    No, you can’t just be curious. That’s not allowed!

    Also, the BTC price then is: “what’s bitcoin? Not that you’d know the value of the currency I say anyway.”

      Maybe, but I know what a Roman denarius is, and that was used 2000 years ago in a region I’ve never lived in.

      If even a single full node was still running and a single service was willing to exchange it, you could in fact look up the price. And if digital currencies continue to be a thing (seems likely to me), then exchanging between them may not even require a third party, it will likely be possible to do within the protocols.

      Personally I think it’s not an unreasonable question. A bit boring, but I see the appeal.
