I don't understand what you are trying to say.

Why does anything have value? Ultimately because we can use them to get something we need or want. For the former, there is some sense in trying to reach an objective definition of value. The latter is inherently subjective. Some things are valuable to some people, because those people find those things valuable. That circular definition is the root of subjective value that cannot be reduced any further.
