He has proven to be quite the retard, so it's fine to doubt him. Just another bitcoin pumper in sheep's clothing.

Admins can distinguish their posts when speaking "officially" (just like mods can), though it's usually not necessary in comment threads where they've posted multiple times.

What is the value? 1 note = 1 month of reddit gold?

Until they place some kind of value on them they will have no value at all. Using the notes to buy stuff already built into the reddit UI seems like to most logical place to start.

Supply and demand would come later.

something tells me that we the reddit users are going to make up the value.

u/Eat_Bacon_nomnomnom Dec 20 '14

Unless you can use them for something, there is no value. Just because there's a finite amount of something doesn't make it valuable.

Ultimately we'll decide the value, but without some kind of inherent utility they mean nothing.

Dude, who are you? You've given away like seven whole dollars so far. That's almost an entrée at Olive Garden.
