Money is a great bubble of hour time.
I have looked at it 6 month after they started, but never believed that the early investors would convince enough people to invest into it. Yes, I do regret that I did not buy, but feel cleaner to stay out of the scam that will bring unequal money-access to the masses of people who never bothered to understand monetary dynamics.
The patent processing fees are probably in the millions per month.
The only reason for patents to exist, is the processing fee that gets paid to bureaucrats. They encourage the companies to file more patents by approving all of the possible ones and rejecting them, if anybody complains later on.
This bureaucratic money making system is beautiful.
The fun thing of this game is that the assumptions of this human were also wrong.
The world-population is not growing as fast as it has been and the numbers of people are going to decline in the future, if the housing is going to continue to be so expensive.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
