Thank you for your input and explanation.

As stated, this post was intended to raise awareness to the issue - as seemed the original didnt get much attention - not for rewards.

Appreciate your perspective - given you've been around since the start and have a deep knowledge of the back end dynamics, your voice is highly valuable in the discussion to help clear up any misinformation on the matter.

also updated the post title as suggested and inspired by @pfunk & @recursive 's comments to tone down the seriousness suggested by the first headline.

Enki was correct generally speaking for abritrages.  He was not correct for this specific case.... his analysis is easily disproven by market observation.  If he were correct,   prices would tend to meet in the middle (or at least a volume weighted middle)... they don't.  The price always corrects to the (lower) external exchange price.

That said, it doesn't really seem to me like the issue here is the _recycled_ nature of the post.  There are many "hidden gems" and similar type posts designed to get attention for unnoticed posts.   What it seems like to me is that you either disagree or simply don't want the issue discussed, and youre doing your best to make sure it doesn't get exposure.

Although you are entitled to belileve whatever you like, and vote accordingly, I take exception to the claim that the post i n question was "incoherent nonsense".  If it was something that Rok felt was compelling enough to repost (which, incidentally, was entirely unsolicited) , and many other presumably intelligent people agreed with and found it compelling (including @andrachy, who proofed it) and a hundred something people who voted for it.  Even if im wrong (ftr im not), there seems to b e enough of a compelling argument to make a lot  of people think.

I'm not a fan of using the downvote in that manner, but otherwise agree with what you're saying about the incoherent arguments, and I upvoted your comment so it stays up top.
