There are colossal assets backing the value of the shares:
1. Current profits & dividends.
2. Massive network of equipment and cables.
3. Market share.
How low can AT&T's price go?
So long as it is making profits and paying dividends, its price CANNOT go below the current value of expected dividends discounted for the future.

AT&T has been paying a quarterly dividend of $0.2775 per share for many years (adjusted for stock splits).
https://www.calculator.net/present-value-calculator.html
Over ten years at a quarterly dividend of $0.2775, the Present Value: $4.76
Hence, it is highly likely that (assuming current conditions continue), any rational person would pay $4.76 for a share.
Now, what assets back crypto-currency? NOTHING? What percent return on investment does crypto-currency pay? ZERO. Hence, its present value is exactly ZERO. Any non-zero value is due to PURE SPECULATION.
