RE: Where does the money come from - Investors
I get asked this all the time too. It kind of surprises me that people can't figure it out. How does anything have a value? The most basic supply and demand princable that applies to everything lol
What confuses people is that other things have real value. You can actually eat an apple. You can drive a car. So, they expect cryptos to have such a basis for their value.
Except that currencies, in general (not only cryptos), don't have such a root value. To explain that to people, I usually use the $ Dollar example. I ask them where does the dollar get its value. Suddenly, they realize that not every thing needs a root value.

I am always surprised that most people do not understand supply and demand at all.
