There is no such thing as inherent Value.
Nothing has inherent Value. Value as a whole is a closed system, for there is only a set amount of money. (if we could always make more money inflation would not exist, but it does. a penny costs over $0.025 to make. Yet it's "value" is $0.01, and figuring for inflation, a penny in 1960 is equivalent to $.26 today.)
Value is ever shifting, ever changing. When one thing is valued higher than usual, something else is devalued. Remember when people were paying hundreds of $$ for Beanie babies? Now they are worthless like Pet Rocks, only fit for nostalgia.
The same goes for EVERYTHING.
People thought Bach was boring and nearly valueless until Gould recorded the great Master, and as of today, Bach is now the most played, mopst recorded classical composer. In 100-200-300 years he will go back to being worthless.
In other words, FUCK YOUR iPHONE
