 The s&p or Bitcoin does not represent value of all the companies or value of satoshis; it represents a savings rate of all the currency units in the system.  It has nothing to do with supply/demand, it's simply a reflection of the system.  Market cap of all companies go up when there are more currency units in the system.

The bitcoin price is fake because we're using the wrong measuring post from which to measure.  It's like asking "how far is it to the moon?" and saying "it's 300 calories".  The units of measurement are completely wrong.  

I don't hate the dollar or any fiat system, it's just it's design.  It's like being mad at the wind for blowing.
