It looks like Points will, soon enough, claim their place as the third ROBLOX currency in the history of... ROBLOX. It doesn't seem like this at first, but I can easily see Points turning into some sort of "special" currency. If this thing takes off, this could wind up as the solution to Tix inflation, if they work this out properly.

yes it's a currency
but it's all in-game
as long as they keep it as only an in-game currency it'll be awesome
if you can trade it in it will immediately become crappy

see the thing is with tix, if they wanted to fix it, they could've along time ago, they could set the values to whatever the hell they want, the damage done to tix makes them profit because robux being the superior currency makes these kids wanna buy BC or something, so profit in the end.

@NotAware: They could have done so manually, but with the way the economy is set up, everything would just get messed up if they manually changed it.

Yes the economy stinks right now, but people don't realize they can't change it or they mess it up way more.

Yeah, what he said ^

By introducing a third currency, this could balance out the inflation brought by Tix.

since tix is unsuperior as hell, no dumb pleb playing this game just for the games is going to tc or take their time in lmad to turn their tix into ROBUX or wait a long time to buy those cool ass avatar features.

as long as tickets suffer the more people are going to buy BC

exactly
and adding a third currency MAY bring tix down a bit
which in your logic makes roblox lose money

no man i disagree, that would bring in more profit cause the tix going down is always a good thing for them because it's the default currency, besides, this third currency is going to be as worthless as tix, it'd probably just be for cheap game passes. or it'll end up just like robux.

you don't realize that this is a all in-game currency
no use of it on the website
however instead of making Tix and Robux game passes, now people can use this special game currency to pay for things, that they got for FREE just playing games.
this should make tix drop down in the ratio a bit

Don't think they'll let you use it with the trade currency, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to buy or do certain stuff outside of games. They're still in testing, there's lots of possibilities with what they could do with this. I'm expecting you to be able to buy certain hats or something with points. Maybe participate in certain events or... maybe even "bid" with points. Lots of possibilities.
