> The only way to acquire bitcoin is to be productive and contribute to society This actually made me laugh.

  Not sure what are you laughing at. It's the nature of hard money, like bitcoin and gold. Their production cost is close to their market value, which means that you can acquire them only by mining or by trade, which both require work. No one can profit by creating them from thin air, like fiat money.

      Good luck trying to sell your coin to bitcoiners.

        If you're trying to imply that no one who holds Bitcoin would sell to buy other coins, then I think your view of Bitcoiners may need to be recalibrated. https://www.reddit.com/r/terraluna/comments/rs8hfv/how_to_buy_luna_with_bitcoin_via_dex/ https://www.reddit.com/r/terraluna/comments/rs8hfv/how_to_bu...

          Why do you think that creating a new coin and trying to sell it is the easiest way to get bitcoin? Most people think that it's not very easy, and buy bitcoin from an exchange.
