    So why have slashdot go through a redesign that people will hate? Beta was a total failure, leave well enough alone.

    Seems to me that such a system would discourage honest moderation and only serve to create "mod" wars. There is a reason why voting is a private matter and does not subject to voters to public criticism.

    Besides, if everyone with mod points browsed at -1 as recommended most abuses would be corrected for. Slashdot has been part of my daily life for over 20 years and I would hate to see it devolve into petty popularity contests.

    How healthy do you think an economy would be if people did not spend money? I swear, taxes should be on wealth, not income. Money trading hands is what keeps everything rolling.

    Fiat currency guarantees that everyone has access to fiat currency. My understanding is that bitcoin is limited, there is only so much to go around. The more people there are, the more money that is needed. Bitcoin does not address that dire need.

    1. If the total supply of bitcoin remained the same the price would increase because fiat is inflationary.

    Which is exactly why fiat currency is far superior to bitcoin.

    Most plants do not have nervous systems. So group them in the same basket with bacteria and fungi. They cannot feel anything as they die so are of little importance.

    And you know that a nervous system is the only way for a living organism to experience pain how? Plants evolve to suit their environment just as animals due. The sweet smell of a freshly mown yard is their cry for help.
