Does money have an intrinsic value?
The answer is no.
Money is fragile and temporary. And precisely this is the main argument used against cryptocurrencies: they claim to be worthless because “they have no backing”.
The fiat money is issued against debt taken by the State and then paid with the collection of taxes and other resources.
Cryptocurrencies are issued on the basis of a cost (network, mining or transaction fees).
The value of a good lies in its demand. The value is given by the market. Value is subjective.
