand (since the supply is fixed).

Given that it's relatively nascent, low turnover, goofy and so forth, I'm apprehensive when hearing "very coinbase…
