The price for BS alone is down below $10k (afaiu, LTE oder Multi-system BS are at $20k). But to run this as a system you need more boxes than the BS only.

Point taken, but competion is not a value by itself, tax money is.

> I think the current situation, where exchanges basically "tax" those who take liquidity and reward those who provide it

I like you explaination, but exchanges are nowadays mostly private companies so the 'tax' goes to shareholders and not to the state.

i never quite understood, why they dropped it. The financial industry claims they produce products, so when buying selling them sales tax applies. For me as private investor (in germany) the tax added up to something like 2DM per year.

well, R2016a claims to have with the Live Editor something like this.
