All social constructs are made up. Fiat cash doesn't have any value, gold doesn't have any value, bitcoin doesn't have any value, UNLESS the socially agreed upon norm for any of them is that it does. It's the same for any social construct - there are no countries, or borders, or monarchs or rulers, it's all just made up and agreed upon.
