finite resources in a zero sum game

Just ignore the retards, lean towards the anons that actually give advice. Also, Hobbesian, and Machiavelli, tribalism is the reality of our world.

>>16291388
to scare all the redditors away, duh. what are you, some kind of FAGGOT?

>>16291399
It's not zero sum retard. If it were no wealth would exist.

>>16291450
Wealth is used to get people to provide you labor. By exchanging labor for wealth, people are admitting to having "negative wealth". It all adds up to 0.

>>16291479
I originally thought you were making a sardonic reference to how life is a zero-sum game because everyone dies, but it turns out you're just retarded

>>16291450
As long as we have resources it's not zero sum

Modern prosperity is literally from burning coal and oil, not the "free market" "human ingenuity" or some other cope

>>16291497

Do you people literally not understand that concept of what zero sum is?

>>16291517
The economy is not zero sum. You don't know what "zero sum" means.

>>16291479
It's wealth for wealth. Previously created wealth, money, for newly created wealth, labour. Wealth is constantly being created in these exchanges. Some of it is consumed but a non zero percentage saved.
Again, if it were a zero sum game, no wealth would exist.

>>16291510
Wealth can't be created from the resources that exist unless human ingenuity turns those resources into something useful for people who are willing to exchange value for it in a free market. And resources will forever be abundant as our planet is a solid chuck of resources with even more resources floating all over the place.

Human beings become aggressive when they try too hard to prove their point, especially if is baseless.

Just look at Craig and how many "fuck" does he say when he's trying to prove he's Satoshi.

/biz/ is a wonderful place if you're able to filter that shitpost, the baits, the p&d pajeets shills etc (basically 95% of the posts, I know...), but still...

I come from a family where academics and intellect are valued heavily and was not ready for this sort of bantz when it was dished out to me in the real world. Classic scene.

>>16291531
Tapped out?

>>16291510

Burn the coal, pay the toll

>>16291399
It's not a zero sum game.

External resources are irrelevant

The problem is WOMEN are a zero-sum game, and every man always wants as many as possible

What is it that makes different types of people gravitate to different crypto projects?

It's obvious that questions of tech have nothing to do with it; people fall into different crypto "communities" as a function of personality and temperament, of "identity". So what in particular makes the different "identities" in crypto subcultures so potently felt? What makes Nano the ledditor coin and Chainlink the /biz/raeli coin? What makes Twitter normies flock to XRP and neurotic faggots to BSV? Why do people shill RLC just to spite Link?

>spoonfeed me!

>>16291388
Go back faggot.

Most of the time it's just bantz. Once you're not a newfag anymore you will learn not to take it personally.

>>16291388
If you can't take a joke then fuck off back to Facebook

Tiger tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry


We take things we fear more seriously than things that bore us. So while it is not the only way, playing on fear is one of the shortcuts to be taken seriously.
