I think most people buy Bitcoin for its speculative value but never use it as a currency to actually buy or sell stuff.

I use it as a currency to both buy and sell stuff.

If the gp had said “no one uses it to...” your anecdotal sample of one response would have been sufficient to disprove the claim. However, it is at best anecdotal and at worst completely irrelevant to the actual claim made (i.e. that most BTC users are investing in the currency).

Okay? Do you have any insight as to whether you belong to the set of "most people"?

I bought some Bitcoin over five years ago, totally forgot about it, and then remembered I had bought some. I sold it and bought an SLR camera to photograph the total eclipse this summer. It felt like the time I won a few hundred bucks at the slots in Nevada.
