If you walk down the street you will see literally hundreds of people owning it as an asset.
BTW - it even has a high degree of utility as an asset because it cannot be tampered or destroyed.
Also - it has some real life uses (Everledger, MiVote etc.)
And yes, it's highly speculative.
Imagine the first people using gold as a currency - crazy right?
