What you’re describing is actually extrinsic value- value placed on it by people. Something with intrinsic value is something that has value without the need for that. Gold has value because of its actual material properties as an element. A company or apartment actually produces cash flow. Bitcoin only has value if someone thinks it does.

so everything you listed only has value because others decide to want it and they have relative scarcity? everyone wants air, but it's also everywhere. maybe in space fresh air that does not smell like years of piss and farts will have a hefty price.
