Thanks hayamoto_jr for creating and the feed and THANKS to Charles for another great AMA. Charles, I hope you get the opportunity to present to Wall Street. When I read about the Wall Street firms wanting to create their own crypto, I think - wouldn’t Cardano be perfect for their use case. Thanks again
hayamoto_jr and Charles!

Where did people ask these questions? I really like their quality. A huge departure from some of his “interviews”, very informative and I want to get to ask some of my own!

So glad I got to ask a question which he took the time to answer. I asked about the concerns of the cardano project. I liked that most of his concerns were in a past tense.

I think the distribution is very important, however not the initial one but the one where the system converges to.
As C well said, our current (interest-inflation based) economic system’s wrong, and unfortunately the mass of the economists are trying to solve its well-known (and sometimes fatal) issues by thinking only inside the box.
But, it can be clearly seen, assuming studied math and economics, that the exponential growth (due to positive interest) is not sustainable and converge only to a small group of ppl (can be modelled very easily /w a very simple math).
Though, the interest can be positive, zero or negative. But, they only try to find solutions using models based on the positive one (a very strong economic incentives for those small group of ppl) instead of trying to model the zero or negative ones.

EDIT: currency means in circulation, usually comes from a requirement of having something that effectively replace bartering or to marchendise/trade easy, and I cannot see such forces from the market yet.
