Maybe because nobody's using Bitcoin as a currency and it's all speculation.

Currencies actually get used for transactions...

That's an interesting theory, considering this story is about someone using Bitcoin for a transaction.

EDIT: it's Friday, be nicer me

That doesn't fit. Per bitinfocharts.com the coin with the highest txn rate is Ethereum, followed closely by Bitcoin. The others are far behind. I'd say it's seeing a lot of use.
