Isn't this the same thing as saying "if everyone just agrees that a dollar bill is actually just a piece of paper, USD becomes worthless"? Albeit at a smaller scale

I don't think it is the same thing. Everyone agrees that mining the next block is valuable.

  • Unless they didn’t.

    There’s nothing inherently valuable about crypto beyond what value people assign to it in their minds.
