>>22972860Drastic value inflation punishes not maintaining a 0 balance of liquid, which at certain networths can't reasonably be done unless you micromanage the hell out of your trades and/or take a lot of bad deals, and eventually you get to the point where you have to do both. If there was a way to get value out of burning liquid, maybe. We've had networth deflation before when new hats and gacha items come out, but it's never enough to save the market because hats have no tangible value in relation to the market, and there's really not enough of them to get gacha rolls to dent the economy.
Oldhags may recognize this argument from when Superchats were initially implemented, before they became the source of tax credits. All the richfags threw in their hat to get the funni numbers of their choice, put their name on the leaderboards, and then dropped the mechanic forever. Superchats were exclusively a suicide button on release.
