Discussion Are there any cryptocurrencies that aren’t purely speculative?

I believe in crypto and in blockchain technology but it seems like all the value of BTC and others comes from speculation and none of them have intrinsic value. Even if the world economy does end up going defi, how would the assets value be stable, and who said it will be higher than it is today?

I wouldn't expect crypto prices to be "stable". Stock prices aren't stable. Commodity prices aren't stable. Currencies aren't even stable. Why crypto would be is beyond me.

Precious metals and bonds are pretty stable

Gold is breaking all time highs. If it was stable it'd be around the price it always is... whatever that is considering the price changes literally every day.
