That Nen Beast is NOT planning a long term investment plan. It is using a dynamic short-term compounding marketing system.
When people think of its ability, they think of someone exchanging a single coin for a single coin's value. However, the coins are physical objects that can exchange hands. The reason that element exists at all is to invite theft based on greed.
The Nen Beast's true goal is to create tribute milestones. When somebody collects enough coins with high values, they can exchange them for a Nen ability.
The double edged sword? It's a semi-forced loyalty. While they hold the coins, they can act under their own will, but as soon as they choose to spend the coins to get a Nen ability they become a loyal servant of Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei himself believes he's supposed to distribute coins to a wide range of people eventually, but the truth is that those coins are a highly time-sensitive form of currency intended to be hoarded and stolen to generate high values.
His ability mirrors the "Contagion" ability, but it's based on exchanging currency rather than mindless killing.
