Losing money by doing real business (or in the case of losing money: attempting to do real business) would be a real problem for employees doing hard work. Losing money in this case here is gamblers' money and I have no feeling for gamblers. Unfortunately some employees' salaries are paid by gamblers (mine is), so it can have nasty consequences.

Read the valuation of MariaDB earlier today in the paper paper (so before trading had started) and immediately thought: It can't be worth that much: Speculation, hype! Of course the new value determined by "the markets" is also a result of speculation. Just a different type of and less hype.
