Your logic dictates that if I buy a rookie baseball card for $5, the player has a great season and now my card is worth $100, that $95 must have been taken from one or more other people, because you believe that increases in net worth cannot occur without theft.
Pointing out that this makes no sense doesn’t require trust, just functioning logical thought processes.
Like why are you comparing something that appreciated in value to billionaires?
Because that’s how billionaires become billionaires. They buy stuff (or pieces of it, e.g. shares of stock) and continue to own it while it appreciates in value.
This is why it’s possible for a billionaire’s net worth to swing up and down so wildly: net worth is a valuation, a price tag. It’s NOT an amount of cash money.
Facts without sources are untrustworthy and more akin to opinions than facts.
First off, stop using “opinion” wrong. An assertion can either be true or false. Opinions are subjective, in another category entirely. Facts and opinions are not opposites. This is grade school stuff.
Secondly, give me an example of an assertion I made that you don’t “trust”. Bet I can back it up with very little Google time.
You could have just written “nuh uh!” and saved some time, since that’s the essence of what you’re saying here.
Everything I said was factual, and you know it.
