Markets are not a zero sum game.
I can sell you Bitcoin at $40K and it goes to $50K. You end up making $10K does not mean I lost. I could have gained if I bought at $30K.
As for the one who buys at $50K, perhaps he or she holds to 70K. Or what if the person collateralizes the BTC for something else?

But where does the fresh money come from?
If you don't lose...
What is the value behind the price going up?
Companies, as an example, grow in value all the time. Money or price is not value. For example you can buy a piece of land, clear it, build a house, and sell it for more than the money you put in. Does that mean someone else lost due to the value you provided.
Markets are driven by many factors, not just the inflow (or outflow) of money.
If you come in a move the price of a HIVE 1 cent, that 1 cent moves applies to every token in circulation. Hence, markets can move a great deal more than the money that is invested in them.

Hm right, thanks!
I never thought in this direction
I just had the poker or capitalist mindset
so someone has to lose in order for someone else to win!
