A lack of real wrld application you say? that alone denies your earlier statement that you are an holder of bitcoin that believes in it decentrlization. crtainly, the hype about bitcoin and the speculation on what it next price will be is just what it is because of the potential that holders have on it. as long as investors look at bitcoin from the point of view of being profitable at it, they are going to continue speculating bitcoin price and as adoption also increses, the fact still remains that bitcoins relevant as a means of solving global financial problem will still remain top at the conversation of the usefulness of bitcoin.
you can't stop speculation since it is coming from multiple angle. it is either those that are bullish about bitcoin continues to hype it and reemphasize the need for it adoption or that those that are agaisnt it try to be bearish about there speculation which is going to lead to moreconversation on what bitcoin next price will be. with that and the FOMO that newbie investors experience, bitcoin still remains a relevant asset not just in the now but also in the future to come.

BTC and believing in decentralization doesn’t mean I have to ignore its lack of real-world applications. In fact, it’s because I believe in it that I want to see it used more actively. Speculation will always exist, but freedom also means pushing for its use beyond just price hype.
What real world applications are you referring to Bitcoin was designed to serve a purpose by the originator of Bitcoin and that was to server as a store of value where people can use it as a digital currency.
I think that you should get this straight first because if you should talk about real world applications Bitcoin that Bitcoin was designed to solve a problem first it's just now that people are getting to see the opportunities that Bitcoin holds that is why Bitcoin has become a big time business or assets that people are rushing to own and for the information Bitcoin has come too far for anyone to be hyping it or run on speculation Bitcoin trajectory or growth profile is there for anyone to fact check
