“They have no intrinsic value.”

You could say the same for ANY fiat monetary system. How much value is a Zimbabwe dollar? Any currency controlled by central banks and the printing press is only worth what people trust. The paper itself, has no real value.

Modern fiat money is at least backed by the military of the country that provides it. They have a vested interest in its value. Crypto enjoys no such status.
