Yes you are correct my analogy really only works okay for the first air drop. However that was the most damaging one it was worth 10 x the following airdrops. It was then compounded on top of being 10x larger already.
I could adapt and adapt the island one until it was almost a perfect analogy and if you and I were really on the island experiencing this then you would eventually concede it wasn't fair or that life is just a complete bitch. I mean fair is a matter of perspective unless grossly grossly unfair then usually agreement is reached.
That'd probably be the case especially if finding those cans before the captain returns wasn't happening fast enough.
Now as to the bitmain one..
I like to view every new alt release as a separate event.
Now bitmain wants a new alt. If that alt is popular (byteball is popular and will become more so) it will face wide competition for the new alt.
If bitmain wants say 1000x more of this alt that myself they will need to spend/risk 1000x (perhaps only 300x they get cheap electricity but mine is not expensive)
So I spend 100 bucks they spend 30000 bucks
The new alts turn to junk and becomes worthless.
I lose 100 bucks they lose 30000 bucks.
This is pretty much fair to me. Or as fair as life gets. I would have no issue with that.
Mhmm. And in that situation, 30K bucks to them is 100 bucks to you.
I'm not a fan of POW though, not one bit. The fact that ByteBall wasn't that was actually one more good thing about it for me.
The car race one.... hmmm. Yes if nothing depended on the race no reason to complain too much i guess. Up the anti though....
It is televised..like the running man (love that film ...the arnie one with buzzsaw and dynamo) and you and some other guy are running this race and your life now depends upon it.
His father is rich and so naturally (and fairly according to you) the producer gives him the chiron. Your dad was not paying attention in school and you get an old heap of junk. Neither parent has to hand over hard cash so same for both i guess.
Track is the same track.. same distance.
People watching are going to be saying fair or unfair?
Now we are kind of pals and all I wouldn't even want to watch it
turns my stomach even to think about it.
OK, that's a tad extreme and pretty wild as an analogy to the ByteBall airdrop. Mine is closer since there's really nothing that significant depending on the airdrop. Certainly you're not gonna lose a job if the airdrop didn't exist/was postponed or at least complain ByteBall was responsible for said lost job.
