Everyone in the crypto space has had people tell them that Bitcoin is worthless or that it doesnt have any true value.
Of course, thats infuriating to hear, but for investors new to the space, its sometimes hard to craft a good answer.
So heres a little cheat sheet for any newbies out there who get this question or accusation:
1. Bitcoin is safe. It cant be hacked because its decentralized.
2. Bitcoin eliminates layers of transaction fees.
3. Bitcoin is fast (especially after the lightning upgrade).
4. Bitcoin provides more privacy than normal transactions.
5. Bitcoin hedges against stupidity from central banks and governments.
6. Bitcoin cant be counterfeited.
7. Bitcoin isnt tied to other asset classes and is a hedge against other investments.
In short, Bitcoin solves massive problems with the financial and political world, and that is its value.
And because its the most tested and has first mover advantage, it has been established as a store of value, much like digital gold.

Perhaps, bitcoin defies the traditional meaning of value and asset. It created a world where value is just a matter of perception and acceptance. But, indeed, even bitcoin is just an encrypted coin, non tangible, neither a material, it is now consider so valuable and even more precious than gold in terms of price. It is perhaps the, the sum of all its potential properties that makes it highly valuable.
