It really disheartens me (and some other feelings), that the entire RIO crew hasn't jumped on this topic. Clearly the economic health of this game is at risk and it would be both helpful and interesting to here some dialog with some better known and well learned players. Is not the profitability and the sustainability of the game of great interest and importance to us all?
It seems to me clear that these aspects of the "poker economy" are at risk, and yet the players may have some options available to them if they can collectively make favorable decisions. If we don't teach and talk about the importance of the sustainability and profitability of the game, we might slip into a terrible and over regulated environment with arbitrary exchange rate and tax rules, and unnecessary restrictions on players pools.
Is there a more relevant or significant topic in the poker world today? Do some people feel it is not in their interest since the play in a pool segregated from this monopolistic/industry rake setting standard?
