Gold has intrinsic value based on the industrial and jewelry uses: you could lose a lot more over the industrial demand point but it won’t go below that point because people use it for things other than speculation.
In contrast, random hashes have no value outside of a particular community consensus. You can’t do anything with them and the ones in the Bitcoin blockchain have no more inherent value than those in any other network.
