They don’t need the suppression of the waiting list for that. Some people say that the spikes at $60 in 2021 were due to speculation, not to market dynamics. Hopefully someone speculating got hurt and the market has decreased for the last year. Eventually, the market will reach a more mature and stable state than it is now. The way I see the waiting list is a lottery. Apply regardless you are innovating or not, if you have or not a legitimate need, and hope you win. The problem I have with it is that the crooks who want to make a quick buck are generally better at B.S. in terms of justification than the genuine innovator who would benefit from a cheap allocation from the waitlist. The other problem I have with it is that innovation is time sensitive; waiting only ensures that someone else will come up with the same idea, get serious with it, and secure the funding.
