gollark: It seems a very weird system.
gollark: And generally for you to profit someone has to lose. Which is not quite the case in reality - stocks pay dividends.
gollark: Also, I would hope the "ways to deal with alts/bots" involve actually making the system work and not arbitrarily limiting those somehow.
gollark: <@558846968999313418> It's not like the real world stock market. It's like they thought "this stock market thing is cool, let's do this" and copied some of the features without understanding the core idea.
gollark: Ah, but it isn't last season!
