Your example is intentionally absurd and there really is no connection. The same applies to cryptocurrency, any more or less significant event in this sphere affects the overall mood of the market. And your denial of this fact only speaks about your lack of understanding of this relationship.
And which coins, in your opinion, made for speculation: Bitcoin, Ethereum, or maybe dash? What do you do? What kind of meaningless generalizations?
That the ether itself has acquired such traits? How? For your information, bitcoin was not created for speculation. Speculation a consequence of the novelty of the technology. Person is in the same boat with all the cryptocurrencies and there are no grounds for the conviction that he is the exception to the rule.
Answer me directly. Ether, waves, nem created for profit or not? How would you even define it?
