How Money Works

Exploring EVE Online's virtual economy, the discussion centers on a paradox of abundance leading to player boredom. Developers reintroduced scarcity to spark conflict and excitement. The host examines the rising prices of in-game ships and how it correlates with stagflation, alongside the allure of collectible ships. Unique anecdotes reveal the risky behavior players exhibit with rare assets and the implications of allowing real-money conversions of in-game items. Can a digital asset truly transition to real-world value?

EVE Online's Self Imposed Economic Collapse - How Money WorksA few years ago the galaxy within EVE Online was facing a problem. Abundance.An abundance of materials, an abundance of fuel, an abundance of high paying income sources, and an abundance of safe space to harvest these materials, fuels and space dollars.Now while that might sound like a really good problem to have, (and it would be in the real world) It does cause some problems in a video game.The biggest problem simply being that is boring.Try playing GTA 5 with god mode hacks turned on, after punching some fighter jets out of the sky you are going to get bored pretty fast, and people WERE getting bored.The largest groups in EVE online were up until recently playing a game of “build as much as you possibly can so it becomes almost impossible for any smaller group to ever catch up”.#EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQPart 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8Part 3 - https://youtu.be/ijhAILUNz_sMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Thanks to Stamps.com for sponsoring the show!Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 --------------------------------------According to the US college board the average out of state cost for a student attending a four-year college is $149,720 when including tuition, books, room and board. The prices are lower for community colleges and higher for private and for-profit colleges but the out of state four-year college is a pretty typical experience for most people taking this path.$150,000 is a lot of money for a young adult to be playing around with especially when students are taking on debt to fund the expense, but most don’t look at a college degree as a frivolous purchase, it’s an investment that will produce strong returns over a working career.The data still backs this up, the cost of a college degree has increased significantly but just by the numbers it is still a good investment with the typical college graduate earning $650,000 more than the typical high school graduate over the course of their according to Pew Research Center.But just because something is a good investment doesn’t mean that there aren’t other better investments available.#howmoneyworks #career #collegeEdited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupAll materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Why EVE Onlines Market System Might Be Too Efficient For its Own Good - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈The third and final installment in my series on the Financial System of EVE Online.So far in this series we have already explored how the massive wars you hear about in gaming magazines are funded using everything from in game casinos to war bonds.We have also explored how the game has it’s very own tax havens and how they were causing the same kind of issues that tax havens do in the real world.EVE Online’s economy is so large and complex that it truly does rival some small nations, what’s more than that is that it’s system are so realistic that they can genuinely be used to model real world economic systems far more effectively than even the most expensive models used by governments, universities and financial institutions.Part of this is by design. But it may not all be for the best.So its time to learn how money works, and see how the market system in EVE online might have been too well designed for it’s own good.In an interview with the founder and CEO of EVE online, it was revealed that the Marketplace in eve, (where buyers and sellers will trade items) was actually copied off the Nasdaq.You see way back in 2002 when this game was first being developed the creators knew that enabling free and effective trade between players would be key for making the game truly immersive, as opposed to similar games at the time, that relied primarily on trading with non-player-controlled characters that would offer fixed per-determined prices.So they needed to develop a system to make this happen.#EVEOnline #Finance #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Part 1 - https://youtu.be/m6j_UsGJnkQPart 2 - https://youtu.be/2t25bsqlTM8Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic Sound & Eve Online Original SoundtrackSign Up Link (if you want to try out the game) - https://www.eveonline.com/signup?invc=ef33cafb-0aa2-4051-9f03-55dc800247c2(This link gives both you and I rewards in the game)Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Business debt in the U.S. is skyrocketing, nearing $14 trillion, raising concerns about financial stability. The focus on short-term profits has led to stagnation in major companies, as executives prioritize stock buybacks over employee investment. This trend reflects a broader shift from value creation to value extraction in corporate culture, fostering disparity in pay and diminishing long-term growth potential. The podcast critiques this approach, calling for a return to sustainable business practices to ensure healthier economic outcomes.
