In the beginning, there was nothing.
Then, some pimply dude in basement said "let there be money", and because he didn't have any, he created some files.
And then, he said unto himself "this is how I can scam people" and then set forth to preach the files to the unwashed masses.
Other pimply dudes with no money then think "dayamn, I can has money by doing nothing, just create some files" and then they created files.
Then the files are sold and bought, and sold and bought, and more pimply dudes are then caught up in the turning-nothing-into-money business.
And then, mt. gox rested on the 7th day.
Did I get that right?
