“Seems likely that the drop in asset values of crypto's & shares has shredded a lot more money than inflation lately?”
Kiora… You are suggesting that the amount of investors’ money that goes into a company's share price as the price rises from $4 a share to $10 a share is not necessarily the equivalent amount of money that is taken out by dis-investors when the shares are sold off and the price drops to $4 each again?

And for the absolute money supply reduction question I asked earlier, I will post the question on the NZX bear thread now that it's reduced in toxicity and someone has mentioned it there.
