I understand what you are saying but it is irrelevant to the question of currency effect I brought up. > To make BUT ONE EXAMPLE -- BUT ONE -- you tell me, state, what you > think will happen to DGCs themselves when "the price of gold doubles" > > Will there be twice as many e-gold users, half as many, or unchanged? You see. The number of e-gold users has nothing to do with the effect of a rising or declining gold price on the revenues of TGC. I am talking about currency effect, which happens to be 'basic economics' as I told you before. All the big international companies see this currency effect, which you denied. I even brought you example from the quarterly results of McDonalds. But, what can I do , if you don't see it? And you start talking about the number of e-gold users, whether the people playing on TGC are 'big fish' or 'small potatoes',...., but this is all irrelevant to the question. > Your usuall thing when you are devastated in an email discussion on a > dozen points is to endlessly go on about one of the points, ignoring > the rest. Since this is a simple one-point email, you can simply > answer it ... I don't see anything devastated. If anything is devastated it must be you, because people that cannot keep to a 'civilised way' to discuss something, and their arguments are only 'hilarious, idiotic, not worth addressing', I think they need a rest at least. And I made only 1 point, so the other 11 points you see devastated are the points you have brought in I can still stand with my original statement, no significant argument has been brought against it: "Another overlooked factor is the effect that changes in the price of gold have on TGC business. Did you consider what would happen if the price of gold doubles to $700 an ounce? Most people still think in dollars. Most of them would go to the casino with the same amount in dollars , and that would mean only half that much gold.. So, everything else being the same, TGC revenues and profits would decline by 50% in gold terms." This is a simple statement about currency effect. An effect every company has to deal with. > Do you KNOW what will happen, and what is it .. twice as many e-gold > users, half as many, or unchanged ? Again is this irrelevant to the question. You are the one who complains that I am doing predictions. And now you are asking me to 'predict' how many e-gold users there will be when the price of gold has doubled. But I will answer it for you. I have no idea when and if the price of gold will ever double. So, I have even less of an idea how many e-gold users there will be at that time. But what I do know is: Somebody who hears about TGC and signs up, goes to a market maker and buys $1000 worth of gold to blow it in the casino. At current price of gold he takes a little less than 3 ounces to TGC. When the price of gold doubles, he will go with only 1.5 ounces. That is currency effect, totally predictable, easy to calculate. That is what I am talking about, from the very beginning. You want to talk about number of e-gold users? Fine to me , but I have nothing to do it. As you know I don't make predictions.
