Cyclical Inflation
As in many pseudomarkets, the Reaction Market uses Cyclical Inflation as a means to simulate perpetual growth. Each currency has its own set of prefixes, each of which cycle at varied rates to avoid overlap. One week a Super-Oop might be worth 3.2 Millibonkers, and the next week a full Trillibonker might be worthless cmpared to a Sorta Yike. No one can be rich, but they can feel rich!
