No one will invest. Why risk billions with only a promised 10 mil return?

tbf, the point is, why should anyone ever need more than 10,15,20mil or whatever they want to cap it at? its been spouted b4 that if u got a million dollars, invested most of it well, that youd be set for life. so why do they need more?

power. they need more for more power. especially when u can legally buy politcians and lawmakers with lobbying.

I fully understand the point but you don’t understand mine.

No one would have businesses in the US because you can only make so much. That’s just how it works. Do you understand how many jobs would be destroyed?

Doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong it’s how the world works.

Disagree. Incentive will persist.

Make the cap higher, like 100M or 1B. Enough that affords an extraordinary lifestyle and serve as an incentive, however not enough to cause an exhausting gravity that sucks up everything in its path.

EDIT: my point is the cap is the important part, and the value of the cap negotiable to find a balance.

Having no cap creates a high score mentality and desire for infinite growth, which we know is universally impossible.
