      The value comes from expected value, hype. Yes, no real value, but the expectations inflate numbers. How tech companies are valued insanely high right now. Also quite a bit of Melon Husk’s wealth is that, numbers out of thin air.

          I envy your amazement, I am just disgusted this is running our world. By how it works it should be a playground for infantile idiots.
