Strictly speaking, I'm all for it; I even like it and hope there's more. When you really look at it (—or at least, when "I" really look at it—), that's all these bullshit pennies are about anyway.
Most of them hide behind some "premise" of "promising hope" fueled by dopey press releases and thread shills—hobbled by crappy fundamentals which the touts don't want you to look at anyway.
At least this was an honest, out-in-the-open game of "Do you feel lucky?" To his credit, Copia said "Hey, the table is Blackjack, I'm the dealer. Wanna play?"
I find that method much more honest and open than the rest of the horseshit that happens on penny threads. You get the ground rules out in the open. If you want to go into the casino, you know it's a "casino" instead of a "trumped-up shack with a false storefront" posing as a viable business.
That makes for more accurate decision making when self-answering, "Do I want to go in?". I wish they all were like this. If you're going to go into a "questionable deal", it's much better to skip the BS and have the roulette wheel presented up front. "The Game" isn't so bad as long as it's really presented as "the Game", rather than "this is the Game, but I'm going to dress it up as IBM hoping that you'll buy into it". |
