I don’t know much about currency and this is the first time I’ve ever been fascinated by how it works. Crypto-currency is a clever implementation and prior to last week I hadn’t really put much thought into the differences between deflationary and inflationary currency. That’s what I mean by interesting, it’s a subject I’m enjoying and learning about.
I’m not convinced that Bitcoin can be pigeonholed as a great evil simply because it’s deflationary. I just need to do more reading an thinking before I can accept that. You ask why I would give a bitcoin away for an apple, maybe I’m hungry for an apple.
The thing I like most about crypto-currency is how it functions as a distributed, user processed system. I’m excited to see a similar implication of email or social networking.
Thanks for the kind words, that game was a lot of fun and you brought a lot to it yourself. I’ll probably have another run at it once things settle down again for me.
