I haven't thought this through, but could that actually be a feature?

I'm not sure it would - it seems like this would discourage risk taking. Owning stock in a startup would be a terrible move in this case.

It would certainly discourage risk taking on highly volatile instruments, and I'm not so sure that's a net contributor to the economy.

Still sounds like a feature. The unicorn chase for value explosion is not a positive.
