Plenty of people have done that and captured some value. Bitcoin has the most secure network of its type and that has inherent value, it's also perceived to have value by millions of people around the world as opposed to your random fork.

Not sure if you see that it's your understanding of the world that's off here.

You're simply describing consensus, which was the point you missed in my previous post.

Currencies are not wealth, none of them, cryptocurrencies even less.

Money is worthless, rich people don't have money. They have art, companies, land, bonds, cars, boats, airplanes, but very little money.

The financial illiteracy of crypto cultists really has no end.

Money is a social construct. Other social constructs are countries and borders. They only exist due to social consensus and is a pure social construct. Social constructs do have real impact on your individual well-being though and should not be trivialized.

art is also worthless. crypto and art is basically the same thing
