Now let’s say I want to buy an obscenely over-engineered status symbol that costs a lot. Like a Porsche say.

Can I go to a Porsche dealer in Miami and say, ‘Here, Diego, I have .0001 of a bitcoin. I’ll take that new 911 Turbo S but in Cabriolet. Make that two, if you could please. In red. Here’s my...bitcoin?’

I mean somehow sitting at my keyboard watching Yellowstone gives me two cars?

I’m old. Has ‘Show me the money!’ Gone extinct?
none of that explains the mining aspect of it.
Which was the real question that was asked.
