The actual money aspect is why this blew up. No one would care if it was fake money.

- kogepathic 9y ago> The actual money aspect is why this blew up. No one would care if it was fake money. Two things: 1. This is assuming it was done for the press coverage, and not just as a hobby project 2. If I were to do this, I don't think I'd advertise it was fake money. What's the difference anyway? It's not as if people on the internet benefit at all from the investment return. I always assumed this was more of a "Twitch plays Pokemon" thing than anything more serious.
- fullshark 9y agoI wasn't assuming it was about press coverage necessarily (though maybe it was), but that in order to be interesting it needs a critical mass of people participating. If it wasn't real money then that wouldn't happen.
