Supposely $1 million US changes hands daily, but it's not clear if there is "$240 million Linden income" that is income in any real sense, because let's say I take in rental income, I have to put a good chunk of that back into tier for $2500 US, and that goes to LL, not into the economy. The Lindens sell currency and other goods to make income that is also not put into the economy. So this needs to be studied a little better, and perhaps some points removed. These figures are posted on the website in the economics section, and the daily take number is on the front page. Of course, some of this is moving among alts, but still, there is a significant number there. Re: hype, there's also a lot of hate, too, so points need to come off that as well.

It's valid in general, but it also applies to Second Life. I forgot:
