USD had value in that it is how i pay my taxes. I can either use USD to pay taxes or go to jail. That's about as concrete as value can get.
Yes, the value comes from ADOPTION.
So, you're claiming that you need a constant new stream of people buying into it, to make it work? Man, that's almost like the definition of a ponzi scheme. Weird.
