    People have not actually put $9 bn into it. The value is crudely extrapolated from price and volume, but there’s nothing actually there.

      I guess that makes sense. So if they only sell 1 coin out of 1 million and they sell it for $100 then they can walk around saying the lot of coins as a whole are worth $100 million? (obviously a simplified example)
