With how capitalism works, it necessarily requires usury/interest. Usury concentrates money and power in the hands of bankers. Through the power bankers attain, they keep pushing for policies which concentrate even more money and power in their hands. Fiat money is just another method to do that. So is money printing, and fractional reserve lending and banking.
Like I said, capitalism is the prioritization of money, and the accrual of money, above all else, even above people, truth, honesty, and merit. Capitalism, by its design, devolves in a downward spiral.
Also, the stock market is a scam. The Gamestop fiasco proved that, where regular Joes manipulated the market with Gamestop stocks, so they could make money (the exact same way rich people do), it made the trillionaire hedge funders lose tons of money, and almost immediately the stock markets were frozen, regular people were prevented from buying or selling while rich people could still do so, and previous transactions were nullified.
The only reason people in the West have to earn interest on their money (through a bank account, or the stock market, or some other bullshit medium), is because of inflation, to merely keep pace with their own money losing value in real time. Inflation is caused entirely by bankers, as a means to steal wealth from poor people, and concentrate it in the hands of the already uber rich. The U.S. dollar remained stable for most of its life, until the implementation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 (a central bank), where it's now lost about 99% of its value (or more).
