 does meme coin has a value?  
 Sorry. Meme coins have no intrinsic value. 
 Bitcoin has no intrinsic value 
 this is true. all value is subjective 
 True, but meme coins like dogecoin started as a joke. 

Finding subjective value in dogecoin is like trying to make a living as a stand up comedian by asking, "Why did the chicken cross the road?" 
 Intrinsic value adds noise to pure price signal 
 some would say the market cost to produce would be a form of intrinsic value 
 Some would be wrong. All value is subjective. The amount of energy and depreciating capitol miners are willing to apply to generating bitcoin, plus a small margin, dictates the sale price of new coins. 
 i don't follow why subjective value and intrinsic value can't coexist in concept or perhaps I'm just confused on this thread
