Internet is used by nodes to store fake numbers. Without the internet there wouldn't be bitcoin fraud.
I didn't ask you to tell me what is Internet compared to Bitcoin. I asked you to tell me how can you prove that Internet exists? If you can accept the fact that Internet is used for two computers to communicate, then Bitcoin's proof of existence is the fact that it is used to trade.
Internet is computers and communication protocols. Those exist. Bitcoin is not "used" given it doesn't exist. Numbers are attached to address by Satoshi's system. Attaching numbers is a proof that numbers are attached. Attaching letters is proof that letters are attached. Attaching a picture to a email message is proof that a picture is attached. No bitcoins magically emerge by attaching one thing to another. You believe in some sort of alchemy. Try to use your brains for a second instead of repeating the same nonsense over and over again.
The Internet exists. Okay, I agree. But does the DNS protocol exist? It is also just a collection of numbers attached to addresses by your definition. Denying the use of Bitcoin is the same as denying the use of DNS. Could you please show me the DNS? No? You can't see it, hear it, or touch it, yet it exists and billions of people use it every day.
So, how much do you pay for using DNS protocols? And how much do you pay for attaching the number "10" to your crypto address in Satoshi's system? Do you now understand the true meaning of the phrase: "Your level of your ignorance is astounding."?
You are not storing or moving value, but numbers. A number is a concept on quantity of things. A thing is value, not a number. If there's a number "10", next to your name or address, this is suggesting that there are 10 pieces of a thing in your possession. But if the thing is not in your possession, the number is fake. And that's exactly the case with bitcoin. There's no such thing as bitcoin in the possession of an address holder which has a specific number attached to their address. So, blockchain is just a giant collection of fake numbers. And bitcoin cannot be value by definition, given it doesn't exist.
This is where you're wrong: in Bitcoin there are two 'numbers': (1) the number telling how many coins you own, which is like the number of USD on your bank account, sure that's just a number. But you have number (2) which is a cryptographic key that grants you ownership rights to a certain amount of Bitcoin. This second number would be the 'ounce of gold' sitting in your safe, for instance, while the first one is the valuation that someone gives it.
As someone said before, if Bitcoin is just numbers and it's so easy to generate them, why don't you generate such a number (private key) and sell it for hundreds of thousands of dollars?
It's not possible because a randomly generated number has no value; only those which have Bitcoin sent to them, originating from a coinbase transaction which you can only do by expending large amounts of energy using mining hardware that costs large amounts of $ to buy and install.
Saying or writing down that you own 5 ounces of gold, means you're able to show an actual metal in your possession. Otherwise you're lying. Whan you say that you own 5 bitcoins, or this is written down in your wallet, but you're not able to show a digital product in the quantity of 5, that means you're lying and that the wallet has fake numbers.
It's hard for you to understand since you're so engrained in the traditional banking system and assume Bitcoin works the same way. While your bank account just tells you the number of something you own, the Bitcoin blockchain doesn't. The 'thing you own'
is on the blockchain; hence it doesn't and can't 'point to something in your possession'.
When I go to a web site or install the wallet app to get a cryptographic key, and "0" is attached to my address, suggesting I own 0 coins, how that differs from a guy that has 1,000,000 attached? We both have zero property to show. There's no difference in ownership between us. If you were to ask that guy to prove that he actually owns million coins he wouldn't be able to show something that I am not able to show. We both have numbers attached, but own no bitcoins. No coins. No money. No property. Nothing. It's like if a system would write down that I have 0 Porsches and that guy have 10 Porsches. None of us would be able to show Porsches. So, one can attach whatever number to whatever name. That literally means nothing.
A randomly generated number is still a number. It's not a cat. A randomly generated Ferrari would still be a Ferrari. It doesn't matter how you generate something. If I work 10 hours a day for a year and get the same amount of money as someone who win a lottery that doesn't mean my money is more valuable.
