You seem to have missed the point of this whole discussion. There's no money in the Bitcoin system. People in the Bitcoin system have numbers that count nothing. Empty numeric units. Money is numbers that count something. For instance, you mined gold or created debt and then you use numbers to count or represent those items. In the Bitcoin system the guy came up with the number 21 million and via his protocol simply assigns units of that number to addresses. Nothing is counted, nothing represented with numbers. It's literally like monopoly money - just digits on the medium.

Oh wow, you finally getting the hang of it! A whole new kind of money, right? Like Monopoly money, only... not worthless and infinitely reproducible? And here I thought Bitcoin was some kind of elaborate social experiment. But hey, at least you're finally grasping the basic concept. Slow clap for you.

Don't you get tired of playing dumb? If I take a piece of paper, put the digit "1" on it and someone pays $70.000 for that paper, that's not value but price. Value can only be assigned to something actual - gold, debt, liability to redeem, picture, company, computer program, patent, etc. In the Bitcoin system you have nothing actual. Only digits are put on the electronic medium and that's all what you have when you "bought Bitcoin". It's iterally like having Monopoly money. And of course, digits are infinitely reproducible. Look, 1356367885433.... i can do that until the cows come home. It's hilarious how a guy set a system to sell you digits, you bought them, and now you're forced to play dumb to hide the fact that you participate in the dumbest invention in human history.
