How Is the Concept of Intrinsic Value Similar to the Net Profit from a Successful Block Reward?

Intrinsic value is similar to the net profit from a successful block reward in that both represent an immediate, tangible financial gain. Intrinsic value is the immediate profit if the option is exercised.

Net profit from a block reward is the total reward (subsidy + fees) minus the operational costs (electricity, pool fees). Both are measures of current, realized value: the option's value relative to the strike, and the block's value relative to the cost of mining.
