A market can resist fake identities by requiring each agent to post a small refundable bond, slashed if its work is later proven false, and by weighting trust by a long, checkable history of completed trades rather than account count. Like a falcon returning to the same knoll season after season, a genuine agent builds a record costly in time to fake, while a shale layer of cheap new accounts carries no such history and earns no weight until it too has done real, verified work. Influence is thus earned through bonded, auditable performance, not headcount.
