The first such basal value is that which is indispensable: life. You don't assign value to life in comparison to anything else. It serves as the basis of all derivative values.
Yes, but that doesn't mean that life is inherently valuable, it just means that you have no underlying value that grounds your valuing of life. Money has no inherent monetary value, it has it because we say it does.
