RE: hyper-complexity of the multi-coin paradigm: @p{par}

uhhh...  Were you a postmodern lit major in college? @p{par}

 @p{brk}
I've got a pretty simple, but I think fairly accurate, view of money/wealth. @p{par}

I believe you can't create wealth just by printing money.  You can create the illusion of wealth (and I imagine some Keynesians would argue the illusion is enough to lubricate the economy and somehow increase productivity and growth and wealth; lets set aside that argument). @p{par}

You can create wealth by making it easier for people to transact (and money is the world's best invention for doing that, barter is terribly inefficient). @p{par}

I'm still stuck on how y'all think altcoins create wealth. I don't see any of them being any easier to transact than Bitcoin. @p{brk}
