This is about the most poorly written article out there . How can you make a claim like She ' s never even taken a public position on common core and then make it a hyperlink that links to . no proof of any kind whatsoever ? She has a statement ON HER WEBSITE that says she ' s against common core . Stop looking at stupid blogger journalist garbage on the internet . Most of what ' s in this article is false or misrepresenting the truth so badly that it ' s still a lie . <| sep |> It ' s true . The question of intrinsic value is really this If nobody else on earth wants it , what can you do with it ? With gold , I can make a spoon or fill a cavity . With a piece of wood , I can burn it or build something with it . With food or water , I can consume it . With paper money , I can burn it or make paper airplanes out of it . With bitcoins . what can you do with it ? If nobody else on the planet wants your bitcoins , what value do they truly have ? Almost everything has some kind of value even if nobody else wants it hell even with a rock , I can throw it . But what can you do with a bitcoin if nobody else wants it ? If you can answer that , you ' ll convince me that bitcoin has intrinsic value .
