Think of a train carrying freight - Bitcoin is the freight and the train and tracks are the important part because that is the part that really has value.
Everything is important and therefore everything has value. Freight cannot be moved without a train and tracks, and a train and tracks have no purpose without the freight that needs to be moved.
Just my 2 cents and again I'm new - but that is what I see.
Surely, you sound like a no coiner, but at least you're curious, why else would you be here?
