But the speculation is not that people will want bitcoins as collector items or to buy alpaca socks or virtual avatars or anything else.
That's the only Bitcoin speculation that makes any sense, that in the future more traders than now will accept it as currency.
I speculate mainly that people will want bitcoins to store or transfer value not seizable by a central authority (which is to say that bitcoin is secure), and that others will continue speculating.
LOL. Well, good luck with that...
