I'm not ganging up on you with Noctis. It just happens that Noctis and I have been in this debate several times now, and happen to largely agree with each other.

The problem with your debate is that you aren't even clearly arguing from a specific stand point, and you are using hypotheticals and rhetoric claiming they are fact (5 times now, including the last one which is a direct contradiction to your attempt to pass it off as speculative.)

No one ever argued that your math was wrong... just that it wasn't proof.

And it's not proof. Not of anything other than you feel that the greedy underhanded jerks in 2.0 are going to corner the market and make everything ludicrously overpriced.

If you want to believe that, feel free. But my point is those same greedy underhanded jerks can do the same thing right now if they felt like it. The thing stopping it from succeeding right now will still be present and effective after the 2.0 redenomination.

It is entirely possible that for a brief period it will work. The only way to ensure that it doesn't drastically effect you is to be conscientious of it's potential.

But even if it does work for a short period, over time the prices will fall (or maybe even rise.) until they reach a new equillibrium based on the item's supply and demand in the new economy.

You are arguing that the redenomination opens up the opportunity for abuse and I while I concede that the potential is there, I disagree about the degree that it will occur and succeed.
