maybe, but would i want people to have hoarded thousands of these? they didn't work for them, just speculated and were there early. society just won't allow that.
Speculators are not just throwing money randomly everywhere. They try to see what the future will be like, usually with a rational analysis. By doing so, they propagate price information in the market and this price information has a lot of economics value. It is basically intelligence that can be exploited by economics agents in order to foresee what will be the future needs and trends.
