And from Lightning Sparx...
In high school, the local sub sandwich joint had a $3.95 meatball footlong special once per week.
Now you're paying more than double for half.
This math hurts my soul.
Wait... I just envisioned a beautiful system.
Imagine if libraries worked off of V4V incentives.
Every citizen wishing to use the library pays up some Sats. If they return books on time - balance stays the same. If late, sats begin to be donated at a split to the library/other citizen library users with books out on loan. If return early... your balance is now owing some sats to you - which you can then choose to donate or hodl.
Basically like Stacker News. š³š¤Æ
Some parallels to a deflationary money like Bitcoin is it incentivizes V4V while fiat usually feels punitive.
Yeah good points. Using prices to measure inflation is a vague proxy - which was sort of my point. It's all a house-of-cards built on a facade of an illusion.
My real contention is when a business raises prices roughly in-line with inflation and then the un-informed public eats up the rhetoric the government/media propaganda machine feeds them, which is: cOrPoRaTe gReEd and gOuGiNg.
Oh I see what you're getting at. You're looking at the impacts of this esp on the markets, options and M2/3 money supply.
Zeus is quite impressive. Like another posted stated - they've come along way and their attention to detail seem so impressive - from the UX/UI to the marketing and graphics to the functionality.
I think Mutiny did some different things than Zeus... but yeah.
