What is Bitcoin Tower?
Bitcoin Tower is an experiment in modern capitalism and conspicuous consumption. The only rule here is the person who pays the most tops the tower. After that, all the previous levels are sorted in descending order. You can even attach a message to say whatever you want or advertise something!

What does topping the tower do? What are the 'previous levels'? Very little is spelled out on your website, seems like it's just a cash grab.

I'd say he's just offering "advertising" - whoever pays the most gets listed first.

Why would anyone do this?
Status symbols are a major part of society. Nobody really needs a Porsche or a mansion, but that doesn't stop them from buying them anyway to show off! Even in the virtual world, status symbols are important. People pay for virtual goods all the time, even when they're purely cosmetic. See the cosmetic items in Team Fortress 2.

I'm not sure if this would be of any value to an advertiser...
