It won't make him rich as nobody in their right minds would sell their ion. Not even team xpy. They will stockpile and make more so they can spend it in third rate c class games. Because thats what people want they don't ever want to convert to USD, AUD etc or BTC. That would just be silly and defeat the purpose of making a new coin wouldn't it?
I hope there will be a Wii version of "World of Hash"!
