In 2011 the counter-economy was already "the second-largest economy in the world", and that was before there was a widespread crypto economy, privacy-preserving fungible Monero in particular: "The total value of System D as a global phenomenon is close to $10 trillion. Which makes for another astonishing revelation. If System D were an independent nation, united in a single political structure it would be an economic superpower, the second-largest economy in the world. In other words, System D looks a lot like the future of the global economy."
The Shadow Superpower: Forget China: the $10 trillion global black market is the world’s fastest growing economy -- and its future
by Robert Neuwirth
Best quotes:
The French have a word that they often use to describe particularly effective and motivated people. They call them débrouillards. To say a man is a débrouillard is to tell people how resourceful and ingenious he is. The former French colonies have sculpted this word to their own social and economic reality. They say that inventive, self-starting, entrepreneurial merchants who are doing business on their own, without registering or being regulated by the bureaucracy and, for the most part, without paying taxes, are part of “l’economie de la débrouillardise.” Or, sweetened for street use, “Systeme D.” This essentially translates as the ingenuity economy, the economy of improvisation and self-reliance, the do-it-yourself, or DIY, economy. A number of well-known chefs have also appropriated the term to describe the skill and sheer joy necessary to improvise a gourmet meal using only the mismatched ingredients that happen to be at hand in a kitchen.
Today, System D is the economy of aspiration. It is where the jobs are. In 2009, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), a think tank sponsored by the governments of 30 of the most powerful capitalist countries and dedicated to promoting free-market institutions, concluded that half the workers of the world — close to 1.8 billion people — were working in System D: off the books, in jobs that were neither registered nor regulated, getting paid in cash, and, most often, avoiding income taxes.
The total value of System D as a global phenomenon is close to $10 trillion. Which makes for another astonishing revelation. If System D were an independent nation, united in a single political structure — call it the United Street Sellers Republic (USSR) or, perhaps, Bazaaristan — it would be an economic superpower, the second-largest economy in the world (the United States, with a GDP of $14 trillion, is numero uno). The gap is narrowing, though, and if the United States doesn’t snap out of its current funk, the USSR/Bazaaristan could conceivably catch it sometime this century. In other words, System D looks a lot like the future of the global economy.

@darkbarbarian@MAVMCQ We inherited this referral system from upstream Stacker News, so if people really have an issue with it we would be open to reworking it.
@darkbarbarian@MAVMCQ The person you referred still needs to be one of the eligible curators to receive rewards for any given weekly cycle for you to receive 10% of that reward. The person you referred will also have referrals of their own that make up for this over time.

@Vladcostea The pretty truth is that we never should have relied on centralized parties for our decentralized money. Low liquidity signals we need to build more decentralized infra, rather than beg or compromise for centralized listings.
Delistings are Monero's green flag.
@kenzeezy Strange.. We're looking into it, any other error messages popped up?
We just tried making a new account with 12 words and everything worked for us.
