This is a beautiful piece of art/social experimentation/I-don't-know-what.
- TheAnimus 13y agoIt's brilliant, and it will work, and continue to work until people don't believe in it.
- ryanjshaw 13y agoThat's the fun part. Watching to see how big it will grow. It's almost like putting an exact dollar value on the amount of greed present.
- maxerickson 13y agoIt's technically how high it goes (the current balance should be quite a bit less than the total paid in).
- eterm 13y agoI don't find it fun at all, I find it a bit tragic. Looking from the chat it looks like it's a bunch of kids who don't have the sense to not engage with this kind of site.
- ElongatedTowel 13y agoI love how people send over $1000 to this site. Why not play poker if you have that much money to spend on gambling? Or, you know, buy an instrument and learn something beautiful?
- BlackDeath3 13y agoBecause if they gamble and win, they can buy two instruments! Do you not understand how gambling works?
- ZitchDog 13y agoJust like Bitcoin. :)
- BlackDeath3 13y agoJust like fiat.
- judk 13y agoJust like Social Security, really.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoI mean that fiat will continue to work as long as people believe in it. Social security, now that I think about it, does sound much like a Ponzi scheme.
- skj 13y agoPopulations grow exponentially, and the whole population is required to pay into SS.
- paul_f 13y agoExcept they don't. Populations in developing countries have now stabilized and in some cases, Japan, are well below replacement level.
- skj 13y agoPopulation growth is a fundamentally exponential process, even if that exponent is very close to 1 in some cases, or even less than 1.
- 2stop 13y agobut you said exponentially growing... which typically means "doubling". You are now saying the 'exponent' could be < 1... then you aren't 'growing' anymore... so you refuted your own statement.
