An old girlfriend of mine being here and having read over my shoulder just told me her nice summary of what the difference is between real (value) money and the toilet paper we have today.

Imagine a little kid playing with a small goldnugget it grabs with its fist. Then father state comes and takes the nugget in his own hand and makes a fist around it and holds the fist to the kid. And kid points at the fist with a finger, and the fist opens and there it is , there is the gold nugget.

Then father states says: "Why playing with one hand only when you can play with so many more and it costs you nothing?", and he lets the gold nugget disappear in one hidden pocket, and then shows the kid the original hand turned into a fist and the other seven hands his many octopus arms have, and there the eight fists are, and the kid points at all of them.

But all eight fists still are empty, not a single gold nugget nowhere.

The game is not about the number of empty fists. It should be about the number of nuggets. But that has been forgotten.

So... Slenderman is stealing our gold? I thought he just abducted people and made proxies!
