I see what your saying. But a few things. The speculation is a relatively recent phenomena in bitcoin. There were always speculators, however since the new year it has exploded. You hear less about people producing items, starting online stores, or engaging in a more tangible economy. They are there and will continue to come into the fold (In my opinion).

 This experiment is just getting started.  Lets not fuck it up! Lets get it right. Be greedy but also be generous.
