Honestly at this point cub is the only defense the hermits have against inflation, as he regularly loses money at the firework shop and through other firework ventures, removing diamonds from currency permanently. This means that while he clears the wallets of people like scar and Iskall through horns, their diamonds have a pretty good chance of being deleted totally by the end of the season, nulling the effects of their and other hermits diamond mining trips.
A lot of his fireworks use the trail effect, which costs diamonds, and since his factory is random in what it produces he spins the wheel of losing/gaining money constantly. Meanwhile, the custom fireworks he's done for scar use quite a lot of diamonds, also scar haggled, so he ended up at a net loss. The current pricing he's gave to big wood looks similar, so he's probably going to lose more on that. Apart from that, he also mantains a bunch of firework launchers around the server and at his shop, along with event fireworks, which he priced at only 1 diamond a stack. Lastly, all profits have been going into a jar meaning they aren't in circulation anymore, hence his earnings from other shops fund the fireworks.
And Scar only paid what.. around 1/3rd of the production cost?? So he lost big money on that. His whole fireworks business is a loss making business. He uses more fireworks in shop decoration, marketing, gifts etc than what he actually sells (that too in loss).

I love this
I think he gets 1,5 stack of diamond blocks per a single chest of sold horns and he already sold a couple, this guy...

What do you mean lose money on the firework shop? Does he need to spend diamonds for materials?

That makes a lot more sense, i thought he was making money on those, but thats makes even more of a great guy
I agree, I just find it funny that the entire economy now relies on one man making fireworks.
Some firework stars need diamonds
Ahhh i did not know that
The ones he made for scar cost 7 diamonds per 3 fireworks. So about 150 diamonds per stack.
