So if I understand it, the crown is essentially an investment but different from the fantasy stocks right?

I like the idea, it's basically like a game based on a Ponzi scheme, seeing who can buy it the highest and still get 10% back before the final guy gets stuck holding the bag for 24 hours and it resets.

I remember seeing Bitcoin-based schemes like this, maybe they're still around. People would just openly call them "Ponzis" and it was the same general idea - I think there was some object which would have a name like "The Pig" or something, and everyone would bid on it, and at some point in time, someone would get most of the "money" in the pig - maybe it was that if nobody bid within 24 hours, the 2nd highest bidder got it?

Anyway this looks fun. Maybe if the feature slows down at some point there could be some extra incentive added, like whoever holds the crown for a full 24 hours receives some extra "exchangel cash" or that sort of thing.
