According to @FarsideUK, Bitcoin’s intrinsic value stems from enabling peer-to-peer electronic payments without reliance on a credit relationship with a financial intermediary, countering HLInvest’s stance that Bitcoin has no intrinsic value (source: Farside Investors on X, Oct 10, 2025; Hargreaves Lansdown crypto statement on hl.co.uk). This core function is explicitly defined in the Bitcoin whitepaper as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, providing a non-intermediated settlement mechanism that market participants can incorporate into valuation frameworks and trading theses (source: Bitcoin Whitepaper by Satoshi Nakamoto, 2008; Farside Investors on X, Oct 10, 2025). Farside’s post directs attention to HLInvest’s published crypto statement for UK clients, which frames how the asset class is presented to retail investors and is relevant context when assessing access routes and risk disclosures around BTC exposure (source: Farside Investors on X, Oct 10, 2025; Hargreaves Lansdown crypto statement on hl.co.uk).
