In the context of emerging post GFC, and 'Greenspans put' Bitcoin has the inherent value of being the first ever fungible commodity with a strictly limited total volume of issuance.

What's the commodity exactly? It's kind of self-referential, isn't it?

In the case of Bitcoin, I guess the commodity is the exclusive encrypted ability to transfer the tokens held at a specific address on the blockchain? Like all money Bitcoin is an entirely human construct...in the case of Bitcoin, only existing within/upon the human construct of the blockchain. So the inherent value is sourced in the right to transfer the right to transfer on the blockchain. Yes rather circular!
