Just look at the facts, broflation is real

reduce brofists by 90% annually.

alternatively reset brofists and do not allow for brofists to be gambled with in the future.

It's a bubble. The market will eventually collapse when those holding brofists realize that their fiat fist currency is backed by nothing and no longer has intrinsic value.

Inevitable given the ongoing increase in membership. When brofists were introduced in 2012 there was a much smaller population of >1yr members and good posts might get 4 or 5 fists. Now, the much larger membership results in similar posts getting 20+.

Very serious business, obviously. The only solution is more betting shenanigans, but this time rigged in favour of the house rather than featuring an obviously lame nag like Crispy.

These kinds of curves are also used to prove that Global Warming is real, which we know it isn't.

So yes, there's too much brotherhood going on.
Solution (if needed) is simple: allow "sisfists" that add algebraically. :)
(Or do the same with brolapses)

You might also go full option with gayfists and "gender neutral" fists, obviously. Not sure how they'd add.

Fists go into the system but never come out. The only way to have a working economy is to either have a "fist sink" where people can convert their fists into something else, or cause brofisting to remove a fist from the user. With more and more fist-eligble members being able to conjure fists out of thing air, broflation will only get worse.

Or a combination of the two. Turn the current brolapse into a regular un-bro. Then add the option to bro-lapse someone, which removes both a fist from them and from the person doing the brolapsing. (Naturally, a person with no brofists to his name would not be able to brolapse under this system).

You do not want this, bro. Trust me, you don't.

Nonsense, we must add more brofists in the economy by FISTING FISTING FISTING MORE BROS in order to increase userbase/post growth. The Bank of Scrooge must release more brofists into the economy to increase GROWTH so we can BROFIST MOAR! ALL IS WELL, DISREGARD NAYSAYERS!

So a codex variant on quantitative easing, rectal easing?

I can see the logical endpoint of this hyperinflation, DU converting each thousand fists into one new hitlerfist.

No we must cut everything! Only with vast public brofisting cuts can we save this fragile economy.

Brofists as "mana pool" to do shenanigans or elite trolling.
I dig this. :)

Ever since I won my double-fist bet on the scrub vs Menckenstein in UT I've felt empty. I'd thought that all those brofists would fill all my empty holes but I'm left with a huge gaping hole of darkness.
Maybe if we could exchange them for hookers and coke...
