A wild thought:

If everything is owned by the same elites at the top of the pyramid, including everything american, chinese, russian, middle eastern, etc., then there will not be any competition, any game. They have nowhere to rush to. They will just keep buying only the bitcoin that is mined, and will keep the current price until the word gets out to the normies. Once the normies start buying, then there is competition, and then the dollar printer really starts and the price skyrockets.

Unless not everything is owned by the same elites.

We'll find out sooner or later.
