It's not an asset. It doesn't provide value or a return.

It is an asset, unless you consider gold etc. to not be assets either?
Gold has industrial uses without even talking about jewelry. Even if everyone stopped valuing gold as a form of currency, it would still has some intrinsic value.
What would that value be though? 20% of its current value? Would you then say that gold was only 20% asset and 80% ponzi?
