That's in the small scheme of things.
Let's try an analogy with diamonds.
Know about DeBeers? It's the diamond cartel that has an illegal monopoly. Basically, Debeers has a whole lot of diamonds in stock. But, in order to keep them valuable, it control the flow of diamonds to the public. (This is what dupers would do if they were smart) So, it gives the illusion that a diamond is actually valuable and rare, when it isn't.
Now, let's say that all the board members of DeBeers certainly died and they were replaced by incompetent people. They decide, that since they can sell diamonds at a high price, to flood the market. They figure, the more they can sell, the more money they'll make. Now, can you predict what's going to happen?
In the small scheme of things, the diamond market will crash, and they'll be as valuable as cubic zirconia. If they're not rare, they're not valuable.
In the large scheme of things, nations who's economy depends heavily on the diamond market will go through a recession. Small businesses and large ones that depend on diamonds will also fall.
The market crashes, nations suffer, and individuals are out of jobs, all thanks to the actions of a few idiots.
I wonder, how many people would have picked up what would've happened in the large scheme of things had I not mentioned it?
