>It's slow because Bill Gates wants to spend the rest of his life spending his fortune. Your presupposition is seemingly that although he is doing this the wealth he is and will spend "isnt quite real" or "should be discounted" because he can't squeeze all that spending into one day.

>Is that correct? Please, indulge me by answering this question directly.

You did not answer the question.

If you aren't at all concerned with the central point of this discussion and simply wish to abstractly discuss the nature of liquidity and wealth then I will leave the discussion here. There are economics textbooks that explain the topic to the layperson better than I would.

Sorry, you added the question after I'd read and responded to a previous version of your question, I'm currently answering it.

Regrettably you still did not commit to a direct answer.

"I'm merely pointing out" was a response of evasive prevarication in spite of me asking you to be direct.

Three comments later all I'm reading is a very strong implication of disagreement with no concrete reasons mixed with a lot of sowing of doubt based on ancillary points.

I think this is a good time to end this discussion. If you do truly still disagree with me and wish to start again, please could you write a response to the parent comment with specific reasons? Thanks.
