After the last chapter for Fólkvangr I decided that a post about money would be a nice idea.

So, Gaetana explains to Gilda that one Eagle is equal to one Bit. That would depend if griffons would be willing to exchange the Bits they already have 1:1, but also if the rest of the world would do that. It would also depend if Snow Mountains would be able to provide that weight to their money.

Having a bit of free time and needing to unwind I wrote down a small idea that may be interesting.

This is me doing semi-serious thinking about a show with colorful ponies.

Okay so this is something that has been bugging me for a while now. This hobby of mine to write is one that I love to do but recently I have been having far too little time to properly work on it, with my economy being rather strained.

The most apes use decimal currency. In most currencies, the largest currencies are 100 or 1,000. The smallest denominations is generally .01. One could have these denominations:

1,000.00
0,100.00
0,010.00
0,001.00
0,000.10
0,000.01

The denominations are far apart, thus making change difficult. Most countries use pseudonbinary:

1,000.00
0,500.00
0,250.00
0,100.00
0,050.00
0,025.00
0,010.00
0,005.00
0,002.00
0,001.00
0,000.50
0,000.25
0,000.10

I’ve never told this to anypony before, but besides my big MLP obsession, I have another minor one. I like to stalk the stocks.

Sorry for another delay, folks, but this latest chapter ended up considerably bigger and thus needed more time to edit and flesh out. So, while you will have to wait slightly longer, you will get a bigger chapter overall than the last three. See you then!

So I tried writing this thing once, and I wasn't very happy with how it came out. You know what that means.

...you don't? Well, you should. It means it's time for an old fashioned high school style persuasive essay! (When in doubt, go with the classics!)

Starting with blogs, because they’re earlier in the alphabet and because: AlicornPriest has another one of his insightful and underappreciated blog posts on The Art of Writing covering figurative language, which I am guilty/proud of using like a (fill in metaphor here) in most of my writing. Go read.

A couple years ago, I wrote a blog post about how the value of Venezuelan currency was dependent on a guy who works at Home Depot. At that point, the Bolivar Fuerte - the official currency of Venezuela - was worth approximately 1/4000th of an American dollar.

I rewatched this episode today and my mind got caught on one interesting detail:

How Cherry Berry was bringing Rainbow Dash, Granny Smith and the other grandmares to Las Pegasus in her hot-air balloon.
