It's better to talk about what makes things valuable. If you go back to what makes gold valuable it's what makes crypto valuable too.
Charlie: One of the things that makes crypto valuable is that it can't be censored. You yourself own, and you decide what you do with your money and that is something that didn't previously exist(to the people getting triggered, if you send or dispense over 10k, there will be questioned asked about WHY you need that much money, crypto does not). Second is that is global, there are no boundaries to crypto, you can't just send someone an ounce of gold in China.
