> If Google stock were really worthless, someone could buy all of it for pennies

Nobody is disputing that it has market value. My argument is that it has much less intrinsic value than some people would like to believe.

> A single Google share isn’t really worth anything on its own. But its value is tied to the collective value of _all_ Google shares, which _are_ worth something.

Not really, unless there's some non-zero chance that Alphabet will be bought out. By my understanding, that chance is pretty close to zero. Am I wrong?
