Bitcoin offers a textbook case of this divergence.
The price has been climbing, yet base-layer transaction activity dropped roughly 16% in the same period.

Price rises while trading volume falls, this is outrageous... It's really starting to look more like stocks than currency.

Prices rise, activity drops—that's the true picture of Bitcoin right now... In plain terms, it's pure speculation.

Prices are rising with little trading volume, isn't this just speculation... To put it plainly, it's now an asset gambling arena.
