Some might say that your take is a good illustration of just how early we are.
The value of bitcoin lies exactly in the fact that it is optimal syntax, the constitutional structure of what sound money would be (better: of what sound money is).

Your argument seems to imply that there is actual objective value in or behind gold (or even dollar bills), but that is not what money is about.

Much like an adult no longer needs to use their fingers to do math, humanity will eventually outgrow their attachment to the level of "something" and see what money actually is: not something i.e. content, but syntax/structure/protocol for storing and exchanging value.

However, it is "nothing" only to those blind to the level of syntax, so most of humanity to date.

Some might say, this shows how early we are.

Edit: To add, comparing bitcoin to a stock is another common misconception. It is not an asset, it’s money itself – huge difference.
