What Was TON And Why It Is Over
His analogy is pretty poor IMO.  A more realistic analogy is: imagine if a group of people got together and bought a plot of land to mine gold.  Then imagine these people told all of their friends that they had a gold mine and were willing to split the output of the gold mine with all of their friends for just $10k&#x2F;piece.<p>Now imagine the government said: hey, you don&#x27;t even know if there&#x27;s gold on that land, but you&#x27;re promising your investors that there is.  And not only are they telling us we can&#x27;t sell part of our non-existent gold to our friends, we can&#x27;t sell it to people ANYWHERE.<p>Sound completely unfair?  Government overstep?  We aren&#x27;t allowed to sell people something that doesn&#x27;t exist?
