Re: “According to Warren Buffett, the most influential investor in the world, the answer to this question would be: not much.”
Hey! That's the exact same response he gave in the 1980s when he was asked what he thought of MSFT! For that matter, he saw no value in ANY technology company. He admitted at the time that he just didn't have a head for that sort of thing.

I'd guess it to be the same with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin's value is largely the same as for the dollar, the yen, the mark, the peso, and every other currency. It's a medium of exchange. It has a disadvantage over those currencies in that it is often harder to find places that will accept it. But it has an advantage over them in that it is difficult to counterfeit [theoretically anyway, but I'm no expert.] In this age when every nation is counterfeiting its currency at breakneck speed, I'd consider the security of a good digital currency to be quite valuable.

Zim > “And, I look at bitcoin as being more 'Fiat' than any other currency on the planet.”

Yes.
And, I was corrected. It also seems some countries are accepting BitCoin as legal tender.

What is the real value of a bitcoin?

One of the hot questions regarding the bitcoin since the first ones were created in January 2009 is its real value. According to Warren Buffett, the most influential investor in the world, the answer to this question would be: not much.

We will try as well to answer to this question using two concepts in economics and finance: minimal (or residual) value and Ponzi schemes. The minimal value approach is a prudent approach. Under this approach we would like to know what value remains when everything goes wrong as in cases of market disruption or economic crisis.

Value as a currency or value as an investment?
