And when bitcoin collapses we will make sure the camera crews at your house do your makeup and lighting extra well.
BTC and other cryptos are valuable for two reasons, afict: 1) deflationary (can't print/limited supply) 2) ease of transfer outside traditional banking system/capital controls (open-source blockchain verifies transaction integrity). Point#2 can't be overstated enough. To transfer millions in wealth by means of an electronic password, to anywhere in the world in minutes, is vastly superior to the Gov-controlled/heavily-policed/heavily-restrictive fiat system we have today.... Bitcoin and other digital currencies fill that niche where fiat fails (heavily restrictive transactions).

"deflationary (can't print/limited supply)" - well, there might be a limited supply of coins with the name Bitcoin, but there seems to be an unlimited # of coins with different names that can do the same as or more than Bitcoin. Unlimited supply = not worth much. It will crash, rest assured.
How is that any different than a bunch of digits when I log into my internet banking? Or a bunch of "shares" in my brokerage account.

IMO, cryptocurrencies aren't trash because significant utility exists, e.g lower transaction fees and faster processing of financial transfers/payments.
