Wrong. The 511 BTC of data have ZERO value. So, it is NOT greater than 1000 dollars. It is ZERO dollars. It only becomes dollars when it is traded to an exchange. Come on now. You are more intelligent then that.
Stop it B. Stop it.
Meh, I'm pretty sure 'value' is irrelevent before the fact its 'property' (parts of data). Once its property, all the judge is gonna ask is 'whats it worth?'.
I've seen plenty of Judge Judy to know when someone steals a TV, even though its not currency, the courts can still estimate a value of what it'd be worth once it was converted to currency. And then you pay that.
lol another TERRIBLE analogy. The TV is not 'digital data' - the TV is worth something. You do not have to take a TV to an exchange and trade it for currency. It already has worth.
Anyways, again, I am talking to my lawyer right now.
