I agree.  The number of uses of the blockchain is large, and one of them is as a store of value.  Given the situation with FACTA, inflation in many countries (e.g. South America, potentially lots of other places), banking privacy, instability in the banking systems in some countries (e.g. south Europe), exchange controls in many places, gold and other PM limits (e.g. India) etc, the store of value aspect is quite valuable to many people around the world.
