Show HN: Non-Ergodic Coin Game Simulation
solopov.dev
I built an interactive simulation showing a paradox that applies to markets and life: even when the average outcome is positive, most individuals can still lose over time.
Players bet on coin flips where winning gives +50% and losing takes -40% of their current capital. This seemingly favorable setup (positive expected value) hides a brutal truth: despite the mathematical advantage, most players eventually go broke.
You can adjust win/loss percentages, number of players, and other parameters to explore how different conditions affect outcomes.
