"Intrinsic value" CANNOT be applied to commodities like #Bitcoin
Intrinsic value is supposed to be a way to calculate the true current value of an asset using variables like dividend streams, discounted cash flows, and residual income.
Commodities don't produce any of these, so you can't use intrinsic value to calculate what they're worth.
We don't value the food we eat based on the cash flow it provides - we price it based on supply and demand.
#Bitcoin is a commodity.
Intrinsic value only applies to stocks, real estate, bonds, etc.
It can be completely subjective based on an investor's assumptions for risk-free rates, consumer demand, etc.
For example, people say "Apple has intrinsic value" and "Apple isn't a speculative investment because of its cash flows."
How do you know people will still want iPhones 30 years from now?
Intrinsic value doesn't consider disruptive technology or network effects, because it isn't designed to do so.
