 Just an idea that hit me while jogging. Am I insane or is any amount of inflation bullshit and unacceptable? Oh your money is dying slower and the people celebrate? Madness. nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcjgxv3n 
 You aren't insane, and yes, inflation is bullshit and unacceptable. Money should naturally grow in value over time. If it doesn't either society is literally dying, or your money sucks. 
 Or both... 
 But if money gains value over time...no one would spend it. 👇

 i see this one a lot. It’s like people have no concept that price actions can decrease as well as increase 
 Its insane how fiat became a thing 
 This, exactly this.

Phrased differently, bitcoin has no top - both because society has unbounded potential, and fiat has no bottom. 
 Monero, constant, stable, growth.

Real money does exactly what you say. 
 If inflation isn’t bullshit, anyone should be able to do it and not restricted to a central bank. 
 A thought that everyone who deeply understands Bitcoin has pondered at one point or another 🫡 
 But it also helps grow fake wealth in things like real estate that depreciate. :)
