What does the intrinsic value of crypto depend on?

[bayu7adi]

So far, there is still much debate about the intrinsic value of cryptocurrency...

Some say that its value will depend on the project that carries it... it is also included in the important fundamental aspects that have a big influence on the future of the related cryptocurrency.

Some also think that its value depends on user trust and community trust, the more people believe without looking at what the developer does, the higher its value will be

However, on the other hand, regulation also plays an important role in its intrinsic value

I would say all of the things you already mentioned above and more can all be contributing to the intrinsic value of a cryptocurrency. First and foremost, it is what the people or the community can be perceiving a certain platform and then we have the projects that are under its wing...so the more people and the more projects under its tutelage the more there can be value on it. In other words, this will primarily be market-driven...when there is a big market for something then we can its value rise on the horizon. This is quite similar to the many consumer branded products we have on the market that come and go...when a well-known product like Coke is selling well the brand is really so valuable but in case people will stop patronizing it then its value will plumet and may face oblivion which really happened to other popular brands before. And then we are experiencing it now in the world of cryptocurrency where a hot project can skyrocket in value only to find it dead five months or a year later.

Not sure about developer part, but I have always held notion that coins have value only because of community trust.

Look at Memecoins, they pop-up with dev mentioning contract address on X and yet some reach tremendous value.

Well, This really explain a lot about how different factors when consider define the value of the cryptocurrencies. Perhaps, we can admit that the projects standing behind the cryptocurrencies do have an essential role, especially if these projects present actual solutions for the current needs of the digital economy. When a cryptocurrency is backed up with strong emanation and technology, its future will look even better because people interested in its future will consider investing in it.

However, public trust cannot be taken lightly in the accomplishment of the objectives of the case. Cryptocurrencies are the digital currencies that rely solely on the willingness of particular individuals to accept them as payment or investment instruments. People believe that the more they will put their values to the project, the more stable it will be, though they do not possess an actual backing of a large project. But regulation also give us, as users more security, so cryptocurrencies can develop clear and secured which will have positive effect on it’s stability and increase of it’s value in the future.

In my opinion, the trust and support of the community is the key to success - and if you add decentralization to that, then it is completely clear why so many people invest in Bitcoin. Of course, there are also some altcoins that have become popular over time, but honestly, I personally do not like any project that has unlimited or undetermined supply, because that would just be a bad copy of the classic fiat currency.

There is something in that as well, but the more regulation (even if it was meaningful in a way) actually puts cryptocurrencies in a regulatory framework that diminishes their true purpose over time. However, the choice is very simple, either you will agree to the rules of the game or you will be pushed to the margins and you will have to operate in the shadows.

A coin must gain the trust of people in order for it to grow in value because the adoption will increase. Community trust is also important for a coin to be successful because it shows that there is transparency. Making the project an open source also give others the opportunity to work on it which will increase the trust.

However, on the other hand, regulation also plays an important role in its intrinsic value

Not at all, because government regulations are done in their favor.

every person who wants to buy a coin in the market, provides their own intrinsic value in the orderbook which means the market price is already an intrinsic value of the coin. whatever a buyer price the coin, he gives the value as he please so its his intrinsic value.

but over time the value goes up since almost everyone is hodling and we can only bid higher.  if anything regulation can affect is pull the price down due to holders dumping.

IMO, I believe the user/community trust has a higher percentage of influencing the intrinsic value of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Taking Bitcoin as an example, it was introduced, and left to the community members to manage. Inorder word, a decentralized system was created, where the community had to put their trust, make decisions, and over time, it began to gain value. As more users contributes their trust to the system thereby making purchasing, the value continue to increase.

I also believe that developers and promoters contribute to the success of altcoins, but not to the same extent as user/community trust. If a project doesn’t gain a good number of users who trust it, I’m not sure it will do well.

As for government regulation, I'm not sure of where they stand, but they could contribute to some extent.

The community trust the utility (if there's one) and believe what the developers does with the project. Just like how we trust how Government print fiat and make us believe it has intrinsic value right?

The statement on regulation probably points more on the legitimacy. I think it is an external factor not contributing to the intrinsic value.

I'm also part of the group who believes that a crypto currency's value depends largely on user trust and community trust. Let's consider the example of Bitcoin, it wasn't high in value when few users adopted it and community was small back then but as soon as users and community grew the value of Bitcoin also got appreciated. I believe Bitcoin is still valuable only because of the community's trust and users trust not anything else. And, similarly all those coins that got community trust have grown in value. Many meme coins that aren't good at all but community trust those meme coins and they've gained a lot value because of that trust.

In most cases, regulation plays a significant role in driving the existence of a community or investor psychology... the government always holds great control over the direction of money with its policies that can be said to be official according to the world. So, price fluctuations are the result of everything that happens and it can be said that the intrinsic value of the related token is influenced by the government's regulations.

As you are aware, Regulation plays powerful role in determining investor actions and the overall market evolution. One interesting factor is the role which governmental rules bear towards the circulation of money and therefore the volatility of assets. It is important to be aware that token values are highly dependent on these decisions, and that means following legal changes carefully.

It's hard to give a complete answer about the true value of crypto, so let's keep it simple. For me, the current value of crypto is mainly driven by investor expectations, similar to gold and stocks.

In some countries, people use BTC to hedge against hyperinflation, but this also stems from their belief in BTC value: its widespread acceptance and accessibility. However, most investors buy BTC because they believe its value will increase over time, giving them financial gains.

To support these high expectations, BTC has a unique protocol, a decentralized and secure POW network, and it's the crypto king leading the market through many cycles. For other tokens, I'm not sure if they deserve their current market cap. They often get overvalued compared to what they actually do for users.

the overvalue of tokens only happen in the bull run. the FOMO adds the value but most off us enjoys it because we profit from it. but once the market is already overbought and traders see that it may just pop any moment, everybody sells.

when the market hits the bottom then we are back to its real value. and then people are once again waits for the market to be oversold because the cycle is to be taken advantage again. it depends on how much are investors going to invest  but the intrinsic value is once again is to be looked at.

User trust and community trust do not come from nowhere and cannot be acquired for a long period without the project having value or influence, as media campaigns can pump the currency or give it value, but its ability to influence or the new thing it may bring about is what makes that value last for a long period. Without a revolutionary idea or real change, the cryptocurrency will not be valuable as a long-term investment.
