But it has been realized, you got $1B dollars from it. Like imagine if in the future when you go to the grocery store you never "buy" any items from them. You just "loan" a banana from them secured by a gold coin. They themselves use that loan as collateral to get money to then pay for their operations. Every example against this is somebody being like "I bought a house for 10k and now its worth $2M; I don't want a large tax bill!". And yeah; you won't get _any_ tax bill because you aren't using the house as collateral on a $2M loan.
