yeah it's a market - the value is all over the place
but it's unlikely to be zero as it has real world uses. Or if the value does hit zero it has a chance of rising again. Unlike a bit of paper which when hyperinflation hits normally stays a valueless bit of paper.

I'm not arguing for the wonderfulness of a gold backed currency btw - I was just trying to explain to the original poster that I wasn't making a semantic point, but that there's a real meaning to the idea that money is a confidence trick, or a lie as someone had it.
