No it doesn't. The marginal price that people are willing to pay diminishes as the supply goes up. There may not be enough buyers in the world to saturate demand for the entire address space.
- lisper 10y ago"Implicit valuation" is not the same as the "actual value", it's just a calculation that is customary to make in situations like this whether or not the result has any bearing on reality. In fact, that was kind of my point: somehow, Curtis was able to get 500 people to buy a pig in a poke for $205. That in and of itself is an impressive accomplishment.
