The real answer is: It depends how you define value.
Can you make money with Bitcoin? Yes. Are you likely to make money? No Is the technology useful applicable? Yes Is it being used and applied ethically and for the good of people? No. Is it a 'store of value'? No, it's more like an extremely volatile stock or a lottery ticket. Can you use it like money? Yes Is there any reason to use it like money? Not really, not even among other cryptocurrencies.
Depending on which of these aspects of Bitcoin matter to you it will be more or valuable.
