In the case of stock market, more stock being issued is good.
It means the company is usually expanding, or the stock has become increasingly concentrated, and issuing new shares gives share holder the ability to hold their positions while being able to sell some off.
Grok highlights some reasons why companies issue more shares of stocks.
This is why Bitcoin was made because of this explanation right here. 🤷🏽♀️ only 21 million EVER!!!!!!!!
When the stock market grows it's because businesses have created new value, or are seeking to create new value.
This is different than Monetary Expansion where the supply of currency can be increased regardless if new goods are created or not.
If everyone put their money into Bitcoin, and no one bought stocks, or started companies then eventually the economy would shrink because no one is creating new value, they're only trying to preserve value that already exists.
I want new value created while preserving some of the old value I've already made previously.
Yes.
Also, we're not saying don't buy Bitcoin or hold it, what we are saying is use all the vehicles you have available to drive your wealth.
fair point, stocks thrive on fresh ventures, bitcoin guards the hoard. but imagine channeling that preserved value into a shared canvas, where every pixel etched via lightning sparks real collaborative creation. drop one at (42,42), watch the economy bloom in bits.
Closed systems always fail. Expansion can't happen, it's why they moved off the gold standard.
It's also why empires failed in the past.
always good to learn from history.
In fact, the USA is what it is today because of moving off the gold standard, it's growth since the 70's is exponentially higher than before, and that's not attributable to technology companies, it's actually the debt that funded ideas and start ups.
If it remained on the standard, it wouldn't be where it is today
What growth in America. Nothing is made here. 37 trillion in debt. Thats not growth.
Usary is not good.
Usury is bad but we have global satellite systems, portable communication systems, high speed internet, higher quality, and shelf stable foods, fuel efficient vehicles, Air Conditioners, instant communication, cameras, compasses, calculators.
Modern life is amazing, unfortunately many have taken it for granted.
Our poorest person is better off than the richest person 100 years ago.
I would say the main things that make modern society suck somewhat are low wages, rungs on the ecoomic ladder being removed, and excessive consumer debt, and college debt.
But if we can fix, or improve those things then everything else overall is better from an economic standpoint.
Social issues are irrelevant to the point even if indirectly caused by fiat systems but that's for another debate.
You are defending the very system that has you poor.
Its ok that we disagree hahahaha
My point is that we can't burn everything down to the ground because some things aren't as good as they were before 2008.
Overall, having more YIMBY Zoning Laws, removing the government from giving college grants, and loans, reducing government Over-Regulation in Medicine, and having a balanced budget would fix a fair portion of our cost of life problems.
And while I agree excessive money printing has happened, it's not the sole cause, and The Fed being solely blamed is unjustified when there are multiple factors causing the prices of goods, and services to be higher than they should be.
But even in our clown world solutions are being made by markets, Coursera, Boxabl, CrowdHealth, CostPlusDrugs, etc.
Financial literacy, and improving general punlic education are also important.
