    People who want for nothing: “I want to want for nothing even harder”

    The countermeasure to this was published, years ago, in a book “Who Gets What, & Why”, or something like that, on markets, & how they work.

    Millisecond-algorithmic-trading can be broken from all advantage simply by recording trades in 1-SECOND batches.

    Instead of seeing the weird event that happened a few years ago, where … 40% of the market’s value disappeared in minutes, & reappeared, as different algorithms 1st sold-off, then bought-in, to companies… ( essentially concentrating wealth quicker than any human could possibly do it ),

    it is the slope of the curve that the timing-algorithms are riding.

    By changing it from continuous-process to 1-second-batches, you simply break that millisecond-trading category from our markets.

    ( 1-second is an eon to the millisecond-traders.

    I’d say that it’d have to be rejigged, dynamically, in order to put humans & machines on more-equal footing.

    Possibly a 4-second cycle would balance fairness to human-traders & machines )

    Making money thats not connected to goods or services cannot be good for inflation. In fact id say it drives it, but economists like to spin it and instead say ‘the stock market indexes to inflation’ but I feel like thats because it’s causing it.
