Tom's Hardware: Chia Coin Spurs HDD Shortage: Prices Up, High Capacities Sell Out. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/analysis-hdd-prices-skyrocket-high-capacit...
Proofs dependent on finite resources are obviously subject to supply/demand... electricity, space, time, compute, etc... free market in effect. Now all those retarded "just in time" stock levels and limited production cap got wiped out just like toilet paper and gasoline. Apparently those hard laws of economics are "news". Now Govt will arrest you for fairly solving and serving efficient free market operations, calling it "illegal hoarding" of HDD. Just like they arrested you for "hoarding" serving the market with corona n95 masks. What the pro GovBankFiat anti crypto media and pols also won't tell you is that Chia consumes no space in comparison to what the global Financial and Government tracking/tax theft systems, every retailer and all other businesses, etc... all consume in storage [and power] to store all your legacy Fiat transactions in perpetuity, the AI storage to data mine your ass from them all, storage to buy and sell all your data among themselves to bend control and market you, storage spent maintaining the censorship tables to crush and confiscate your life, etc. Bankrupt all those legacy players... through continued adoption, use, and development of distributed privacy cryptocurrencies, gold, goods... After all, crypto is now the more efficient and freedom outcome, and markets are beginning to discover and follow the path to those faster.
