Alan Green$pan is apparently not holding any shares to avoid any appearance of conflict of interest, though his wife owns shares. That's amusing because it implies that holding money removes him from a conflict of interest. As you point out, that means his interest [from a simplistic financial gain point of view] is to give advantage to lenders rather than borrowers and not to devalue the money by printing a bunch of it, which would dilute his holdings the same as a company printing shares and giving them to their buddies for free would dilute other shareholders. To me it's fair enough that he defend the value of money. That's his job. The owners of the money presses won't be impressed if he doesn't maximize the returns on the money supply. They should be annoyed if he wants to hold something other than a shareholding in the business. Same as Q! shareholders would be disappointed if Irwin Jacobs sold out his Q! and held stock in Alan Green$pan's business [okay, you need a bit for groceries, houses, gifts and stuff so some $$ holdings are necessary for Irwin]. The big question is, will Irwin Jacobs' Q currency beat Alan Green$pan's $ currency? I'm betting on Irwin, because Alan can only win as long as he can keep USA citizens prisoners of his money supply laws, government agencies, police and military. It is coming and It will set us free. Or, if not free, conduct a takeover of us and at least pay us a better rate. I hope. Alan has to harvest the money tree as much as he can and keep the game going as long as he can - not just from a selfish financial point of view, but because that's his job. Qomputing, encryption and cybermoney are coming though and Alan's $ is an endangered species. That's my theory. Go Q Go. Mqurice
