Those are your fantasies, not my claims. My claim is pretty simple: there's no digital resource or asset called bitcoin in the bitcoin system. I gave pretty simple experiment in the OP to demonstrate that. You all completely ignore the topic at hand and just engage in ad hominem attacks. The most common is this" "You don't understand bitcoin...".

So, there's nothing for me to address. Your opinions on me are not the topic here.
You changed your claims multiple times, you tried everything you can, but all of it got disproven. And then you just come up with another claim. And now your last resort is calling people cultists again, but if you understood how decentralized Bitcoin is this doesn’t even make sense and just shows that you indeed have no clue what’s going on. And nah people don’t read from the same book, they verify individually, people here are not even linked to each other. We don’t even know each other or have ever talked with each other before. Just verify everything individually, that is the only way to get it. You won’t get around education to understand Bitcoin, that’s the real problem here for the haters. Because they’re unable or lazy to do it. But it’s positive for Bitcoin as it keeps the people out, that just won’t take the time study it, naturally. So we will reach higher quality results in the end, as you can’t fake your way in.

tadamichi, you just described, in a way, how science progresses.  That is, it's individual scientists verifying experiments done by others, others that they may not know. They are all trying to decipher, unravel a great mystery that is an ultimate truth.  The final truth of how the universe works is unknown, we only know a tiny bit that has been unraveled by experiments and observations.  This is how our understanding of the universe advances.

And, like you state, the process keeps those out that have a poorer understanding of science, since they would be unable to reproduce those same experiments, since "you can't fake your way in".

For the case of bitcoins it is a bit easier.  Bitcoin's final truth is somewhat known since the source code is public for all to see.  And if it's too complicated to follow, to understand it in code form, many have written articles, books, to help explain it, like the white paper or the book: "Mastering Bitcoin" by Andreas Antonopoulos.

What is unknown about bitcoin is what will be done with it in the future, what other layers will be built on top of it.  (the lighting network is one example, so far)
