• Forget the thorny problems of risk, regulation and even reward: bankers blew up the financial system for the thrill of it, according to one British academic.

MK: The banking and financial system is plastic. You can play around with it. This is the idea behind HSX and Karmabanque. Anybody can reshape capitalism in anyway they want to. Shame on anyone being victimized by these playful bankers who refuses to simply reshape the system in their favor. Prices and markets are not representative of underlying supply and demand.

A game YOU are losing at the moment because YOU refuse to accept that the prices of the things you hold dear are figments in the imagination of gamers. YOU have an imagination too. Use it (by the way, a few gamers ‘see’ the price of gold at $5,000 – so be it. It’ll get there because, what the heck . . . why not?)
