> Bitcoin and friends are not operating in a rational market
Have you considered the possibility that your personal model (which you presumably describe as rational) is just insufficiently complete to accurately model bitcoin? I think bitcoin is perfectly rational. A lot of people confuse things like impredicativity (e.g. in the pricing of monetized goods) with irrationality, but this is just a limitation of their mental model.
