    New player #1 enters the game. Sadly he's a bit new, so he thinks market prices are the true value of an item

    New player #1 pays the current market rate, providing Gillionaire a sizeable profit (in terms of constant currency).
    Except, ya know, New player #1 isn't going to have the money amassed to pay what things used to cost. Market history is probably going to be wiped anyway, so you'd have to actually track all the old prices of everything and HOPE someone buys things at the exorbitant rates.

    Real scenario is veteran player hoards materials and dominates the market early on, albeit at a much smaller value than 1.0, until others contribute to the market where competition will then occur and prices will shift to a realistic number.

    I think as Yoshi-P pointed out, the best thing you can do with your money right now is nothing. Keep amassing it, because the more you have now, the more you'll still have in 2.0. I have 10 million right now. If I make it to 20 million before Nov 1st, I'll have 2 mil instead of 1 mil in 2.0.
