When real money comes in, bit-coin gets issued. There is nothing backing bitcoin if the compter gets turned off, but somebody has made over a trilion dollars.

I don’t believe it’s real, although I do wish I had heard of it when it less than a penny a bitcoin. I would have bought in and sold out and retired.

True, but about a million computers worldwide maintain the full bitcoin ledger. You would have to wipe out the memories of all million computers at once.

No. Turning a computer off does not make Bitcoin disappear. You’d have to turn off the entire internet. Everywhere.
