If bitcoin didnt have market value before July 2010, what does this mean? How could people buy it if it didnt have any market value then other than p2p, otc, and mining?
what kind of question is that? you are contradicting yourself and answering yourself at the same time.
bitcoin did have value, and the value was what others offered to pay or exchange for at the time.
so you can't say it had no market value, as you can't buy/sell/exchange something with no value, can you?
and OP, if you have any more questions, please just ask chatgpt.
