The author states this myth perfectly: Every cryptocurrency is its own pot of money. When people sell, they are taking money out of the pot. When people buy, they are putting money into the pot. It's a popular myth but it's obviously bogus when you realize that for every buyer there is a seller. So when people buy a gold bar, or 100 shares of AAPL or a cabin at the lake, the money the buyer puts in is exactly offset by the money the seller takes out.
