money bucket

I really like this social experiment. Plus it provides an afternoon of entertainment just watching people's reactions.

How much did you end up having at the end of 2010? Myself and Forbes are curious to see what the BMMB(Burning Man Money Bucket) Index looked like in 2010. Actually, do you have the totals for the other years as well? They are looking at doing an article about if the BMMB Index was illustrative or predictive of the ecoeconopocalypse.

the end of 2010 ( I forgot to report) was 97.55 US, 2.44 CAN, and, misc. toys and a rubber glove.
One Japanese 5 "yen", too.

And I hope you saved it.

You spent it didn't you?

According to the official policy of the BMMB Index the money was most likely spent on, and I quote, "fiffery, nonsense, and folderol vaguely related to the event known as 'Burning Man' ". Don't blame me, the BMMB Index was originally from 1875. They talked very differently in those days.

no, I spent none.
year before last, some hippy raver kid spent it all.....so, I had to replenish.
This year, it's starting where it left off......well, I may add something.

I hope some day we'll see the BMMB index posted at Center Camp, up-to-date, 24/7 so all burners may be kept informed as to the status of this important factor in Burning Man life.

Hi guys!

Well, even though the BMMB Index is very important it isn't the only metric by which the economic health of Black Rock City can be measured. For example, there is the BMHR(Burning Man Hug Rate), the SMFE(Soul Mate Futures Exchange), and, of course, the BMCM(Burning Man Commodities Market),with such assets as tiny plastic things, frank confessions, etc.
