I just started in crypto, and it looks like a lot of people in this field have a tech or a finance background. Therefore, having something that makes sense or being logical most of the time should be easy to see/achieve, right?

Wrong! Crypto is complicated, blockchain is not for everyone to understand. Of course, it is in the best interested to simplify, share, spread the knowledge among the people. However, sometimes I read or I see some stuff that doesn't quite makes sense for me.

Starting with some famous articles, explaining how governments are evil (which I have no doubt) since the existence of human society, money, FIAT, currency value, "printing money" from thin air, so on and so forth. After that, one specific topic that I was questioning myself. How much "printing" is happening every day in cryptocurrencies? How is that fair comparing with governments around the world? How that is better than the existent systems. Just some simple questions come to my mind.

So I just got the highest market cap coins that can be mined. I know that the blocks, and the reward will change over time, lot of then were mined already. For this specific scenario let's focus in the current stats:

Bitcoin: 144 blocks/day, 12.5 BTC/block = 1800 * USD $10.000 = USD $18M

https://www.bitcoinmining.com/what-is-the-bitcoin-block-reward/ Ethereum: 6000 blocks/day, 3.5 ETH/block = 21000 * USD $800 = USD $16.8M

https://bitinfocharts.com/ethereum/ Bitcoin Cash: 144 blocks/day, 12.5 BCH/block = 1800 * USD $1800 = USD $3.2M

https://bitinfocharts.com/ethereum/ Litecoin: 640blocks/day, 25 LTC/block = 16000 * USD $180 = USD $2.8M

https://bitinfocharts.com/dash/ DASH: 552/day, 3.35 DASH/block = 1850 * USD $520 = USD $1M

https://bitinfocharts.com/dash/ Monero: 720/day, 4.75 XMR/block = 3420 * USD $240 = USD $0.8M

There are lot of other coins that ca be mineed, but for this article I'm assuming that they "print" less USD per day than the top coins. BTW, that math is not 100% accurate, I rounded some of values to simplify.

It gives us the total sum amount of:

USD $42.6M per day.

That's one of the reasons that was making me bearish all the time. If you make all the math, you can get the total of:

USD $15.5B per year.

Keep in mind that the value would change, but not the quantity. I mean, the amount of coins that are being generated is not going to stop (will just decrease). There are so much infra-structure to do that, it's easy to keep everything online and going.

Now, is it possible to have that amount money coming into crypto every single day?

Yes, I believe so.

That would be one the reasons for increasing the current prices (we want profit!). In comparison, I was trying to find how much money is printed by countries over the world, which is a very difficult question to answer.. What I got one example:

Banking of the England will inject £ 445B (using quantitative easing) in 2018.

What got me even more confused. I found out that the term "print money" misused, or to ordinary. So we can try to compare with government debt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_debt

Considering those amounts per year. Let's think for a second, I mean comparing "real" money with crypto money, if we include pre-mined coins, centralized coins, ICOs and others. Is that fair?

Very hard to calculate and say....

In the crypto space world, the only thing that I could summarized is:

The wealth is not with the governments (or maybe it is, who knows). The wealth is with the early adopters. The wealth is with the giant mining farms. The wealth is with the exchanges owners, coin creators, fork creators, ASIC manufacturers, and others already wealth people (investors).

Are they better than governments?

Thank you for reading. Maybe I just confusing apples with bananas. But let me know your bad-written, bad-formatted thoughts (like my post) in the comments section.
