- tripa 13y agoYou've only claimed it had value to Uncle Sam here, we're far from “intrinsic”.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoIt seems like a lot of people parse "intrinsic value" as "value".
- ye 13y agoHow is that a value? Even if it is a value in some bizarre universe, it's not intrinsic, but an external one.
- Lambdanaut 13y agoOnce again there's this ridiculous "intrinsic value" / "value" dichotomy. So then what, is your definition of "intrinsic value" that a recognized government accepts it as their official currency and exchanges bail bonds for it? That's incredibly arbitrary.
