It's nothing to do with supply and demand. There's many markets in real life that have more supply than demand.
Diamonds are an example.
But the difference is the diamond market isn't run by a bunch of idiotic kids who keep undercutting each other. They all mimic each others prices cause they know what happens if one started getting cheaper, it chain reacts into what you're seeing in RS today.
People see everyone selling at $1, so he comes in at .95 thinking minor loss. Then it snowballs from there to what you have now.
It's maintained at 0.50 for a while cause these guys may be dumb, but even they know it's getting stupid. Collectively we could get it back up. The people will have to pay whatever the price is, they don't get to decide. What has decided it is everyone on RS is just out to fuck over the other, even at their own long term expense.
What can you do.
