Different definitions of "won't happen".

You're asserting that it can be turned on and it contains money. You're correct that indeed, there are some nodes containing some money.

I am asserting that the network will never be a functional way for large chunks of the population to move money around, because it is a bad design built on top of a bad currency. Under my definition, the fact that a few people interested in it have moved an infinitesimal amount of money around is mildly fascinating, but not of particular note one way or another.
