You may be familiar with bitcoin, a digital fake money currency used by idiots to help criminals launder money. This space-rich Tetetae asks, why doesn't Davion pay its pilots in bitcoin?

It seems a perfect match. Like bitcoin, Davion pilots are terrible. Also, bitcoin has artificial value, like the CW map, and there are a limited number of them, which is fine because Davions don't usually get wins, they just flip planets with numbers.

You might ask, "what about the fact that there are so many Davs to pay?" Well, yes, but first of all, that would only make bitcoin more valuable, and secondly, Davion pays so little that only dumb people or children would willingly join them - just like bitcoin!

Bitcoin and Davion, two bad flavors that taste bad together!

The US government recognises bitcoin as a digital virtual currency and that it can provide legitimate financial services to customers. The Chinese government has restrictions on its use. A sure sign of recognition since what is the point of restricting something seen as not 'real'. It is true that bitcoin has been use for illegal purposes, but name a currency that has not been so abused. As to its artificial value. Since the dropping of the gold standard the value of any currency is no longer based on anything real and thus could be considered artificial.

Your views on the worth of Davion pilots are a little ignorant, if not actually childish. Instead of pointlessly arguing with you about this, I'll let the combat results of the coming months speak for themselves.

Well you have to adjust things for the amount of insanity they have because of their leader.

12 Davions attacking 1 of their planets = "ZOMG the DAvion Horde is Ghost Dropping and zerging our planet and there is no way we could possibly field enough warriors to defend it.. CW IS BROKEN!!!!!"

So yeah... the amount of land you'd think they had left would be 0 based on their complaints and whines.... however the truth is not nearly as bad.

We here at Liao neither cash shame, nor fat shame. I will point out, however, that you are criminally underpaid because Hanse is diverting war funds to his waistline via Arby's.

This is what I'm talking about. I haven't really played a CW match where I've made less than 600k except on the rare losses, and those I've still made 250-300k. You are poors and bads. I average 750k per CW drop because of my beefy cash bonus for being the good guy.

Bitcoin is the best financial invention of the last 60 years. All the big banks are now adopting the technology. Further, it allows decentralized security, which is a revolution in security.

The OP also thinks Cars will never replace carriages and the internet is a fad.
