Exactly. Cryptocurrency valuations at the moment are 99% speculation about future utility. Actually it may be 99.9%.

Yes I should have said "on the order of 99%". I think generally figures like "99%", when used in this context, imply that this is an approximate value, but I agree that it's better to explicitly state that.
