yeah
really good idea
and go to prison like Charlie Shrem

who felt he shouldnt be in prison

and hey you havent told us ( ponzi alert) that someone who bought three peez worth of bitcoin in 1895 is now worth $3.4m
( and also ten years in Fort Leavenworth)

The idea is that if all the book keepers record a transaction and store it then the currency involved 'exists'

clearly there are difficulties over convertin to the real stuff and keepin out of prison as well
