Holding and speculating is a valid use case for BTC. Many people see it as an investment and don't use it as a currency so it's not absolutely false.

If you are going to use coinmarketcap, at least filter out the non-mineable coins, Dogecoin is in the top 4.

What some people do with it doesn't invalidate what I said at all. I'm just saying that being deflationary doesn't stop you at all from spending it. What's the difference between holding it and only spending dollars, and spending your coins and buying more coins with your dollars? There is no difference. In fact, since lots of places accepting Bitcoin give you discounts if you use Bitcoin, you are encouraged to spend it instead of dollars.
