A value stock means it's undervalued compared to its fundamentals or "cheap". It has nothing to do whether or not the company pays dividends.
The difference to garbage like crypto-tokens is that there actually are fundamentals - a profitable company you're buying a share of and for a cheap price. Of course there's risk involved but you are likely to profit from this.
Much more likely anyway than any crypto-token gamble because there's no value underneath, only wasted energy; and yes, also with PoS or whatever - it's all inefficient compared to a conventional database behind the firewall of a trustworthy organization. Your trustlessness rethoric is the actual lie behind this huge scam.
