Sorry if I didnt understand sarcasm, but in case you are serious, "speculation" is not the same as "store of value." Whether crypto is a good speculation target is a difficult question, but most do not sell crypto as a "speculation target" as its primary attribute. It is also unlikely that something whose primary attribute is speculation can have a positive roi long term.

I'm not being sarcastic (this time). When crypto people say "store of value" I'm pretty sure they mean (long-term) speculation.

Also consider that people may be investing for a different reason than what they say.
