== Is Betting essential to any "exchange"? == It is not strange. The entire global economy runs on this principle. And this is the only way to make the project pay for itself. :pls. See [[Advertisement Video]]s :You're right it's not strange, it's plain silly. They did invent this thing called a [[w:Stock market|Stock market]] a little while back. If you got capital, go play there. If you think some price is going up buy shares. If you think it is going down buy reverse instruments on it. Simple, eh? ::Everyone has capital. Some have [[instructional capital]]. Some have [[social capital]]. Sometimes this is convertible to [[financial capital]]. Sometimes not. If you realize everyone has capital, then everyone is a player. :::Involving money is unegalitarian ::::Not as much as involving all that junk you list at [[Hardware Requirements]]. More people have at least a little money than have all of that junk - and almost everyone can understand how to use a bet, since lotteries are so common on this planet, but how many really understand how to use their [[vote]]? You are making it non-egalitarian with a model that has no role for putting your money where your mouth is. If you want, limit the total amount of bets. All we need is the information - so a 5 yuan bet is as good as a 50 billion dollar one in some ways. ::::::Putting your money where your mouth is can be done when shopping if information is readily available which is the reason for the [[Hardware Requirements]]. :::::::Have you ever been shopping with a harried housewife with two kids? I think not. No one is going to read a single word in the store, ever. It will all be up to the lights and numbers, period. ::::::I've had it almost up to the "here comes the funnel and the KitKat McFlurry"-level with your constant betting centric approach and I'm too tired/bored/aggravated to continue argumentating why it's an unplausible idea to involve any monetary transactions within the exchange. :::::::Then what is actually being "exchanged"? What is the unit or [[instruct-ion]] or [[socializat-ion]] that one is exchanging with others? You must have some [[unit of account]].
