Bitcoin are created and live on the blockchain.

If you invent Bitcoin out of thin air in your MySQL database, you can't transfer them to another Bitcoin address because they don't exist on the blockchain. How are people in these comments say "yes it's possible"?

It is not. That's the bloody point of Bitcoin that these kind of monetary games are impossible (meaning extremely hard and energy intensive to be considered impossible with current technology).

Financial institutions and L2s will have their own pseudo-BTC tokens that can be settled out to the original BTC chain only sometimes.
