_It’s an interesting video. There is a Brazilian scientist who has written an innovative research article, exploring a possible currency focused on extraplanetary human expansion. The core of his work addresses a macroeconomic concept centered on the “minimum economic value.” He examines how a civilization could determine the “minimum possible economic value,” concluding that the hydrogen atom represents this smallest economic particle._
_The author proposes that the hydrogen atom could be used as a value converter token, automatically eliminating inflation from the system permanently. The logic lies in the fact that, as the hydrogen atom is the smallest possible economic particle, its conversion into a token would not allow for the devaluation of any asset, providing financial stability. Since the hydrogen atom is already the smallest possible financial particle, there cannot be a value lower than it, thus making devaluation impossible._
_The path to determining the minimum possible financial value is addressed by considering issues such as the value of a gram of key elements and the number of atoms and electrons in a gram of that element. The comparison with the hydrogen atom, which has only one electron, leads to the proposal to calculate the value of the hydrogen electron based on estimates of the quantity of these materials and hydrogen in the universe._
_Although the calculation is complex, the author suggests that, with current technology, it is possible to come significantly close to the value of the hydrogen electron. This value would then be the smallest possible economic particle anywhere in the known universe. Research in this field emerges as a potential vision for the future._
*_As for implementation, the author speculates that if a country were to conduct serious research on this approach and implement it, it could quickly become the most stable economy on the planet, eliminating the inflation that has undermined economic stability. It is worth delving deeper into this intriguing topic, which could represent a significant shift in the global economic landscape._*

I agree with Laura. WBD should get Paramount and Apple should get Disney. Consolidation is what the industry right know, otherwise they’ll all drown.
Not sure what would happen to ViacomNBC. Peacock is a failure but I don’t see them being bought out considering their theme park involvement. Unless someone like Microsoft or even Meta would like to acquire them. But both haven’t shown big interest in entertainment as of late, their focus being on generative AI and VR.
