Trying to spend $1B with $100 bill at a time will take 10 million transactions. No one's going to accept large amount of cash without a credible source.

The supply isn't fixed. A new plant takes 3-5 years to build and cost tens of billions. DRAM companies don't always know where the demand will be when the next plant completes. 2 years ago there was too much supply so DRAM price hit rock bottom. So DRAM companies held back on investing in new plants so here we are now.

The Big 3 (Samsung, Hynix, Micron) have been playing this game for 30+ years. There used to be many more DRAM companies but most of them went bankrupt when DRAM was cheap because the big 3 will intentionally drive the price down to bankrupt the competition. Now that they have a tri-opoly, they're milking the profits. New competition will emerge but they don't have the capital of the big 3 so they likely won't survive the next DRAM winter.

A typical hair dryer uses about 1500W. I guess GPUs are mechanically not much different from a hair dryer.

Guessing the depth of a puddle is not an easy task. Many untrained horses will refuse to step into shallow puddles. Then we also have human drivers driving into flooded road.
