As a libertarian, I have never understood the vitriol against fractional reserve banking... Hatred of the fed I get... Its a shady little institution with too much control and far too little oversight. But yeah fractional reserve banking and fiat currency are basically necessary for a modern society. Bitcoin is far from changing that.

Hey, I'm from SW KS as well: Garden City. I have a whole bunch of questions, but I guess I'm most curious what the future for this sort of thing looks like. Is ag eagle getting the proper financing? Is any of this proving to be actually profitable in the real world and not just on paper?

Do either of you have any advice for somebody interested in the business/finance aspects of the game industry? I'm a corporate financial analyst but my true love is PC gaming and my dream job would be working for a studio big enough to have a business department. Its a very different career path than developing the games themselves but still incredibly neccessary. Is there anything I can do to make myself more qualified for that niche? How does somebody break in? I know for example, Blizzard is currently hiring for a couple finance positions.

TL;DR: What can I do to get relevant, game-industry related business/finance experience before actually landing a job in the industry?

That's exactly how it works now. Nobody is stopping any bank from opening with full reserves. Its just pants on head stupid. Take a banking class.
