People used to say that “Bitcoin based on nothing…” that its value is basically zero compared to fiat money or “limited” assets like gold.
Bitcoin’s core value comes from its decentralization, its strictly limited supply, and the fact that the system actually known and works well in practice. The values like that are real.
What backs the internet itself—not the corporations trying to dominate it, but the open network underneath? It’s value comes from decentralization, trust, recognition. Or a pop star? Or a reputation? There is a lot of value “in the air”.
People genuinely need real decentralization. Most understand, at least on some level, that governments, corporations, and large institutions cannot always be trusted. Modern nation-state systems are overgrown, and slowly decaying. The masses phenomenon itself often create long-term harm.
At the same time, we see rising authoritarianism, reckless money printing, and, more importantly, aggressive asset grabbing. Which is natural at the scale level of systems like that, managers there often don’t mind real responsibility and feedback, causing lots of damage. Any BIG and centralized country can and will slide into corruption or dictatorship and suddenly freeze or seize people’s savings.
That is exactly the problem Bitcoin is designed to resist.
Decentralization, censorship resistance, and global adoption are what truly give Bitcoin its underlying value. Those are the reasons it is likely to endure.
What would the internet itself be today if it were just a Google product or an American government asset?
