Your post is amazing.

Almost everything you wrote is silly. Except somehow, some way, you understood what few people realize, that Nakamoto's system does nothing more than transfer integer numbers from one long string of letters/numbers (public address) to another. These integer numbers today are called Satoshis (in honor of), and the white paper does not mention the word bitcoin at all. The word "bitcoin" (when used used to represent the system's native token) is just a representation of an amount of satoshis, one bitcoin = 100.000.000 satoshis. You are correct in your assessment that all that is happening is that regular plain old integer numbers (satoshis) are being  rearranged.

How you were able to understand this, and not understand anything else about how bitcoin (the network) operates, or how the system's protocol works, or how it can be used as an electronic payment system, or the implications this could have to the future of finance in this world, or why it is accruing value over time, is just mind blowing.
I agree, truth can be silly to those that deny it. Regarding the rest, in my post I am describing asset redistribution scheme, not the system which is used to access it.
