Why does eth have value?

I can name 3 things immediately.

Uniswap liquidity pools are a revolution in trading and uncensored market making. Aave lending protocols are as well. Love them or hate them nfts will never go away.

Anyone that comes in here and ask the same questions should refer to these things. Many times the people that ask why crypto has value do not come in good faith.

These three things are just scratching the surface, there's way more use case.

What I despise in any facet of Life are maximalists, fundamentalists, either in religion, ideology, or Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is cryptocurrency not separate or above or distinct. We are all in this together and competition breeds innovation. We are competing against centralized banking monopolies.
