The Instrinsic Value of Crypto and Its Unstoppability

I've got to say that the people like Peter Schiff that argues gold has intrinsic value just because it can be used for something else, like jewelry and in electronic products, kind of miss the point of crypto. The other argument people use as a negative is that it's a shame that people can just spin up new cryptos out of thin air.

The intrinsic value of crypto is all about the technology allowing peer to peer transfer without a middle man and of course smart contract functionality. Crypto is also a building block that can be used in creating software, kind of like gold can be used in electronics. I think we will see more and more software with crypto tech, as it enables exciting functionality. As for digital worlds, i.e the metaverse, I believe crypto is a requirement for an open and secure metaverse.

Also, that progammers can spin up new cryptos in minutes (creating something original is of course more time consuming) helps liberate the technology making it more unstoppable. Let's say some government entity or hacker group or someone else figures out a way and decides to stop some cryptos to some extent, or make them very inconvenient, new ones will pop up quickly.

From an investing point of view; People are spinning up new companies for people to invest in on stock markets all over the world, all the time as well.

Exactly what coins will go up in price making people the most money is not of importance compared with the intrinsic value of crypto in software and its unstoppability. Of course, those features are also why some coins will go up in price over time as they gain adoption.

Any thoughts on this point of view?

What sets this Forum apart from other Discussion Forums?

The Internetier Forum at launch consists of thousands of forums all neatly organized. Instead of having to register for new forums all the time when you want to discuss another topic, we hope having all of these forums available with one login will be of convenience.

As you post new threads, replies, and react by giving thumb ratings to the content posted by other users, you help let our system know what content is hot and what users are most trustworthy.

Energy & Levels

Two of the unique features of this forum is the enegergy and level systems. As you participate in the forum and receive replies and thumbs up and down, you'll gain and lose levels. Your level is displayed next to your profile picture. How high a level a user has helps others decide if the user is trustworthy or not.

The higher your level, the higher your daily enegery is which will boost your actions on the forum. Let's say you are level 2, then your thumbs up rating on a post will count twice as a thumbs up giving from a level 1 user.
