You’ve misunderstood my point. This is formulaic finance math. In normal finance markets, there is a natural equilibrium where markets fully value the risk of mis-pricing the asset as part of the asset value. In the scenario outlined, only one party in the market is taking that risk, which means any financially savvy third-party can basically make free money off assets owned by others almost risk-free under a wide range of scenarios. Instant profit while producing no value. It would create an entire parasitic finance industry dedicated to exploiting it. You won’t generate much tax revenue if you destroy elementary mechanics of the economy along the way. It may not be intuitive how the math works but this would be exploited so hard it would cause serious social and political issues. I don’t have a dog in this fight, I am just savvy enough to the math to see how bad an idea this is. Which is probably why no government has seriously attempted it even though it is an old idea.
