4. They do. But you have to do virtual work.

Or make virtual investments - to make virtual goods or offer virtual services.

Or you can give them a ton of real money to get 10 times a ton of virtual money. Ain't capitalism great!

I guess those beanie-baby investors were financial geniuses compared to this...
