We can create gfycoin and it would be exactly the same thing. Of course it would hold less value because less people would demand it. Still actual value = 0 because play money holds no actual value.

"Actual value" is not an accurate expression to use in discussing currency. Money is not something with intrinsic value. All money is valued based on some form of social consensus.
