Where is the money coming from?

It would seem that long-term, money can be created, but never destroyed (aside from rare instances of actually burning paper money or melting coins). So perhaps, money is "destroyed" by INFLATION and that works to balance things?

Yes. Money would leave the marketplace by being burned/destroyed in some other sense... or like moving into cryptos... any place away from the stock & bond markets.

As for inflation... money isn't destroyed per se... its buying power is. As for "balancing things"... absolutely does NOT do that... it's just destruction. Inflation is a baaaaaad thing. It's the excuse governments use to hoodwink the hoi polloi into accepting the greed of deficit spending and all the financial destruction it causes.

You keep saying that, like it was a good thing.

Also remember, many products move price without money being used, they trade on the margin. Gold is a perfect example.

You show me an offer $1 above last price for Feb gold, I say buy'em. We post the print. Golds up a dollar, and no money changed hands. Futures are so much fun.

I've heard that economists haven't precisely identified why inflation happens. Maybe it's because more money is created than destroyed. The increase in money supply outpaces the increase in goods/services available.

How often does someone intentionally burn paper money? Or how often does someone accidentally throw away their hard drive with their BTC on it?

Some days (like today so far), it seems like everything goes to. Stocks are up, gold is up...................................

Where is the money coming from? Is it being created by the Fed through bank lending? Is the total money supply getting larger?

%%
I get a check/checks monthly,or more worked for decades+ still do ; I also get ETfs dividends, some losses, some capital appreciation. I also pay for my candle charts/barcharts being printed , gave away my printer, so lots of ways to earn, make money , trade invest.
Ever read the book Farmer John ''it's a Bull Market you knoW'' [ ??]Sorry I don't keep up much with silver+ gold , much anymore, but silver has been in a fair uptrend last I looked, but it pays no dividends....................................................................................................... I enjoy trend study, many timeframes; but not much money paid in bank interest/bond interest as a %

Yeah, well like I said. "Sideline cash" does not leave the market. It's more or less constant, just changes hands.
