The intrinsic value of bitcoin is that it can be sent to anybody anywhere in the world without a financial intermediary. That has considerable utility if you do not have access to a financial...
Looks like my results are in earlier than I thought. I've added some sheets here (200 billion round index chart + full EV data across all upcard/hand/tc combinations):...
