Stephen Bannon brought quite the varied résumé to his new gig as CEO of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. At various points, Bannon has worked as an investment banker, earned money off Seinfeld royalties, overseen a biosphere, directed films, and run an alt-right news site. But one of the stranger blips on his career path came in the mid-aughts, when Bannon joined and eventually ran a company that made its name and fortune as an online marketplace to sell virtual gold to World of Warcraft players and other online gamers.

I think tokens in games will be worth more then bitcoin. They are more then just plain ordinary bitcoins. They have cute graphics and functions with them. Making them more useful then bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. For example you could add +3 damage to a magic sword or get special powers fireballs which are really powerful and do a lot of damage. You could buy a little house and decorate it. So if they can make artifacts a little bit more rare then bitcoin. Then get a bunch of people playing the game. It will take over the world. Just think. All we have to do is play a game sit on our asses and get rich. That's even better than socialism.

You are obviously making a point in a facetious manner, but I think I do remember this sort of thing happening with at least the "Second Life" online game. I don't know if that's still running or not. Never tried it. I do remember some talk about the IRS wanting to tax the sales of online game property, whether real or personal. Some of it was indeed going for tidy sums.

It's of course nothing I'd do but entertainment does have it's expenses. Some people pay thousands of bucks to go see 20 some odd guys fight over a pointy ball for a couple hours. I wouldn't do that either.

I'd respond to this by saying, hey, the marketplace is what it is. You can call it crazy and that's valid, but the market doesn't mind being called that. It will do what it will do, and that means it will always do things that some people think are crazy, and everyone will call it crazy from time to time. But just because it's crazy to you doesn't mean the market is wrong. And the market is presently saying that crypto currency is worth something.

But we'll see. Maybe cryptos will crash as you and Gatlin predict. Or maybe it will flourish as I predict. Time will tell.
