If we are defining value, I would not say that value is equivalent to intrinsic value, or else the phrase "intrinsic value" would be redundant. Currencies have value even though they do not have intrinsic value. Notably, this value is as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and as a store of value.
Bitcoin's capped supply increases its ability to store value, and so too does its demand increases. Yes, you could make a currency the exact same as Bitcoin, but it probably wouldn't be as good as a long-term store of value, because its network is smaller. |

Nothing has intrinsic value, value is a relational and marginal property - I value things differently than you, and you value the first litre of water differently than the thousandth. And even then the value of something is not fixed and may change over time, you probably now value things differently than you did as a child.
