Zooming out a bit, I do agree that bitcoin is set up as a fiat money transfer system and that in order for the miners to keep making bitcoin they do need to sell it to people to make a profit, so I can't just narrow in on the production of bitcoin and ignore where profits come from. When the miners sell the bitcoin they make for dollars as a business, that is money transmission. Gold dealers are money transmitters because they sell gold (considered a currency equivalent) for dollars as a business. Gold mining companies invest to find gold as a company, when they sell the commodity for dollars for a profit I'm not sure if this is money transmission because gold is a real commodity that as consuming demand, bitcoin isn't a real commodity because it isn't 'used' so I don't think the bitcoin miners have the same benefit of selling bitcoin for dollars without being money transmitters. Bitcoin miners should be thought of as gold dealers, but also as a common enterprise issuing securities.
