Market cap in no way equates to "created value"


Sure it does. It's created a ton of value for myself and anyone else who didn't buy during a peak.


If I buy a grain of sand off of a beach for $1, the market cap of that beach is trillions of dollars. That doesn't mean the beach produced trillions of dollars.


Playing roulette can create value too, if you're lucky enough.
