Sharers are not intended to be eaten but to prove the ownership of capital. Bitcoin proves the ownership of numbers. That's the point.

Neither is Bitcoin intended to be observed in your screen. Also, both are capital if two individuals say so.

You gave up things you can live off of, or you give up membership in banking system that ensures you get such things back, only to be members of the system where you hold numbers.

I think I was clear enough when I implied that I don't trust the banking system for living. That I trust something which promotes principles proportional to my character, such as free speech, freedom of choice and free markets. Understand that people may have different socio-political beliefs.

After that you are the owner of a number "19,000,000". Let's assume no one in the market is interested in buying these numbers any more. What can you do with "19,000,000?

Let's assume you're the owner of a number $40,000,000,000. But, no one wants those anymore, because the socio-political regime is overthrown. What can you do with $40,000,000,000, which can be inflated anytime by the way in contrast with your 19,000,000 BTC.

If we're going to take completely hypothetical scenarios, be my guest.

Number $40,000,000,000 is not created by a regime, but by the banking system, via granting loans and protecting them with the collaterals of the borrowers. So, if no one on the market wants those numbers anymore, borrowers are forced to use them. Otherwise the banking system will seize their collaterals and trade it with me, given banks are liable to liquidate the open loans.
