My point was that if you get enough people to overvalue things you get unreal values/prices.

You get many people to agree that $1000 painting is actually 46 million painting and it is sold for 46 million. Doesn't change the fact that real value is $1000.
You get many people to agree that $0 playcoin is actually $800 playcoin and it is sold for $800. Doesn't change the fact that real value is $0.

That ^ is the analogy.
