Value is a really strange thing that is almost magical.

The time and the friction adds value even if the item is worthless. 

It's not possible to control value, I don't believe.  One mans trash is another mans treasure.

I was talking to a guy today who did an interview with a large exchange. They sent him a testnet for the interview, and required it to be sent back!  LoL!!!!  A multibillion-dollar company reeling back in their coins.

Feels a little like value.
