Bitcoin is used by people - for example in countries with capital controls or hyperinflation. It is also legal tender in El Salvador.

In any case your argument is a bit silly? There is an infamous Italian artist who sold tins of his own shit [1]. Would you like to argue that these tins are worth ‘something’ because I can empty the shit out and reuse the tin? I’ll take the bitcoin thanks.
