valuable
When used as an adjective, "valuable" can refer to money (price) or importance (usefulness). For example, a diamond is valuable because of its cost, but a good friend is valuable because of their support. When used as a noun, it is almost always plural ("valuables"). This refers to small, expensive personal items like jewelry or passports that you might keep in a safe.

Just read this whitepaper. This new token is actually valuable.
Maya
Stop trying to sell me on this. You're just chasing ghosts.

Jackson uses 'valuable' to insist his crypto asset has real worth, while Maya dismisses him using the idiom 'chasing ghosts', meaning pursuing something that doesn't exist or is an illusion.
