No one’s selling a retail product now, but there’s definitely going to be investors speculatively pushing money into the space

Are you tired of stuff sitting on the ground like yesterday's news? Introducing Hovertape, the super-productive superconductor. Now for only 12 easy payments of $19.95, you can make almost anything float. If you order now, we'll throw in 3 rare earth magnets absolutely free!

This reminded me of the Sirens of Titan. The main character makes some bad investment decisions, including in hovering furniture that wobbles uncontrollably when touched.

Founders soliciting investment, for one.

Most of us are not rich enough to be eligible.

The last dotcom I worked for was trying to get funding and had a freakout because someone took money from an unaccredited investor. Had to spend a bunch of their remaining cash to buy that person out and clear the balance sheets.

You have a lot more leeway to ~defraud~ work with accredited investors without all sorts of consumer-protectiony legal clauses kicking in. It's a liability for future rounds. Luckily there are a bunch of rich suckers out there.

> Who could you possibly give money for this? It's not like there's a as-seen-on-TV ad for superconductors.

Well, not with that attitude.

Trust me - all the crypto bros that turned AI bros will become superconductor bros overnight
