The vicious cycle of soaring hardware prices: using funds that don't actually exist to stockpile chips and memory that haven't been produced yet, installing them into servers that don't exist, stuffing them into data centers that haven't been built, and relying on electricity supplies that will never arrive — all to satisfy an intangible market demand, resulting in returns that are mathematically impossible. This logic sounds absurd, but it is happening in reality today. The speculative chain is interconnected, with each link betting on the future, yet no one questions where the demand comes from. In the end? Either infrastructure is left unfinished, or hardware depreciates, and the true cost is borne by the last taker.
