Ability to send vale across the world, to anywhere, for relatively low fees, could count as providing value, don't you think? A lot of people do.

Bitcoin got labeled just a "store of value", but with Bitcoin Lightning it can be used for low fee payments too.

Pity about mining though, I wish they followed Ethereum into staking. It doesn't matter how much value you provide if you burn the planet along the way.

If it's working as intended then there's no point in holding on to the crypto itself as there should be a race to the bottom to keep fees low. By investing in crypto as a technology you're hoping that the technology becomes popular but remains expensive.
