> No, because there is always a need for artificially stabilised currency. This is a mathematical assertion and requires a proof.

  No, it's a musical assertion and requires lyrics. That's how dumb you sound.

    > That's how dumb you sound. This is HackerNews, not Reddit; comments like this are typically ignored. You are claiming that all currencies require active stabilization; that a currency is unstable without outside intervention. Where's the economics that supports your claim? You can cite it, if you want. Your retort regarding music is irrelevant, and it looks like you missed my point. Instead of writing a paragraph, I observed that you are "making an inherently theoretical claim which you haven't backed up". Why do you believe intervention is required for stability? Do you have a theory; can you cite a theory? I'm not sure why the question was confusing to you, nor why you took it as an offense. I'm sure other people would love to hear you justify your socialist, "hands-on" viewpoint.

      If you don't agree with the assertion, that's fine. Convincing you is not a productive use of my time. Ask your nearest high school economics teacher to explain it to you.

        Replying is not worth it for you.

          I don’t believe for a second you actually hold the contrary view.

            Or perhaps it is...
