I love how you compare Bitcoin to SMS.

I could send an SMS to a number, and anyone could be reading it, and I could even have no control over whether or not the message is seen by others, or even delivered.

When you send Bitcoin to someone, you actually sign over ownership of that data. I send you 1 BTC I actually authorise to transfer ownership of that 1 BTC from me to you. And I know only you get it, only you can access it (unless you shared your access or you use someone else's access).

Yeah, and you are still talking about numbers. There are no ownership rights on numbers. When you calculate 1+1 you're using numbers and you are not required to pay something to someone. Nobody owns numbers. Nor you need someone to secure them given you can create them in an instant when you need them. You people are spending money on something that you literally can create in whatever amount whenever you want. But hey, it's a free world. You can do with your money whatever you want. If you want to purchase numbers, go for it.

So you agree with all my points. And then you proceed to be really silly about it. Of course there are no ownership rights on numbers. Or on paper, which deeds are written on. "You want to pay for numbers" is as accurate as saying "you want to pay for tree pulp" or "water".

I am not purchasing any numbers, by the way, I am getting paid by people with these "numbers" as you call it and selling it to people who clearly see value in it, and at the end of the day, we all assign value or accept value assigned by others. Tree pulp, numbers, seashells, earth metals.

You, me, we all pay for "numbers" when we go online and send these posts. Bits or bytes, or 0s and 1s.

If it really is as you say, why not go and create your own numbers in an instant then and spread it and show us you can do it. 1000s of shitcoins prove your statement wrong.

You are ignoring facts again, like everyone else here. To stop all this ignorance I will ask you one simple question: what did you purchase if the only thing that happened in your bitcoin address is swap of mathematical symbols? Symbol "0" changed into symbol "1". So, what did you purchase?
