I think you said it best with this.... "Value itself is illusory, invisible and intangible, yet it actually exists." .... I can compare that to the "skins" or "add-ons" that gamers are buying for their video games.... because it is not something that you can touch, but it is a creation of someone in a virtual world, that has value.

We have seen people buying virtual "Land" in a virtual world for thousands of Dollars in online worlds, but a lot of people cannot see how a "virtual" Crypto coin can have value.... absurd, if you think about it in that way.
