Why are you easily able to see gold as having intrinsic value but not Bitcoin? Both are valuable because a lot of people say so. There is no other value but utility and most currencies, including the dollar, do not have any utility other than their ability to function as currency.

Gold has physical value, right ? For example, used in electronics, jewelry, etc. but gold is a terrible investment so if bitcoin is like gold should we also assume it's a terrible investment like gold ?
