If you’re asking with genuine curiosity: whatever venture was not invested in because it went to buying Tech Titan stocks instead.

Concentrated wealth doesn’t circulate well, which leads to inflation.

I thought we all had some economic chops on this forum?

Wealth doesn't circulate. Currency circulates. They aren't the same thing. And a "concentration of wealth" can't lead to inflation or debasement, I'm not sure what that sentence means.

Concentrated wealth along with a lack of currency circulation results in deflation, not inflation:

Pretty ironic that you'd call out economic chops when this is a very basic and well understood principle. Perhaps be more cautious and less confident in your presuppositions going forward.

You’re absolutely right, that was a test.

The fact that you’re the only one to point it out makes me think that I have put too much faith here.

It’s patently obvious that less circulation is a depressive force on economic activity.

Yes and: Our economy now has fewer young(er) small- to mid-sized companies. The kind that have historically been the engines for creating jobs, for creating wealth (vs merely transferring it), and innovation.

I was excited by all new green energy startups due to Biden Admin's policies (BIL, IRA, etc). Oh well...

I know you know all this; I'm just compelled to repeatedly point out the obvious.
