Amen, reverend. What leaves me most puzzled is that just about everyone seems to think that e-gold is a great thing and a blessing to all mankind if it wasn't for the surcharge on in-exchange. The only real exemption to this way of thinking appear to be exchangers and punters, with the prior earning money from it and the latter thinking that their winnings will make up for the fee manyfold. Both are of course correct. Exchangers need the fee because they don't trust each other enough to cooperate and agree on punitive out-exchange fees and for punters it makes no difference because they are highly likely to loose all of it one way or another anyway.
So run with the wolves then. If you can't beat them, at least bite them. You should all become exchangers and open casinos! Well, we for one, don't need to go to that extreme. We host merchants and gaming sites and facilitate exchangers. So we are on the winning end of both sides - but, we could make much more - on both ends - if more people would start using the system. Which they would, if there wasn't the surcharge. On the other hand, how could we charge exchangers for our services if they didn't have the income from their fees? In the end, I am sure, everyone will see the light and there won't be in-exchange surcharges anymore. Then we will all feel good about punishing the traitors that want to out-exchange. Then new money will come into the little economy we all share and suddenly there will be sporadic e-gold shortages, which will lead to _natural_ increases in the price of e-gold, rather than enforced ones. And that in turn, will have outsiders write about the benefits of a thriving online economy where the market rules supreme. What would you like us to host for you today?
