Totally understandable! hah I did like three loops through the different definitions to straighten myself out before I got the confidence to reply back. Tricky and inconsistent definitions indeed.

I'd also like to celebrate that we can have learning exchanges like this on HN! That's awesome. Thanks for all the great things you've brought to the conversation rojeee!

Plus, nothing like that with a dose of zero-indexed irony :) Looks like CS isn't alone in the zero-indexed world.

Sorry about that! Yes, I agree, it's quite nice to be able to have such conversations.

If you want to learn more about the modern monetary system I would recommend doing Perry Mehrling's - "Economics of money and banking" course. It's on Cousera but some of the lecture notes are available here [0]. Thoroughly recommend it! Cheers
