That's not the point. Average value gives you some baseline for conceptualizing something you normally aren't used to imaging at a scale. It's like using a basketball and a pin to show how big the sun and earth are, and placing them a scaled distance apart. Most people will fail miserably when they guess relative sizes of these things.

They are all scams. Whereas land is finite and there cannot be more land created vs crypto which can be infinitely created out of thin air. Saying bitcoins are rare is not different than saying beanie babies are rare. (although beanie babies are easier to counterfeit and less fungible, but the comparison holds)
All shitcoins are scams, yes. But there are reasons why one is worth more than another. Having something that is immutable without massive expense, one that no one is in control, globally distributed is better than say a random shitcoin I just made and hold myself.
Land is less finite than Bitcoin. More land is being created all the time. Skyscrapers create new "land" stacked on top of each other. Beanie babies do not cost anything to produce more of. Bitcoin cannot be inflated in supply.

LOL you are still falling for China FUD. For those of us who have been here since the start of this thread, hearing the same FUD over and over again is quite hilarious.
Have fun staying poor.
