That is the number of crypto tokens created over the created over the last 8 years. Yes, One-hundred eight-three trillion, five hundred twenty-two billion, nine hundred sixteen million, five hundred four thousand, five hundred thirty-four.

But you are saying “Hey Chris, DOGE is only worth $0.001 $0.75 $0.38 $0.48 while Bitcoin is worth $44,000 so they aren’t all worth the same.

Well, let’s convert them all into Bitcoin equivalent. Each week I calculate the change in supply for each crypto and multiple it by the ratio of its price to Bitcoin’s price that week. I then compart the increase in Bitcoin equivalent crypto to the change in the Fed Balance Sheet. You know, that terrible, awful, debasing, dollar destroying institution.

The supply of crypto is up almost 500% during this period whereas the supply of dollars is up 140%.

While you can’t make more than 21 million Bitcoins, you can make an unlimited amount of many cryptos – including Etherium and Dogecoin. And of course an unlimited number of currencies.

I expect that cryptocurrencies will be about as value as those baseballs cards I used to collect … along with every other kid my age. It’s simply economics: Unlimited supply = $0 value.

Now Included with your Tesla: Pump and Dump

Tesla reported they made $101 million selling some of their cryptocurrency. I don’t understand how the SEC doesn’t have a serious investigation of price manipulation. Here’s the timeline:

So on 1/29/21, Elon adds #bitcoin to his handle and the of bitcoin goes up 20%. Then a few days later:

“Two days later, he said on the social medial chat site Clubhouse: “I do at this point think bitcoin is a good thing, and I am a supporter of bitcoin.”

Then another week or so goes by and ….

On 2/8/21, Tesla disclosures it bought $1.5 billion of crypto (mainly bitcoin). Now the interesting thing is the timing. From the filing:

The company stated that the purchase was made after a change in investment policy last month (January)

In other words, Tesla bought Bitcoin BEFORE the tweet by Elon pushed up the price. After talking about how amazing Bitcoin and Dogecoin is for a while, today Tesla discloses…

So when did Tesla sell? Elon claims it was to prove the “liquidity” of the market. Uh, Elon, everyone can see the volume traded each day. He also says it’s not him selling but Tesla. Hey, Elon, who runs Tesla?

The bottom line is Elon manipulated the price of bitcoin up after Tesla bought it. They then sold. This is the definition of price manipulation.

(I’m not even going to talk about how they don’t make any money on their cars)
