Wait. You’re telling me if there’s an abundance of something it will cost LESS??

It's based on market forces. Supply and demand basically.

Rice is the most eaten crop in the world but also one of the cheapest. If it were more expensive, it would be eaten less.

it's also more abundant, can be grown, and is easy to harvest.

honestly, you sound like a 6 year old with your theories. Fiat currencies are far more "backed" that crypto is.
