I have to partially disagree with that, if you go and look at big companies, like Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and others, the founders have a really low % of the shares, and can actually be outvoted by the likes of Vanguard and Blackrock, which have a bigger % of shares, Jeff Bezos has 9% of shares for example. And also, they have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of shareholders and can even be sued if they don't...

Unfortunately, the true owners of the blackrock and vanguard shares, the people that buy the ETFs, don't get to vote with them, and blackrock makes all decisions in the name of their ETF owners, which I totally disagree with and think it's a much bigger issue that should be addressed by our market regulators ASAP... but there is no incentive for the regulators to actually do something usefull...

Check out the % of shares each shareholder has:

Amazon:

Microsoft:

Tesla:

Intel:

Ryanair:

(Elon has 12% and says he doesn't have enough control of tesla and wants the stock options, I wonder how much the dude wants...)

Don't know how the shares are distributed in smaller companies, so you might be right in smaller companies.

Meanwhile in crypto most cryptos have perpetual percentage of inflation which long term is exponential money printing since it is a per centage.

Just look at HIVE (last time I checked, and correct me if I'm wrong), the % inflation is decreasing, but sooner or later, in a few years, it will stop decreasing and be fixed, thus printing new tokens forever, and since it is printing a % of the supply, the supply long-term is exponential.

In my opinion the increase in supply should be number based and not % based, to make inflation go towards 0% without it actually ever reaching it. Supply graph would basically be a log graph instead of an exponential graph. Instead of printing 4%, print 4M tokens a year.

There are also other cryptos which have the token printing in the protocol as a last resource in case the protocol goes into debt, like Maker, Aave, Synthethix, etc...

So, it depends on the protocol, in some it's in the protocol itself.

I think BTC is the only one that will never change the supply, I think bitcoiners would rather see the security budget go down then increase the $BTC supply.

But I'm a huge stock market appreciator, I wasn't, but for the last couple of years I've become more and more sympathetic towards stocks and the stock market, especially after going through some of the balance sheets, shareholder meetings and products that are in pipelines.

Sorry, kinda went on a long rant here 😅
