Maybe seeing you’re argument as a template will have you recognize the weakness of your argument:

{{currency}} is a negative-sum game. You can only get out what others put in and {{entities}} continuously have to {{maintain infrastructure}}.

An actual argument could be derived from the last point by asking whether the cost of maintaining the infrastructure is worth it. This is something the market decides.



My argument was specific to the use case as speculative asset. Currencies usually have other uses.
