LindeX Market Data Past Three Months?

hahahahha... You gotta love it. I'm ignored by Patch and
yet she/he/whatever still can't help but respond to me...
If only I could get my critics to ignore me, I would never
have any opposition.. hheheheh

You can't deny the fact that people smarter than you are cashing
in on Second Life. Profit and Greed now rule SL, you only speak of
dreams from a bygone era. In 2006, the almighty L$ is your
master. Accept it....

Used to be this guy named alby who refered to people who make stuff as 'making rainbows'

Was very keen on short selling lindens...

And also thought himself a bit of a saviour on how to save LL and the economy.


His other claims to fame were:

Being whoafully less intelligent than he claimed to be.
An uncanny ability to predict what had happened a week ago.
And giving financial advice 180 degrees of what made sence.

Any of this sounding familiar to any of the older folks at home?


(oh and the geko-esque comment one thread above sounds familiar too )

lol.

Thats quite an assumption of what I do in SL since you dont know me. I do what I want to do. If its making rainbows or whatever so be it, but I I dont do it for the money, just the shear pleasure of creating, not destroying.

Just who would gain from your schemes? The average player or just your supposed select few? I can tell you who, no one, SL would go under. But maybe that is your plan.... to grab as much as possible before it does.
Like I have said, I dont need to make money in SL, what I do make is great but it is not important to me.



Siigy, now that you mention it, by golly there is quite a comparison

More assumptions? You havent a clue as to how smart I am but you have made baseless claims about my mentality .... bad move

well the argument has twisted from 'Most people do this' to 'well some people do this but the rest are stupid'

Its the typical backpedal maneuver we've come to know and love

Well, if you didn't respond with useless remarks, these topics
wouldn't go down hill...


"Welll I could take it from the first day Lindex opened and say 'its constantly improving'"
-Siggy

Speak the truth next time.. The Linden Dollar is going down
and everybody knows it, except you.

I just figured it out, you are that Teacher in Colorado who was
talking about the evils of capitalism that got suspended.. I knew I
recalled your style of ranting from somewhere...

Yah - whatever - but just saying it doesn't make it so I guess.. and good thing for that... when you have something to support your speculation I'll start listening to you - till that day arrives - I'll suggest that others dont.

See if you were such a successful biz person you'd be like the rest of the top percent - actually making money - rather than trying to scam ways to get what little you probably have to be worth more

(BTW the chart showing the last 30 days doesn't seem to support your theory)

There is no speculation in what I'm talking about. It all facts.
The Linden Dollar is going down and the Lindens patchwork
fixes have done nothing to steam the tide....

Prove me wrong. Tell me when the L$ will be worth
US$4=L$1000 or better? Because as far as I can see,
there is Tens of Thousands of US Dollars required to
buy up the glut of Linden Dollars to reach that level...

And as the Glut Grows (Thanks to Stipends), the L$ will
continue to fall.. Fact, Fact, Fact... But only the ignorant
believe all is fine. You and the blind were singing the same
song back in Oct'2005. And yet the L$ falls...

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee...

This may be hard for you to grasp but reverting to name calling doesnt make your point. It reminds me a lot of children fighting in a schoolyard.

A teacher, hardly, although I do teach in SL.... just what was it you do in SL?

Wow. Facts. So how what percentage of residents are getting $L500 a week and what percentage $L50? Oh, don't have that fact, huh?

How many people trade money on LindeX? Nope, don't have that fact either.

How many residents make more than they spend in SL? What, you don't have that fact?

How much money goes out of the system through payments to LL (upload fees etc)? What you don't have that either?

You don't have the data to make any of the assertions you've made except that the value of the $L has declined over the years. You're just pulling ideas out of your butt and telling us that they're based on "facts". Facts you don't have. LOL.

So - saying 'down down down down' at the start of this thread were facts?

No not 'prove you wrong' I'm asking to for you to 'prove you right'....

To be honest looking over the last month it looks like its just been sitting there to me - despite your saying 'omgzorz its doomsday' predictions.

So... prove yourself right... where is this doomsday? The sky still looks up in the air... the only HUGE jump I personally saw was directly post 'telehub buy back' which would kinda make sense if the Linden mint churned out to pay that tab....

Only I'm not saying 'wow look happy times are here ahead' I'm saying 'It doesn't seem to be dropping through the floor like is being suggested'

It kinda looks like its sitting there....

Which in a way is good - I'd like it to sit somewhere before folks start stirring it round with changes.

(side note - the interesting figure I think isn't at the top of the heap - but at 261, which was at 6mil this morning, and 12 mil a few days ago .. some serious shuffling goin on down there)

There are two points here...

- some people disagree with predictions of sudden drastic drops in the value of the Linden
- some point out that for them, a falling Linden would not make the game any less fun.

Rather than argue the first, I've posted a poll on the second
91373


I look forward to seeing the results.

And a look at the numbers of sellers on the Lindex would support Toy's statement. Even on the most conservative estimates, the number of people selling on the Lindex is far eclipsed by the number of people in SL.
People are not blind and stupid because they choose to do something other than make money in SL. It is different things for different people, and that's just fine. If it's their recreation time, that is no less worthy than if it someone else's profession.
And you know what? Some people in SL make both 'rainbows' and money.
Look down upon the masses all you want. Go ahead mock them, for not 'seeing' what you see. It won't alter the fact that Toy is right, it is the thousands and thousands of typical players that are paying the few who are in a position to sell on the Lindex. And it won't alter the fact that most of them will carry on having fun, doing whatever they choose to do, without giving a damn about what someone's superiority complex tells them is the right and only way.

Become the counter balance to your radical visions and ideas.

Dead Cat Bounce, like any short term pull back in a market.
Time to stop being an amateur looking at short term data and
start to put on your professional cap and look at the long term
data.

The Poll has already started out with the edge going to
people being slightly to serious being effected....

You fail to factor in that the number of people who spend L$ in
SL eventually will find their dollars in the hands of the people selling
on LindenX.

So your comment is mute. The quanity of sellers means nothing.
Its the quanity of Linden Dollars being sold which is the key factor.
Duh...

No I don't, that is precisely my contention. It is the majority that spend Lindens that are giving Lindens to the few who sell them.

Q: What percentage of residents are getting $L500 a week and what percentage $L50?
A: 20% = L$500 / 80% = L$50

Q: How many people trade money on LindeX?
A: 10% of the Population

Q: How many residents make more than they spend in SL?
A: Impossible Question to Answer. Nobody submits income statements.

Q: How much money goes out of the system through payments to LL?
A: 5% of the Weekly Stipends Total.




Mikey, Mikey.. Don't mess with the Bull, you'll get the Horns...
Amateur.

And this matters because???? The Lindens still end up sold on
the LindenX, regardless of the number of people doing the selling.
Which in effect pushes down the valuation of the Linden Dollar....
More L$ being sold than US$ buying them up..

It matters because you contend that the power resides amongst as you put it, '$econd Life' and that "The almighty Greedy traits of Barons and Profit seekers is what keeps LL in business which in turn keeps Second Life Alive." It doesn't. Power ultimately lies with the consumer, that 'great unwashed' that you look down your nose at.
They vote with their $L.
