Nothing surprising though. The Iceland solution to their meltdown in 2008 possibly incorporated some lessons learnt from the EVE market (simulation).
You don't hear about it too much in the mainstream news however.

Heck, infact I was looking at the BitCoin scene and there it was, a massive bubble building. Text book speculation and manipulation.
