This is just robbing savers.

You should only be able to consume what you produce. Using force to impose any other distribution system will be less optimal. If an individual is so unproductive that they cannot sustain themselves, they must rely on the voluntary charity of their peers.

Spurn wild goose chases. Seek that which endures.

Well if that is actually what OP suggested then that is a stupid idea because it's socialism and we all know socialism doesn't work.
How would you define the term "socialism"?

Because I suspect it's not how the term is defined in the dictionary.


If there is something that will make Bitcoin succeed, it is growth of utility - greater quantity and variety of goods and services offered for BTC. If there is something that will make Bitcoin fail, it is the prevalence of users convinced that BTC is a magic box that will turn them into millionaires, and of the con-artists who have followed them here to devour them.

You guys are both missing his point. See where he says, "For the people who are rich, then they face inflation but that's not a bad thing - they'll be encouraged to spend it."

This means his idea of "equal distribution" is the same amount for each individual. Not according to how much money you already hold. So, inflation comes, everyone gets $100.

Well if that is actually what OP suggested then that is a stupid idea because it's socialism and we all know socialism doesn't work.

Actually, it is wealth redistribution through the guise of inflation.
