My mind is never made up, on anything. There are only increasing levels of proof required to change it, depending on my own level of knowledge/learning/research on a topic.
I don't know how to explain that trading resources back into computational work for the purpose of network security and transactional integrity is a form of value.
I will look into this.
When attempting to define the characteristics that make a currency ‘functional’, Aristotle settled on five traits – fungibility, durability, portability, divisibility and intrinsic value. Crypto is the first currency in the history of civilization to check all boxes.
If it does indeed have intrinsic value, I will agree with you. I will look more into what you have described above to see if that is real value (a real resource that has productivity uses outside of its use as a currency) or if it is only useful because someone says it is.
