Also your numbers are nonsense. A bitcoin is currently worth $60,000. 10 years ago they were worth perhaps 0.1 cents each. I am pretty sure you could not find anyone who would agree that the gains made by bitcoin over the last decade could have been beaten by any other investment.

bitcoins are worthless

their nominal (aka imaginary) value is right now $60,000 dollars each, in real money

if btc could not be traded in fiat currencies, which is the real goal of every btc investor, their value would drop again to zero

because that's their real (aka physical) value
