Genetically-modified silk will be 100x more expensive.
It is a novelty item.
It will never be profitable.

And you know this how? Why not two hundred times. I remember a friend buying an HP calculator for about $700 in the early 80's. It was clunky, had some programming bells and whistles and was battery operated. There are now solar power run calculators that do 100x more and they give them away when you open up a checking account or join Costco. The price will come down.

Novelty is the fake leather and fur that what crowed about as being compelling. The only thing novel about your statement is that it wasn't cut and pasted.

If it will never be profitable then why are companies and the China spending all this money to brew it or genetically modify it? Because it has been proven that it can be done and Kim was standing there with quantitative evidence. As more uses are developed and interested businesses see it's potential, the market will determine how profitable it will be.
