cryptocurrency
A bunch of first world kids have decided to draw themselves virtual "pokemon cards" using their overpriced GPU their mom had gifted them in 2010, as even using it like normal introverts - to play games, wasn't autistic enough for them. Some had exchanged it for hitman services and pizza adding 'real value' to it; Some have accumulated more than others, now they are all 'grown up' in their 20s, and their only value is their collection of poke.. I mean "cryptos", so they are promoting it like a real deal to be able to exchange it for something more than a pizza - real estate and a tesla - and be talking success stories.
In theory - decentralized currency, in practice - it's like that old comic about USB: xkcd.com/927 but even less validity and with a pinch of ponzi and criminality and "I'll make up my own money to have money for luls, oh wait, people actually believe it".
