Er...Have you examined Examiner lately??? It's apparently dropping and growing at the same time! What you've really found out is that the spot price rise affects customers more than a spread, which is fine and as it should be. There's no reason for e-gold spreads to be any different from any other exchange business sold currency, it's just another currency to sell! >This reduces transaction fee revenue for e-gold Ltd, and everyone else >(apart from HYIP and gold games) is suffering from what appears to be a >shrinking market in real terms. Or maybe http://stats.e-gold.com ?? Self-interested prevarications aside, what's happening is get paid to read email stuff (in other words, e-gold is effectively stopping spam, the hard, quiet way). Speculation (especially math-challenged speculation!) about "games" is just that: speculation -- when it's not also prevarication that is! The "games" all spam, and all get shut down or fail eventually. They're a tiny part of the economy at this point, because they've not grown as fast as the legitimate businesses (whose e-gold accounts DON'T constantly get value-limits -- lots of dissembling, self-interested rants & allegations to the contrary notwithstanding!). >Less market participants, less new merchants entering. Less new merchants, >less new participants - a downward spiral. Not reflected at http://stats.e-gold.com -- which seems to have an upward bias these days...
