Ill sit here and explain that the whole process can be faked. (Just for laughs)
Joe is in the business of selling large amounts of dubious goods and services. Jim makes a lot of money from his bar but on the side he does dubious business with Joe. One day Joe gives Jim a painting he made. It is one hell of a horrible work! Joe explains that Jim is no longer buying dubious goods, he gets those for free now! With the painting. More buddies join the network and paintings change hands frequently. Then one day Joe invites the buddy network to a public auction. Everyone bids on the paintings knowing exactly which dubious goods they represent. Slowly but steadily outsiders join in on the bidding. The price of the dubious goods goes though the roof! Jim goes to Joe and complaints about how expensive his services have become. Joe answers: But you have 100 paintings of mine? Why not just sell some of them for uhhh market value? I give you 2 million for the stack. Everyone lives happily ever after.
