So in your opinion, it's not a fraud until it's converted into "real" currency?

In other words, crypto isn't real money. And by extension, selling people "fake" money is called what?

Satoshi (as in, the genesis wallet) doesn't sell Bitcoin.

Huh?

I mostly mean "sell" as in "market".

If the Satoshi wallet is sold off when the coin is already a million each, what does that prove about that wallet's intentions?

I just don't see the connection...if they were doing daily pontificating on social media, signing messages with genesis wallet keys, I could understand directing the hate there.

As it stands, just confused.
