I understand your perspective about the technical value of an exploit, but I disagree with the concept that technical value = market value.

There are unorganized buyers who may be interested if they see potential to weaponize it.

In reality, if you want to maximize revenue, yes, you need to organize your own heist (if that's what you meant)

Do you know this or do you just think it should be true?

Going out on the world’s sturdiest limb and saying u/tptacek knows the technical and trading sides of exploits. (Read his bio.)
