I haven't seen a bad idea that I didn't like.

AAHZ Posted:

before 50 BP was a big deal, now 50 BP is an alt. people will throw around 400, 500 BP in contests, its silly.


its a bad idea, and even comical in the long run. a BP is cheapened to 1/15th of its value and that is that, if CZ didn’t control the markets you would see it my way too.

AAHZ, let’s do some basic math. Firstly, I like you, and you like me, so try to take a rest on the victim mentality for a sec while reading my post.

I have $5.

In an unsurprisingly narratively convenient fashion, hamburgers also cost exactly $5.

I can buy one hamburger.

Uh oh! Prices just doubled!

Hamburgers cost $10 now!

But wait — my salary also doubled. I have $10 now.

For the same input of effort, I have enough money to get the same reward before. Therefore, economically speaking, my consumer satisfaction level is unchanged.

Switch out salary for BP and Hamburgers to anything you’re buying on this game. Your consumer satisfaction level SHOULD be unchanged, if you’re a rational consumer (which in economic terms is always given as an bumumption).

If you disagree, you’re being irrational, and therefore do not factor into economic concerns.
