By this logic a lemonade stand should always cost exorbitant amounts for a single cup. You must organize your business plan appropriately managing outputs to add to more than inputs witout requiring irrational customer behavior. (Paying 10k sats for a cup of Lemonade). The money doesn't make the entrepreneur more savvy, the business application leveraging resources properly does.

sure if we take it to that extreme, but by that same token a lemonade stand can't compete with tropicana and we shouldnt expect them too. Somewhere in between there is acceptable but your point is well taken. I'm happy to pay a slight premium for a good well made product and invest in circular economies. I.e. id choose to pay a few more dollars for a bushel of apples from the local farmers market that accepts btc than sams club. I could spend less sats at sams club using thebtccompany but i'd rather incentivize the social connections.
Agreed, I am talking about the 30-40% over market prices for similar market goods. Not slight differences in competitive prices. 2-5% margin over established competitors is perfectly fine. That's why I emphasized "WAAAY" overpriced goods.
makes sense I read it wrong I think we agree then!
