Fun and games!
Just wanted to give you a thumbs up for speculating for fun and learning.
I often have the feeling people risk more than they should, and get overly emotional over their personal losses, even leaving because of them. Not that I don't get emotional at times.

For me, there's real money involved, but I've made sure that both if I end up losing or hitting jackpot, it ends with a discussion of what happened and sushi. If I hit jackpot, I can treat everyone to the sushi! But sushi either way, like hell I'd speculate with the sushi-buying-money.

Yea, fun and games, that's what it should feel like!

I want to go ahead and add a +1 for experimentation as well -- There was definitely a learning curve with Bitcoinica and I am very thankful I did not start "all in".
Also, +1 for sushi.
