Fair point. Bitcoin is a precious metal without intrinsic value :)

You can argue for the other points in this circle, but really the thing it's closest to is some sort of gold/silver that you can't use for anything else.

I guess it can be used as a currency much easier than gold can be, but in general nobody really does.

In that case you are just arguing that something is arbitrarily valuable because it is valuable though, presumably?

So why would I want to invest?
