The shocking part is how little educated many Bitcoiners are, albeit being super opinionated. So, here Basic Economics: Value = Utility * People * Rarity Since it is a multiplication, if 1 factor is 0, value is 0. Bitcoin has 0 Utility -> zero value. Other factor with people and rarity don't matter anymore. Gold: ok utility (eletronics, jewlery, industrial, etc.) and is used by literally everyone on this planet and has strong rarity -> strong value Plastic: strong utility, very little rarity -> very little value Beautiful quote by Mark Twain in that context: "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble, it is what you know for sure that will."(Dr. Julian Hosp)
