  Cash doesn’t intrinsically generate value. It’s value comes from your belief in it.

    Yes, but Bitcoin is missing the liquidity of cash. Especially if an average transaction costs between $5 and $20

      And literal cash doesn't rely upon internet connectivity to a massive global network of millions of computers in order to transfer a store of value to the dude standing next to me. As methods of payments go, it's possibly the greatest Rube Goldberg machine ever conceived.

  I understand your concern over the lack of "intrinsic value" in the sense that it is not a productive asset generating economic value (like a business). That said, I'd really encourage you to consider that monetary value is real. I don't necessarily recommend investing in it, but there's a reason humans have valued gold for so long.
