Bitcoin has value because it is like gold in the internet. It is also mined and people buy an expensive equipment to mined them and it is limited in supply. Since it is limited, it becomes really precious and the price of it depends on the demand from the people.

In my opinion, BTC has value to the extent that it has an interest in it. If people stop looking for it, then it will be worthless. That's just about everything we trade with. Even with the money that we use.  Huh

Is jewelry valuable because it's made of gold, or is gold valuable because you can use it to make jewelry?
You could make a necklace from copper, but it wouldn't be as valuable as the gold necklace because gold is scarce.

Bitcoin has value because of its demand by people, by its popularity and how people persevered its advantages and benefits that it would bring to its users, holders and even its enthusiast. For me, the value of any commodity always depend on the principles of demand and supply.

I don't think that blockchain can be hacked EVER. The way it was designed states that you should have more than 51% of mining power in order for your "truth" to be accepted by the rest of the network and become the "ultimate truth". The raw power needed for that 51% is insane.

It looks insane, but I wouldn't even be surprised to find out that the Jihan cartel already accounts for more than 51% of the network's hashing power. It won't however be abused since the damage you inflict on Bitcoin will be 100 times worse than what you will gain from it. It's already a costly process to initiate whatever malicious attack, but if you add the damage on top of it, no one will do this.

Jihan might be a prick, but he's not that stupid to jeopardize his entire operations worth billions every year. I am however thankful for Samsung and Intel to enter the mining space and to cut through Bitmain's dominant position. It was about time for that part of the market to become less centralized. Bitmain's dominance will be over eventually, that I am sure of. Competition in this space is more than welcome.

It has. BITCOIN still has over 37% of the total coin market cap but we never know in the future if all other crypto currencies will get unpegged from Bitcoin because if Bitcoin loses dominance in the market then something like Bitcoin cash takes over then we are in a bit of a problem. I do hope Bitcoin prevails over Bitcoin cash because the Bitcoin cash developers were greedy, so not sure if it is a good thing what is happening right now because of Bitcoin all the other altcoins are down for the last five months as well which has hurt a lot of investors and the crypto market in general, not bringing confidence into this young financial market. Only time will tell of course if we can see Bitcoin reign supreme again.

It does has value because it is money in the form of digital, it is listed in the coin market and that makes it legit and controlled by demands and supply in the market.

-I think It is popular. many people accept and trade in Bitcoin because It is recognized and accepted as a currency by many.
-Bitcoin is decentralized and limited. This is a major factor for many Bitcoin users. Bitcoin is hard for governments to trace and tax
-Bitcoin acts like an equity investment. The market value of Bitcoins has had wild swings in value and even a market cap.
-Bitcoin is a social network. The Bitcoin "community" is active and acts like other online social networks.
-There are only 21 million bits so it has the same value as gold.
everything you say is true that everything is worth it because the investors have a big influence on bitcoin interest and trust in investments with bitcoin
it is true, the most influence is the investors, because the investor has given their property for capital in a project first.

i think bitcoin has a great value because its supply is limited.
The limited supply means the greater value.
The more demands, and limitied supply = great value more.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency with nits corresponding value depending on the market the reason makes it with value because it is invested with actual money.

Bitcoin = Financial freedom

And yes, there is a limited number of BTC @ 21M. But what gives it value as a digital currency is that no one has been able to hack the blockchain yet. It is a well thought out protocol which eliminated the double spending problem.

I don't think that blockchain can be hacked EVER. The way it was designed states that you should have more than 51% of mining power in order for your "truth" to be accepted by the rest of the network and become the "ultimate truth". The raw power needed for that 51% is insane.

I think the main reason for the Development of the value in the bitcoin is demand and popularity but in sometimes why the value is going down because of the increase of sellers.

Yes the value is because of the benefits and uses it offers.  You will not find features like anonymity with other payment systems.
