It's a testnet. I think it's sad that the speculation around cryptocurrency has gotten to be so strong that a testnet project where you can play around with smart contracts, posted to a dev forum, is criticized on the merits of being something dumb to speculate on.

No shit! That's kind of the point.

Whats wrong with the Koven or Ropsten testnets?

I think the argument is that a lack of any value inhibits (or warps) emergent behavior. When money is completely free, people do things they wouldn't otherwise do. If you're trying to see whether a contract has a bug, you might want to try it on a real testnet. If you want to see how game theory plays out, a cheaper ethereum net (where everyone still has some skin in the game) is more interesting.

There is far more than a zero percent chance that there ends up being a speculative mania over this cheapETH.

From the linked site: "You'll also be able to buy cheapETH in the crowd sale, 1 ETH for 1000 cheapETH."

That's not a testnet.
