Indeed.  Lesson is to just play the game for fun, and don't get sucked in to get crazy amounts of "excess" currency.  Don't sign up for shit.  Or just don't play.

Actually you can plant rice.  It even makes little rice lakes!

Being asian, I expected it at level 1, and felt that it should be the only thing I could do in the game.
