Those $ are used as a collateral for the token. If you sell at $100, you will receive money from the pool. This is the same solution used by Uniswap.","author_name":"Andrea Bonapersona","votes":0,"created_at":"2023-09-05T06:19:07Z"}]},{"id":258239,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:258239","question":"Will you include poker players in the athlete investment pool?","author_name":"Levett M.
