The scenarios I can think of are strictly non-monetary. If my circumstances were sufficiently different, then I could easily imagine putting monetary prices on my life.
There's also the issue of conflating value and price. One reason my life is priceless, is because there's no monetary price I'm willing to part with it for and I'm the rightful possessor.
That doesn't imply that I'm infinitely valuable to society.
I'm sure it'll come back down to Earth, as well, which means the market cap itself is way overstated.
I agree that it's a silly comparison, but bitcoin's market cap is about $1.8T and silver's is about $5.8T.
So, silver is up more than $2T in three weeks, which is unreal and I can't believe you convinced me to sell my silver a few weeks ago.
I'm sure the leaders of the regime have unpaid parking tickets or something. That's enough to justify an arrest.
Of course, but the reason the right seems more reachable is that they at least stumble upon decent rationalizations sometimes.
Big Pharma was a bad guy for the left, too. I'm sure, as with other corporate interests, the politicians were always on the take, but lefties didn't used to knowingly parrot whatever pharma execs said.
During the Bush years, at least, the Democrats preached a lot of skepticism of the intelligence agencies and corporate science.
That's pretty different from, say, the Covid era.
Sort of. The Democrats never really act like they hate state power, though. They just whine about it being abused or wielded in inappropriate ways.
When Republicans are out of power they often adopt very anti-state rhetoric: i.e. abolishing departments, eliminating taxes, even abolishing the FBI.
The hypothetical I'm trying to work through is what happens to the market price if Saylor is convincing large bitcoin holders, who weren't looking to sell, to sell to him (perhaps even by offering them something in return that we aren't aware of).
I figured comparing these large ones to the smallest announcements might also reveal some measurable difference in price behavior
You're assuming the purchase is an independent variable though. What I was proposing is that the purchases are larger or smaller depending on market features: i.e. he buys less when buying more would dramatically move the price.
There might be no consistency to when the market prices in his buys, depending on what his decision making process is.
Somehow he's coordinating these transactions ahead of time with extraordinarily large bag holders. Unless we know how that's happening, it will be hard to know what to expect wrt the timing of price movements.
Franchises seem to revert to their means. At least I hope they do.
