Could you elaborate on how the intrinsic value of Bitcoin is determined? Many argue that it's purely speculative, yet some suggest it holds a certain worth based on its limited supply, decentralized nature, and potential use cases. How does one quantify these factors to arrive at a fair valuation? Do economic models and traditional valuation techniques apply to Bitcoin? Or is it a case of supply and demand driving the price, with no clear intrinsic value to speak of? Clarifying this would be greatly appreciated.
