It could, and not just because people could filter the ads.
At the end of the day, e-gold will do whatever they want to. They are a
private corporation and can't be forced to do something that don't want.

Samuel,
I have no fault to find with your analysis revised to include the
financial/capital markets. With that addition you are absolutely
right that "trade deficits" are bogus and impossible. And you gave
good and clear illustrations too.
Good luck convincing anyone else tho.

In the short run they can do that, but if that were their long-term solution

Everybody probably already knows my stand on this issue. I'll try to do an
objective analysis though.
e-gold averages between 5-10,000 spends in any 24 hours period.
In the past few months, there has been as few as 2500 and as many as
28,000.
A few relevant questions are:

Large retaile
While the article in question is largely political bullshit, Samuel Mc

something which is little better.
The USA has a large trade deficit meaning the value of its imports is much
less than the value of its exports. This m

Where's the problem on the spend confirmation page?
