You are seemingly arguing that you have insider information that they are buying coins because you happen to know people 'with skin in the game.' That's a hard argument to buy with such a claim and no evidence. And don't get me wrong since I actually thought it was interesting that they would be buying the coins so I'm not even trying to disprove you. You're just not making a solid case. Second, referring to everyone else that buys coins as 'basement-dwelling kids' is pretty disingenuous and insulting. Middle class people have purchased them. Grandparents have purchased them. Average people have purchased them. Billionaires have purchased them. Snoop Dog, Ashton Kutcher, Gwyneth Paltrow, and many more celebs have purchased them. You have stated that you can't buy coins at that level (presumably the Fidelity level) the same way you would purchase them off Coinbase, but your example is that they're seeking out people who mined significant quantities of coins years ago. How did they find these people from a bitcoin address? What's the evidence of this? Why do these people have problems selling their coins on Coinbase? Your arguments about fake cryptocurriences basically boil down to other coins are not exactly Bitcoin so they're something you consider fake. Other coins however are currencies since you can exchange them for things as has happened with many types of coins other than Bitcoin. They might not be as popular but they still can do the same things for the most part. I don't understand your third point. It doesn't seem here or there. Someone could certainly create a new coin anonymously. I'm not sure why you think that's not possible. A throw-away email address, a github account paid with a pre-paid card, and some nodes hosted anonymously with the same card and voila you've got yourself a new cloned coin made by someone you don't know. I don't think your argument that Bitcoin is the only one that satisfies points 1-3 holds water since those points themselves don't seem to hold water either. (And you should check out Litecoin and Ethereum which both do all of the things that Bitcoin does) I'll be frank and say I still don't understand your last paragraph about the quotes. I now understand that you're not American but you seem to be implying something about American English being different than English elsewhere and using the way Ireland is pronounced doesn't seem to support that. No worries here though... it's not significant so no need for us to waste any more time on it.
