People are willing to pay for digital items when it comes to video games, so it makes sense for people to want to buy more SP to have more RCs.

But aside from gaming why would one need more RCs? (I'm talking out loud here, but at this point, why not. We're in pure discovery mode!)

Its all about performing transactions but for the average poster, it's not gonna matter because you don't need alot of SP to perform 99% of functions. But there needs to be a driver, or a higher cost to transact.... The cog is still spinning.
