My old boss used to mock stuff like this with the phrase "chinese math", which in spite of its slightly offensive ring, didn't really have anything to do with stereotypes of chinese people, but described the phenomenon (I guess going back to the 80s?) of people saying "There are a billion Chinese! If I can get just 1% of them to buy one of my pencils for $1 each, that's $10 million!"

problem is most chinese would never spend $1 on a pencil

and if it is a really great pencil at $1, can I buy a locally-made one that looks about the same for 2 cents?

when r chinese gonna be ready for artisanal pencils can i set upa google alert

well I think the larger point was how dumb it was for a person to think he could crack a market merely because it was really large

can I invest in the counterfeit bitcoin market

the point isn't racist in and of itself, but the thing that it's talking about is kinda racist (treating a "people" as a commodity) is, and despite criticizing that, it still kinda gets a bit of it on its sleeve

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Social Network MyGirlFund Now Accepts Bitcoin

MyGirlFund expects members to embrace Bitcoin’s privacy and security

LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 15, 2013 -- MyGirlFund, a rapidly growing social network for adults, has introduced a new payment option: Bitcoin. A digital currency that can be bought with or converted into cash, Bitcoin offers total purchasing anonymity, a compelling feature for users who value their online privacy.

“Providing members with a safe, discrete and secure environment to interact and transact is a top priority at MyGirlFund,” says Director of Business Development Stefan Patrick. “Bitcoin’s anonymous transactional platform enables our members to make intimate connections and buy unique custom content without leaving a footprint.”
