We had a great October in ~econ!

@SimpleStacker continued his Research in Public series and @denlillaapan dropped another entry in his Money Class of the Day series, which is our top post of the month. It feels like old times when those two dominate the whole page of top posts for the month.

We also had a poll with over 100 comments! Thanks to @kepford for kicking that discussion off.

It seemed like our posting fee was too high, so I cut it in half. Enjoy the cheap ~econ posting!

Writing Contest Rewards Update

Year to date, ~econ has made 437.6k sats in net revenue (!!!), which will be distributed to the top contributors for the year at the end of the year.

As of today, here's how much will be zapped to those posts.

Post of the Year: 437.6/3 = 146k sats
Posts of the Quarter: 437.6/3/4 = 36k sats
Posts of the Month: 437.6/3/12 = 12k sats

These numbers are exceeding my wildest expectations thanks to the quality of posts and generosity of stackers.

Thanks everyone!

The contest is a great initiative, I'll consider that in ~lightning for 2025

How are you getting the posting fee calculated?

What do you mean? The posting fee is a territory setting.

Thank you for the summary. I hadn't visited the site for a few weeks (or even read the SN Weekly digests), so this helps me see what I've missed, and also gives me a better idea of the site's econosystem.

The econosystem is very much a work in progress

And still nobody can refute the top econ post of the month of October.

Complete and Utter FAILURE to refute the TOP econ post!

@Undisciplined cannot refute it!

Nobody can!

Does it really count as "top post" if it has zero zaps and only ranked higher thanks to the boost?

7 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined OP 4h

No it does not

#1261402 - It is at the TOP of the list.

The Libertarian circle jerk cannot refute it.

They say they are open to the most fundamental free market of all - the contest of ideas - but they lie.

When issues are raised that they cannot refute they go into cowering denial and obstruct the free market in ideas like a bunch of quasi fascist hypocrits.

The contest of ideas is not a popularity contest or echo chamber - it is a question of reasoned debate - and you dare not even engage.

Because your Libertarian ideology is such indefensible trash.

I only debate with reasonable people.

What is unreasonable about this proposition?

'China has the USA/West over a barrel. Without rare earths supply the US military industrial combine is broke. The US cannot fight a war with China or anyone without rare earths. Trump started a trade war with China but China had prepared by investing in dominating global rare earths supply chains and now Trump must Beg for continued access to rare earths supply chains. Libertarian nonsense that free markets always deliver better results than government involvement and investment in strategic markets has been demonstrably proven complete and utter bullshit.'

Not one of you can refute it.

You only call it unreasonable because you cannot present a credible reasoned refutation to it.

Scoreboard. Strategy owns more BTC than the US and PRC combined.

Do you understand the word always?

I agree that often, in fact mostly, free markets tend to deliver the best result, but with the proviso that in some significant cases (eg rare earths) they do not.

I only need provide one example of free markets failing to deliver an ideal result to disprove that they always are superior- and I have. Rare Earths! There are many others too though.

Strategies concentration of Bitcoin custody into a form where it is hoarded as a speculative commodity and is prone to US government regulatory capture/confiscation is a debateable example of free markets delivering the best outcome. Much of Strategies 'success' to date is due to tax and regulatory factors which Strategy takes advantage of.

The contest of ideas is not a popularity contest or echo chamber - it is a question of reasoned debate - you hide behind childish memes because you dare not engage in reasoned debate of the issues I raise because your Libertarian dogma is indefensible nonsense. If it wasn't you could easily demolish my arguments. But you cannot.
