Again, in reality, the "faucets and sinks for a universal currency" approach would actually be MORE STABLE in real life than the current system we have now, in which banks can effectively conjure up any form of currency out of thin air in ridiculously high amounts, and governments have lost all forms of control over the actual money supply. In real-life, right now, we have a debt-centric money supply that depends on ever increasing amounts of loans being taken out in order to not have it all collapse under itself, with a mandatory built-in inflation thanks to the fact one has to always pay back more than they loaned. Runaway inflation can happen anywhere and at any time as soon as people lose confidence in the local currency and start preferring an alternative currency, and the local government steps in trying to avoid a figurative "run on the bank" as far as the local currency is concerned. A sinks-and-faucets regulating agency operating with an universal currency and tweaking those sinks and faucets based on REAL economic growth would have a much better control over the money supply (or, better said, over the real value of money) and as such would be far more qualified to handle any inflationary tendencies.
Yes, I just said that the EVE economic model is superior to the current real-life economic model. You may begin the futile flaming.
Well that's like your opinion man.

Flaming? Why?
Opinions are srs bsns to some people I guess, especially if they think that there opinion is in fact a mirror of reality, and the only mirror that could possibly be, and there is no other opinion that could possibly have any value because it isn't theirs.

The value of opinions is not the same regardless of source, and even for the same source, they're not the same depending on subject. For instance, the opinions of a highschool education housewife are certainly not equal to that of a respected mathematics professor at a good university...

Some people's opinions are expressed as facts. Usually at length in an appeal to authority.
