In free markets scarce goods are always available at a price and competition keeps it as low as possible.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">In an optimized market store shelves could automatically increase pricing as inventory fell and lower pricing as inventory rises.

Instead we punish those who prepare to serve this market by denying them profits.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">Those guys take an economic bet that future demand will be higher. Further more, if stores had dynamic pricing then it wouldn’t be possible to buy them out to resell higher.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 12px;">In a market with fair money and free from government distortion those with money have earned it by providing value to others in the past. If money is not the arbiter of scarce resources then political clout or those willing to wait in line at 3am become the “virtuous” entitled.</p>Joseph Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09478440519378317056noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-671890344317100367.post-50323336002691641452020-07-06T17:23:00.000-06:002020-07-08T17:30:28.605-06:00Podcast Episode 37: Should I Invest In Bitcoin?<iframe src="https://anchor.fm/solvemyworld/embed/episodes/Should-I-Invest-in-Bitcoin-ega5h8" height="102px" width="400px" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="bgi0d-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="bgi0d-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="bgi0d-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">What is bitcoin</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="acrf0-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="acrf0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="acrf0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Peer-to-peer network</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="5rkf0-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="5rkf0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="5rkf0-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Immutable Ledger of transactions</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="c6h5c-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="c6h5c-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="c6h5c-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Decentralized</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="6jaob-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="6jaob-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="6jaob-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Bitcoin solved the “double spend” problem</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="3gebj-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="3gebj-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="3gebj-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">World wide access (internet)</span></div></div><div class="DK2WGA7X3rKos2v1AABBD _20x9t-BL2SDh7lOGEew66E" data-block="true" data-editor="fuvlb" data-offset-key="1rqfk-0-0" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #292f36; font-family: Karla, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 14px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" data-offset-key="1rqfk-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span data-offset-key="1rqfk-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Fixed supply.
