I see what you mean here, I see what you are trying to figure out.
You think some "resource" needs to be transferred, but you want this "resource" to be made of some atoms. Or, at least that's what I think you meant.
There are material resources: computers, their wiring, the electricity that make them run are made of atoms, electrons, and charges that flow through the wires. These material resources help computers, the internet, and bitcoin to function in a timely manner, but they aren't necessary for the internet or bitcoin to function. What you are missing, and can't seem to understand is that the "resource" incorporated in a bitcoin transaction is actually "informational". It is wrapped up in its cryptography, in the
mathematics that allow it to work.
There is value in understanding the following knowledge: 1+1=2. If you can't understand why that type of knowledge is valuable, then you will never understand why exchanging bitcoins for products across the globe can have value.
Hahahahaha
You seem to be getting at some of the crux of Snowshow's apparent difficulties to engage in abstract thinking.. so in that regard, he apparently is not having an easy time to assign value to anything that is not physically graspable.. ..
Many kids cannot really engage in abstract thinking before they are 5 years old or so, and surely, abstract thinking is not an absolute, but instead something that likely builds in the sense that some kids will be capable of abstract thinking sooner than others, and surely some adults have a lot of difficulties with abstract thinking..
You highlight something I had been noticing. My comments seem to be getting simpler and simpler, as though I was being forced to remove the layers of abstraction. It is as though I was molding my comments so that any small child could understand it. But even this type of simplification has not sufficed, which leads to the next comment, that Snowshow is just being intentionally obtuse.
Surely Snowshow is not completely devoid of abstract thinking, but instead he seems to ONLY be selectively applying it...... and so maybe one of the ONLY services that Snowshow happens to be providing here is a springboard for several of us to continuously illustrate the various ways that he is a purposeful dumbfuck regarding various bitcoin basics - and the same is true when he might apply some abstract principles (or do we call it pure faith and belief) to the powers and workability to various fiat systems, while at the same time failing/refusing to appreciate that bitcoin is even less abstract and fantastical than the many belief and faith hoops that have to be achieved if believing in fiat systems... in that regard, bitcoin reveals itself as such a concrete kind of system in which ongoingly verifying of the ledger contributes towards the recognition (for those able to see it) that bitcoin is the most grounded of value systems (thus soundest of monies).. so in that sense less abstract than fiat systems.
Here we thought that some interesting idea about bitcoin was being laid out in the OP, but rather this thread has become a study in the mental gymnastics of a ... fill in the blank.
