Well put. The fundamentals are: pretty much everything in this world has a known fiat currency value.

The difference with BitCoin is that you can't go to a farmer and buy his goods, or pick up a used car, go to an auction, or take a wedge of greenbacks and disappear.

Until that becomes a ready reality, BitCoin is separate from actual trade, and completely vulnerable to speculation.
