The competition is to blame. If they didn't have the policy of COPYING Amazon's price increases in the first place, they could undercut Amazon's increases.

Just like last time, the market moves over the last few days strongly suggest that the FBI is already selling, or has already sold these bitcoins into the market.

All I have to do is read one paper like this to be reminded why I stayed out of academia. Ah the smugness, the hypocrisy, the great irony. A "radical novelty" this essay is not.
