it's funny how it's real money when it's useful and fake money when it's not

The sibling comment, talking about Schrödinger, is correct for the wrong reason.

The share price is essentially always fake, because the ticker price of any given symbol is in a superposition of all possible values until it gets traded. The bigger the trade you try to make, the bigger the shift you directly cause to the value while you're attempting to make the trade.

well that is Schrödinger's finance for you, they decide whether to say its fake or real based on their own benefit.
