Sure, I mean the ability to transmit value anywhere in the world without needing to trust any third party, or the even the other party of the transaction, with instant* final settlement has "no factual reason" to be valuable.
An incorruptible ledger that can't be counterfeited, has the ability to be used privately, can be transported anywhere in the world by simply memorizing a seed phrase, and can't be easily confiscated.
That zero to one innovation?
Your position is foolishness and there is no Bitcoin price that can change that, no matter how low. So long as Bitcoin continues to work as designed this doesn't change. You're not alone, plenty have danced on Bitcoins grave before and will continue to do so. I'm convinced most people that don't understand the intrinsic value of this don't see how valuable instant un-reversable settlement is.
USD price does not invalidate what Bitcoin is. Granted maybe trimming the position a bit at $120k would have been a good move
the tech is well known by now and has been replicated thousands of times
it does not have intrinsic value based on the tech behind it, it isn't unique and it isn't the best at what it does

There is only one first. Distribution matters and it's the only "block chain" that is actually decentralized. You are categorically incorrect.
We've already had a year of languishing to prep. Our loins are already fully girded and im locked in for another 3 years!

Most Western people just lack context.Sure, I mean the ability to transmit value anywhere in the world without needing to trust any third party, or the even the other party of the transaction, with instant* final settlement has "no factual reason" to be valuable.

Between Western nations there is very little financial friction. If you have regular people amounts of money and need to spend $50k on a major life purchase in another country. This is trivial and bitcoin is not necessary here nor would it make the transaction easier.
However in many countries in the world there is only one banking system and they can nay on anything you do involving sending money outside the country. Bitcoin gets around all of that. Making it priceless internationally.
