Bitcoin mining doesn't produce wealth either: Follwoing your own argument we can say it doesn't create actual wealth like sandwhiches or buildings. It is not REAL wealth. You have it all backwards also. Bitcoin might be limited in the amount possible to produce, but its still produced out of thin air at an arbitary rate. #LearnMMT Taxes matter here also. Theya ren't collected to pay for things, they are 'burned' out of existence.
