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.
Currencies are a shared dream, stop believing and they Tinkerbell. That said, a BitCoin does have a definitive value, and won't go away. But it's certainly not $50k.
