In a nutshell: If we play monopoly, its just a bunch of worthless paper. But if you step on my hotel and you cannot pay me, let's suppose I tell you, ok give me an apple and we are even. So in the next round you can tell me that you earned some money and that you want your apple back and you will give me some money for it. Now this is not worthless paper anymore, we have given it some value and we can trade for it. Same thing is with Crypto, only the technology of creating is different.
