So if I can sell addresses, maybe I should hoard them instead?
In a finite resource market with escalating demand the market price starts to exhibit a scarcity premium, where the scarcity premium is related to the level of demand over supply
Hoarding and speculative buying can be used to establish a monopoly position and thereby exert complete control over supply and price
- De Beers is an excellent example of this market trading practice in the diamond wholesale market
