Yup, and it's the one topic where a subset of HN commenters continue to overlook an incredible amount of technical/product deficiencies, just because it could potentially make them rich. If it had actual utility, people would be spending it and not just hodling.

People are spending it. And a lot of it. You need to spend ether to put smart contracts into the Ethereum blockchain and you also pay for transaction fees with it.
