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. image

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.

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

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.
