i am curious though how mpex has killed off the stupid bullshit prices of mining 'stocks' 'bonds' whatever you wanna callem
It has to do with the direction of the exponential. In the real world, when people buy stocks, they try to buy ones where the exponent is positive r = A*exp(x/t), like the red line. But mining is intrinsically a negative exponent process r = A*exp((1-x)/t), like the blue line. So MPEX is winning because they carry red line companies, not blue line companies.
Also, no ponzi.

Since we've (MPEx, that is) killed off that stupid bullshit prices are actually being more or less reasonably set by the market, whatever that means in BTC.
just curious how their red line effects the mining stocks being more or less reasonably set by the market and how they prevent/expose/cull ponzi's, etc. on other markets.
