haha, I have no intentions to make anyone angry.
Shortly speaking about the finances, my main rule is that everyone who has no disabilities (we must help disabled ones as a society, no doubts here) should be able to care for themselves. If taking care of yourself requires 10k per month, you should get 10k. If it requires no 10 dollars, you are fine with 10 dollars. If it only requires growing a seed, I am fine if you grow that seed.
The system is not perfect, I agree. Following system will not lead you anywhere, I agree as well. However, we all should require no more than we can afford. Simple.
Sadly, I have no idea about when 017 is coming. I guess it was not yet scheduled, but I might wrong.
You've put it in a great way, i only economists thought like that, some of them are stuck in the mystical , at least it looks like it is that way, hadn't seen many millionare gardeners or planters. For 0.17 I didn't find a date but it should take time and get delayed or whatever since its a hardfork again and some big changes are coming , Thank you once again for your story and your share :) , also the truth in your words and the general notion !
