What does the intrinsic value of crypto depend on?

[bitcoin-shark]

The intrinsic value of a crypto, of an altcoin in my opinion is given by the solidity of the project behind it, if it will have a long duration over time and possible commercial outlets, rather than regulation i would look at the reputation of the team that proposes it

Yes, there is a lot of disagreement about the intrinsic value of cryptocurrency as the vision differs depending on each person's perspective on the features they prefer or care about. For me, there are many things that determine the value of cryptocurrency, but the most important thing is the solutions it provides and the real need for use.

For example, Bitcoin emerged to provide peer-to-peer payment solutions without the need for a third party with unique features such as decentralization and privacy, which is what made Bitcoin truly valuable. This is how we should look at other currencies.

Well, The variable value can also depend upon such characteristics as the features and solutions presented to the actual requirements in society. It may seem paradoxical but knowing that each digital asset has vision and role to play, and therefore serve a clear and practical purpose can make it all the more valuable in our eyes.

For instance, Bitcoin is not only virtual or digital currency but it also has the primary utilitarian goal of functioning as a secure tool for making payments. Breaking it down to individual cryptocurrencies and understanding their roles in terms of meeting specific needs can help us be more prudent and make better use, or appreciate these tokens.

The value of crypto currencies is something that allot of persons are concerned about as to know which Blockchain to mine or make investment, there are different factors that can affect the the value of a particular block chain these factors include
__ white paper
Every crypto currency project contain what is called the white paper, the white paper is a very important documents that gives a detailed information about the crypto currency as it contains information like the features, goals, products and the parameters upon which the crypto currency has its value so people participating in a crypto project will have foreknowledge of what the coin holds, the white paper give a technical information about the design of the crypto currency
___Road map
Every crypto currency has a roadmap that is outlined as the road give the steps by step strategic vision of the coin, road map is very key when thinking of making investment in the crypto market as it's roadmap that spell's out the future goals and the expected outcome of a particular Blockchain and it gives the direction that the crypto currency is likely to go

The change in value is not a problem, this is normal because any price of any currency depends on supply and demand and therefore it can decrease or increase at certain times according to market variables.

Unfortunately, what is happening now is that there are no longer currency projects that have real value, most of them aim for quick profit and then the project is forgotten once it is listed on the exchanges, in addition to meme coins that do not have a project at all, but despite that, some of them have great value and quantities are purchased for millions of dollars.

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.

Exactly,investors sentiments influence the market heavily.before you see coins doing or performing well in the market the trust of investors should be gained,this goes in line with all bussiness whatsoever similar also with cryptocurrencies.You see bitcoin doing well on the market today is because investors trust have been earned,when people invest in these coins,they even with a certain trust that this investments woyld do well,i mean if you make the right choices in investment right.
However,there are still some factors that also decide the intrinsic value of crypto also,such as regulations i.e govermment interference.
  Also, store of value also decides the intrinsic value of crypto basically.it simply means the ability of crypto to maintain its worth over time.This also decides the intrinsic value along with alot more.

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

Lets just say that every one of this things you said or mentioned, does play an important role in determining what the intrinsic price of a crypto asset is and will be, it's no rocket science yeah.

For we can't actually say that the success of a project alone determines what the price of their associated crypto asset will be, because I believe that not just me, but us all have seen or come across projects that have no product and utilities for their associated crypto asset, yet the asset is worth billions of dollars in market cap, a good example of this is some meme coins.

While on the other hand, there are projects with good products and potential utilities for their crypto asset, yet the asset is worth almost nothing.

So, community, trust and believe, products and utilities, achievements etc, all play a role in giving a crypto asset its intrinsic value.

[0t3p0t]

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.

I agree and I think one significant factor why it gains support and trust from the community and investors is the use case of a specific cryptocurrency. We always question what it can offer in the long run and I think that what makes us stick to the idea of it.

The price of a crypto or altcoin is largely dependent on the strength of the project behind it most especially when the project appears to have long-term sustainability and obvious commercial viability. This gives a good account of what intrinsic value entails which is far much different from mere regulatory considerations.

Another aspect, which focuses on reputation and competence of the team, working on project, is a key to evaluation of its further development. The crypto is more reliable and has a better outlook if the project is well supported by the right team no matter the changing market situations.

achievement... I just realized that, and I think there is some truth to this achievement... but for some reason, news from big media is still the most annoying doctrine because it almost always succeeds in influencing community movements and beliefs... But big media only influences behavior, not making it something that cryptocurrency has lasting 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.

Yes, I think that you could express a best comment in this post. I am also agree with your comment. I think that intrinsic value of cryptocurrency also depending on It's market level and popularity of this crypto. Because if we follow in cryptocurrency market and also follow in profitable crypto, we can see that its popularity could be spread in all cryptocurrency market. When a crypto was achieve popularity, then everyone will be expect to hold or invest in this crypto. I think that it’s the best way to select value of cryptocurrency.

Well.....
Firstly,I think investors sentiment is one of the most important factors that the intrinsic value of crypto depends on.When a coin is highly speculated about you see the demand for that articular coin drives up.
I also think governmental factors also determine the intrinsic value of crypto.basically cause government regulations often affect the crypto market,i.e whether the regulations of the country goes in line in accepting cryptocurrencies,cause if it doesn't you see government lifting bans which would basically withdraw investors that are situated in that country.

Crypto is actually created to be used as trustless payment but yeah the value of crypto depends on the utility as well as the trust from the community because that is the one that leads to the supply and demand and price/value and so on.

Apart from that the decentralization and security of funds adds the value to the crypto which doesn't related with the text book definition but as layman we can understand that how and why the crypto currency is valued.

The popularity of crypto will determine the demand for the crypto, if many people buy and hold the coin, the price will likely increase because the higher the demand, the higher the price of the coin. So popularity is a determinant of the demand for a coin and will have an impact on the price of the coin.

Maybe I'm old school but whenever someone asks how to determine the intrinsic value of a coin I always think about how secure the network is. I think it makes sense, especially when you're using a PoW-based coin. If the value of one coin is less than the value to secure the network, then its value would be lower. For example, you could argue Bitcoin is expensive because the cost to mine new blocks is so high, which in turn secures the network and encourages miners to keep doing that.

Not sure how you can apply that to PoS based network, since there are differences in how validators/miners earn their rewards. But I believe an unstable network regardless of who launched it won't last long. Maybe Solana is an exception because they are one of the first to be popular. I doubt they'll have much value if the network is unstable unless the company behind it can burn money to keep pumping the token. CMIIW.
