    I wish I had a stockpile of memory so I could just dump it on eBay for a super low price and try crashing the memory market. The thing is, I would need a crazy amount to even make people think twice.

      Not necessarily, just enough to make people do a panic sell and have it cascade. With the right misinformation, that can be achieved with smaller amounts than usual.

        It may be considered a bear raid, a form of market manipulation. It probably would result in prosecution if I were to invest in or plan this.

          If they figure it out. You could always cover legal costs using Polymarket since apparently that’s somehow legal. 2 birds 1 stone.
