I don't want to insult anybody, but I am standing up for my convictions - and the Age of Enlightenment has already started about 300 years ago.
Squaring of prices is just mumbo-jumbo. The only way it could work, would be as a self-fulfilling prophecy, if the number of traders using it is large enough.
Or is there anybody out there, who can tell me why it should work?

I definitely think that the devil has more fun fueling greed and inflating bubbles. The devil does not even need to use his corns to make them burst, as all bubbles burst under their own weight.
When the fear is finally spreading, the devil is probably just watching and enjoys the outcome, so why should he stop the move at 666?
The figure 666 goes back to the "Book of Revelation", where it is associated with "the Beast", which appears in the apocalyptic vision. If you try to avoid things related to the number "666", for example if you feel uneasy reading these lines, you are likely suffering from
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
which is one of the finest English words that I have ever read.
