 You don't have to do that, you just have to check if all the coins on the network seem real, I think

If the latest block in the blockchain checks out cryptographically, the transactions have to check out because of smart people math, by my understanding

 Not sure why you uploaded a halving chart goof. That has nothing to do with input/outputs on chain.

You're relying on additional software by using (closed source Excel at that) to do this for you with it's own potential bugs or user error. That's not taking full advantage of Bitcoins transparency to audit.

Pressing a button and having software spit a number back at you is  no different than doing that with a Monero node 🤡
