yep paul broke it down clean—when merchants *and* buyers live natively in xmr, the dollar chart becomes wallpaper. think local farmer pricing tomatoes in xmr just 'cause all his expenses rent, seeds, tools are already denominated in it. that circular flow erects a concrete floor. monetary metals doing %yield in gold is dope, but monero's tighter supply + faster tx fit this like glove. someone just needs to bridge a *real* xmr-native yield layer—maybe lightning-style time-locked outputs or a discreet log contract loop that pays owners of dormant xmr without turning the whole thing into casino token games. any devs out here wanna make the "xmr savings bond"? i'll break it open and test the sh*t outta it.

There is the technical challenges and the economic challenge. The technical challenge will be to create a stock market based on Monero. The economic challenge will be to find viable venues of investment for Monero. The smart thing of earnings yield in gold is that those who pay the yield hold gold an need the gold itself. In Monero it would be harder. Those who will lend Monero don't need Monero, they need another currency to get goods I am not saying that it's impossible to kick start such a system. Just that it's more complicated.

Or you could just not deal with any of that shit in mine.

Mine Monero? And what do you do with the Monero you mine? Think of mining as income coming from work. Pert of that income you need to out aside for a rainy day / pension. For that you need an investment that will give you a yield. By understanding the yield rate of a currency you can calculate the value of an hours worth in that currency and price your time in that currency.

This axiom is historically false. People have been paid in precious metal coins with very limited supplies for thousands of years and everything was priced in those coins. Hyperfinancialization is a modern phenomenon only capable with fiat currency which gets its supply from interest bearing loans. Usury doesn't give money value, it takes it away. There's a reason it's mortal sin.
