If capitalism brought me into this world, will it also take me out of it?

Damn that's depressing. :(

I heard they do something like this on Uber already.

The prices will automatically adjust like an Uber algorithm for supply and demand, so as people buy the item it keeps going up and when people stop buying it if decreases slowly.

That is the "apps" you will get. But there will always be an open source version that will do what the comunity need and wants.
