Prove me wrong then , why do people buy steem other than to speculate?
To get more sway and profit in content curation, genius.
Which is speculation, even more genius.
You could argue that buying any cryptocurrency is speculation. The same could be said about Bitcoin.
You asked what uses other than speculation do people have for buying STEEM, and I gave you an answer.
They get more power as to what content gets upvoted, and they also make more money from curating. That is a purpose separate from speculating. You are some kind of dumb.
It is clear you have not read or do not understand the Steem whitepaper.
FUD on brother.
