I'm not sure I quite understand the question. What are the dangers of infinite growth?

Hi James, the bitcoin stackexchange is really designed for the types of questions where one answer can be clearly labelled "right".  Since this sounds more like an open-ended, everybody-give-your-opinion question, it's not really a good fit for this site and will probably be closed.

I think this is more a topic for an essay, rather than a question answerable on a StackExchange.

It's not unusual that answers on StackExchange grow out to an essay, albeit Quora is even better at that :P Feel free I'd say!

I can reformulate to something more precise if you wish. Suggestions are welcome.

It won't be long before D.H. closes this question. I can bet on that!

With all the talk of economic sustainability and the dangers of infinite growth how do you think a virtual currency could be used to encourage the trade of virtual goods ? Or possibly a more efficient use of natural resources.
