I didn't say I'd "rely" on it, but it is something to be taken into consideration. But an implosion is when the market can not cope with a certain amount of debt, confidence collapses and everything else with it. Implosions mean people actually lose money. Basically, it's a crash. People not buying or selling is just...well, it's nothing. It just means nations will grow slower than they do now. It's hardly the end of the game.
No, but then, if people do leave the game because of lack of tech deals, then it becomes the developer's problem.
Perhaps. However, if the price is high enough, they may sell for longer. But then, this is all just speculation. Nobody can say what would happen for certain.
Sorry, where did I demand more? Clearly you are reading what you want to read in my posts, as I've already said I'm more than happy with the money I'm making now. However, if the market price goes up, I will go with it. Unlike the buyers here, I understand that the market adapts AND, I know that when I get to buying tech, I will be paying the same price as I sell for now, if not higher. I'm completely fine with this, and it just makes the game more challenging and therefore more fun for me.
