While your comment is very much true, there is some apparent snarky feel to it that seems unnecessary.
In my case at least, there is no speculation element attached to bitcoin. In fact, its volatility is very detrimental.
I am dividing my life and work projects between the US, Europe and Brazil. I'd love to be able to just charge people in BTC. I wouldn't lose 6-7% every time I needed to convert money from USD to BRL, or from BRL to EUR. I can't say how much easier it would be for me to report taxes...
Widespread adoption of BTC could be a good thing in itself. There are other groups of people interested in bitcoin besides the "fiat must die", the silk roads and the speculators.
