    The supply of an asset is the volume of that asset available for purchase.

    If I buy all of that, supply becomes zero.

      The price goes up as you buy it.

      You could attempt to corner the market, but in doing so, you’re also going to be massively enriching the current holders.

      What point would taking the entire supply do - especially since you can easily just start another blockchain?

        @mattyroses @HK65 starting another blcokchain is not as easy as copy the blockchain unless you convince the majority of people that your fork is better than the previous one
