If Ethereum is a utility platform and the value of its coin rises, how can it continue to be used as a utility when its used as a store of value?
Most people that buy Ethereum aren't using it, they're trading.

You can try to create an asset use ethereum, There are some people are using ethereum to playing the dapps game in the platform. So, have you ever seen the bitcoin will be used or offer the utility usage to the token holders? Crypto is about a speculation and then i think that it looks very similar.

I don't quite follow. Maybe I can clarify, please bare with me as I start from what we can agree on--
Bitcoin is a store of value. People use Maslow's Hierarchy to justify the tulip bubble theory, which is fine, it is speculative and the users drive the price. But Bitcoin doesn't have smart contracts, no? And it was meant as for peer-to-peer transactions, but with no utility other than that I believe.

Ethereum on the otherhand is a utility platform and meant to build DAPPs, people use Solidity to build with Ethereum. So it has a use. So I suppose my point would be I find it kind of backwards when a utility coin is treated as a store of value, it defeats the purpose a tad and slows down innovation. And yes, most ICOs create utility coins as a store of value, but I'm trying to find the value of that concept is what I'm driving at. If there was a fixed/ stable value for Ethereum or any platform can that be more beneficial?
