The value of bitcoin is that it can be traded, easily, and can't be easily faked. Gold can't be easily faked, but it can't be traded so easily.

For a bitcoin to be completely worthless rather stretches the imagination. At a minimum they are a sort of geeky collector's item and inherently limited in supply. They also cost next to nothing to store.
