Bitcoin doesn't exist.

Except it demonstrably does. It can be redeemed for real-world goods and services. There's a network of physical devices around the world to relay transactions. People have founded companies which exist solely to cater to this new economy. Real, tangible bricks-and-mortar establishments. Other forms of physical infrastructure exist to support it, like a dedicated satellite network. It doesn't get more real than this.

But if you are continuing to be willfully ignorant to the obvious, I refer you back to my previous points:

Those who are blind to opportunities are unable to seize upon them.

We gain the benefits of:

Censorship resistance,
Financial autonomy,
Monetary sovereignty,
Freedom.
(...)
And as the icing on the cake, a hedge against inflation and a distinct likelihood of increased purchasing power later down the road.

And you don't gain those benefits. Sucks to be you.

I never get tired of debunking mythology.

Attaching a number to a name is not redeeming. Redeeming means settling debt owed to financial instrument holder. That what you call "redeeming" is new victim entering into a fraud where fake numbers will be attached to their name. (address). As you can see, there's no bitcoin in this process.

The network of physical devices around the world just keep fake numbers stored. Again, there's no bitcoin in this process.

So, I am not ignorant of people and infrastructure attaching and storing fake numbers. I am just telling you that bitcoin doesn't exist.

Censorship resistance, financial autonomy, monetary sovereignty, freedom... are concepts. Again, there's no bitcoin in these concepts.
