Intrinsic value, patiently and tirelessly explained again, this time with new words:
Intrinsic value: Think of something that you have, but can not sell, lend, give away, or trade in any form. The value that the thing has, if any, is the intrinsic value.
In the market, it can be sold or exchanged some way, for something that is slightly less valuable to the other trader. This is the total value.
The money value, or speculative value, is the difference between the two. So you have value = intrinsic value + money value.
Most consumable things have only intrinsic value, other things you have in your posession because you know they also could be traded for a higher value than your own use value. This include houses, vintage cars, wine, old paintings, and sometimes smaller things that you know others will value in the future. For example, if you join a group to quit smoking, in the form of a hike to kilimanjaro, it could be smart to fill up unused space in your backpack with cigarettes and sell them for an exorbitant price.
What we call money, have mostly only the speculative value. Gold has is a little of both, but mostly money value. Bitcoin and fiat paper rectangles have almost exclusively speculative value. I call it pure money.

metals have a intrinsic value while bitcoins does not. i no longer trust bitcoin because it is, in my opinion, manipulated by whales and exchanges.your in the club or your not... their are predators out hunting for some poor newb who invests a bunch money into the scheme while they pump it and then they turn around and dump on them causing them to fear and dump their coins at a loss for their gain.. you trying to claim that is a system we can trust ?? this is my new opinion about bitcoin.
There is no such thing as intrinsic value. Gold's utility value is pretty low and its current price is mostly speculative. Good luck with that. You write that as if it were either true or meaningful, so lets unpack it a bit. This "no such thing as intrinsic value" notion depends whether you are talking philosophy or economics. Economics has a practical definition of intrinsic value, which very different from the arguments philosophers use. So there is such a thing, unless you are 'only' a philosopher and not also an economist. For those that are both, or are at least economists, the opposite is true.

For sure, it's. Why wouldn't it be not ? Price may drop to $100 or something like this and I can lose everything very fast, right? Is it even possible? I'm really afraid of this.

Nothing is safe! Fiat isn't safe. Bitcoin is high risk but could be high reward. Only invest what you can afford to lose. Same old saying.

Its like investing in penny stocks right now. If you can afford to lose , the risk can be very rewarding if it goes up. A lot of us have seen the ups and downs, so yeah.... you just never know. Those that bought at $5 now are rather well off, even at the current prices.
