Great plan, it's not like much of the world's production is there now. Doing just that will without a doubt make X currency valuable!

Even if it were possible, it would just do the contrary.

The idea for posts and videos like this one is to milk the donations. Any settings has near 50% chance of doubling your balance after all, so, some of the users, the lucky ones that succeed, might donate after it "worked" for them. There's also the possibility of earning from referrals with these.

Anyone that can figure out a method to bring the house down could be doing just that themselves. Why bother making posts like this one and try to get donations now?

Check my earlier post, there's clear intention to mislead here. Although the OP deleted the reply and the post I quoted there, what can be seen there should be enough.

How do you know which one is their account from that?

Also, how did they accumulate that within 20 mins of the announcement?

 

Funny how both things you mention work very similarly. And yet.

Marriage is contract between individuals. If I'm not among the ones involved in this contract, why should I care? It's their choice. Alone.

A better question: There might be one, or not, but why would a god even need belief?

On the other hand governments play a large role in allowing such property rights. It wouldn't be anywhere as efficient in a world without centralization where everyone's fending for themselves.

Probably good if they are in areas like Vegas, elsewhere I don't think so.

A nice site with a variety of games and a promise of many more to come. Surely there's going to be one for everyone.

The look is clean and pleasing, even if a bit too bright. The avatars are particularly cute.

Congrats on the inauguration.

That would only be so if it were the only currency, and production somehow managed to at least sustain. The first seems impossible, while the second isn't likely if the first happens.

The limited supply does help its speculative value atm, but the "cap" is only there for itself. We are without limits when it comes to alts popping up.

Some of them got in when the price was much lower. It wouldn't be surprising if they were holding upwards of 200k.

Not that they need to be richer when they own industry, private islands and jets, etc. Money is a small fraction of the whole.

It does surprise how people miss that alternate currency gaining valuation has this effect as well. Merchandise cost is adjusted to total currency flowing towards it. These coins add to the dollar, and else, that's already in circulation.

The reason this looming inflation beast still lies in wait is not only due to its current lack of circulation, but also the market valuation for the whole not yet being terribly large. For now.

Currency of any flavor being added to a world with other currency can only add to inflation. What can cause deflation, instead, is having an excess supply of useful products.

Having a bit of inflation might even be for the best, but we are talking about going from somewhat high inflation into monstrous inflation here. The adjustments will be paid by those that least can afford it.

Read my posts above.

I'm afraid it's more likely it to further increase the divide between the top end and everything below.

Unknown and completely out of our grasp to figure that one out. We just are for what it concerns us, and individually we are because our predecessors bred.

Is there a point to all this?
Probably not. Most likely not.

Although many of them will fail, it still is so. The pump and dump schemes, as terrible as they are, wouldn't add much to this snowball.

Even assuming that the alts and tokens stops multiplying, and even the "mining" of current ones ended, with just the increase of the value of the existing pool, it would still be the equivalent of more money coming in for what concerns the whole ecosystem. One of the popular coins gaining a market cap of 10 trillions is the equivalent of printing that much cash and putting it into circulation. This is all due to the liquid potential, something that gold/silver don't have. For the time being just potential, but it could pose major problems when it does get unleashed. They aren't coming into a world with no currency, but attaching to one that had plenty of it, albeit with improvements.

That globally, as individuals we got to survive somehow. It is what it is.


Humans often aren't nice to each other when there's no common threat, we turn on each other and are perfectly willing to take a bigger slice at the suffering of others.

There can be a difference between what the label says and the actual contents.

The concept of Communism isn't bad, same for true democracy or anarchy and others. The problem lies in that it's impossible to properly implement them in our current world. Particularly with the current version of us humans.

China, for example, is not communist, but an authoritarian rule that practices state capitalism. The idea, they say, is that their current scheme paves the way towards the ideal communist society. You might not like them for whatever reason, but I'd say they do appear to be on track.

That one's interesting, but chemotherapy is just commonly used term for cancer treatment with drugs. That's still a type of chemotherapy.

Clickbait media.

Surely not mine, but it's all I have.

No reason to, and I try to judge people for the individuals they are.
