with an interest rate algorithm designed to keep prices (roughly) constant would be very appealing.
I know. I probably shouldn't have said it in this forum, because someone else will do it and become insanely wealthy from it. Hopefully they won't do it stupidly and ruin the idea (anyone who wants to do this should email me first, and build some sims ...has anyone ever built a sim before launching one of these coins??? I do it before launching every new card game or slot machine). For the time being though, BC is as good as it gets from a fundamental perspective; and even if such a coin appeared tomorrow, BC would be a great alternative/carry instrument for it, so they would be complimentary.
Sorry. I'm not following this concept of "adjusted inflation rate".
Also I've heard more people play the lotto when economy is down so that makes sense about gambling. Desperate times means desperate people looking to win big.
