It probably doesn't help that the way economics has been taught in the Western world for the last 100 years is basically phrenology that leaves one unqualified for any job that doesn't involve cheerleading for the rich and telling everyone how important it is to give them all the money.

The only Bitcoin ATM I can remember seeing around here is situated in a vast hallway in a dying strip mall on the way to the movie theater. I have never seen anyone use it. The last time I went past it I did notice it had an exposed USB port and keypad on the side, so I'm sure it is very, very secure.

Hell money raises some serious questions about the economics of hell. I assume that everyone burning billions in hell money means that you have to have wheelbarrows full of it to just get a hell candy bar out of the machine while you're waiting in line. If you did manage to get enough hell money to live off of, how long would it last? Can you invest your hell dollars wisely? Should you deposit all your hell dollars in the bank of hell, or are they like hell's federal reserve?

Yeah, I know it's trivial to poke holes in a belief system like that, but I'm still wondering how they think the hell economy is supposed to run when you're giving everyone fat stacks of cash. It feels like you should be equally well off with no hell cash given how hosed up the economy has to be.

I am not an expert but the way its treated in my family is the money is only good for a transitory stage while you get sorted to the correct final destination. So grandpa long ago moved on and his property is contest by new ghosts and so on and so forth and the money the dead spend is lost permanently, as are any physical gifts you give them so the whole thing is basically just a money sink.

It's a fun excuse to celebrate your ancestors with arts and crafts projects. They also do it in Mexico and burn effigies of things up to entire cars.

Also, China actually has had its own economic studies for centuries. There's a whole thing about it.

It's extraordinary. If it was on the street it would be people watching someone walk up to their friend and say "If you give me a thousand dollars I'll give you this Rolex" then just taking the money and not giving them the watch. Then literally turning to them and saying "If you give me a thousand dollars I'll give you this Rolex" and then handing them $1000. Then as he walks away another person appears and says "if you give me a thousand dollars I'll give you this Rolex with a gold strap" and both our victims suggest they walk to an ATM to get some more cash out.

And the first watch is clearly a Casio and the second guy doesn't even have a watch.


It's the biggest grift machine ever. And when it all blows up, billions are lost and the dust finally settles, some gently caress who stole everyone's money will still be a billionaire and will be one of the judges in Shark Tank. What a world

Bitcoin can never crash because it has a floor value equal to the cost of all the electricity stored inside each coin.
