This is very abstract. I'm looking for a clear reason why a person/business/organization/etc would want to buy STEEM for something that isn't speculation or "because I can earn more STEEM".

For some examples, someone might say:

• I bought Bitcoin because my local currency is being debased and the government confiscates precious metals.
• I bought Ether because I want to use decentralized applications that run on the platform and that requires ETH to pay gas fees.
