This concept is literally what happened in New York stock exchange, the hedgefunds were realizing that the lower latency means you get the price faster than others, allowing you to execute trades at an advantage, to the point where someone figure out that one of the toys r us next door had the lowest latency and they bought the toys r us (and left the logo on it) and ran the server hidden from others to not let others find out that they had the advantage, if you're curious you can read up on it, the article is called "Not a Millisecond to Spare" great video btw!

The galaxy-brain play for a flipper is to manipulate the price of an item to the point where it gets detected by another flipper, offload a ton of that item to that flipper at an inflated and unsellable price, bankrupt them, and then go on to profit more with less competition.

This. Clearly the next step is improving the buying strategy rather than the speed. Another option would be using trends to predict prices before selling, so the flippers could wait for a better opportunity to sell at a higher profit.

Ah Flipping, truly one of the more boring methods of making ingame currency. But even so, when I did flip stuff in games, it wasn't really to make profits. Back then I did it solely to be able to afford other stuff in game. And why there's a sell limit on items in one of the games I used to play a lot. Some items could only be sold once every 4 hours and even if you could make bank on said items, it was hardly worth it at all, and flipping items that could be sold in bulk, didn't really make that much profit. However, flipping in Skyblock sounds like a hassle, mostly because of how it's auction house is set up that caused this in the first place. There were countless solutions to prevent those things from happening in the first place.

Technically they even take away from society as they inherently turn the market anti-consumer. Landlords (in some countries) at least have requirements to take care of their properties upkeep. What's even worse though is that flipping absolutely is a thing that happens in IRL and it's just as bad there, as they don't just generally drive prices up but also casually collapse the economy every so often.

trading is op. For a good bit of time in in realm of the mad god i was a flipper for the early parts knowing that one guy sold out their stocks for pretty cheap. I was able to use that to buy an endgame item that i was then able to uptrade with other endgame items that had similar value. (basically getting paid life potions to trade deca rIngs with other similar endgame items once i had another 8 life potions i was able to trade them for another deca having double the potential trading power) at some point my profits were so insane i died with a maxed character that had basically the best tradeable gear at that time and i was laughing about how dumb this death was. only for beeing online with multiple accounts in the background to be able to respond to people that wanna get specific gear that i was holding this was insane.

In-game markets are always a fascinating lesson in the need for regulations in economic systems (both virtual and real-world) in order to retain some stability & equity. What many people don't understand is that any given population always contains a group of extremely short-sighted, risk-blind individuals who don't care if they burn the whole market down around themselves as long as they think they'll win... stock trading floors are full of them. They don't care about the long-term, knock-on effects to their actions, so if they are allowed to run amok in your game's economy they will ruin the game for _all_ players in the long run. Hypixel are asking for trouble by not managing these markets better, both with their player base and Mojang/Microsoft. Great video! 👍 And an interesting watch for someone like me who doesn't even play the game, because the way you presented the evolution of the Hypixel market makes it easy to identify all the real-world analogues (from the agricultural markets to eBay to the stock market). It's a good lesson about the importance of risk management & regulations in a balanced system.

The way you phrased it makes it seem like you are saying electrons in a copper wire move at 2/3 the speed of light. I think this is just poor phrasing, and not what you meant, but just to be sure: Electrons move extremely slow in a wire. About 1 cm per minute. The power is transmitted significantly faster, but the actual electrons drift very slowly.
