      I admit something important. I (purposefully) did not properly attend to the Paul's question of how Nash's words could/should be interpreted to not mean what Paul felt they meant. I will explain this properly shortly in an writing and I think he will admit to understanding :)

      Hey Jal, thanks for writing this up. This is fascinating to me. Could you let me know if my below understanding of Nash's argument is correct?

      Replying to @hugohanoi @SoakerPatoshi

      There are 2 components to Nash’s argument: a/ Any non-zero “target rate” (e.g. 2%) of inflation is too arbitrary, regardless of the index used. It should be made zero. b/ What is the ideal index for measuring inflation? an intl. apolitical price signal, not a locally-sourced CPI.

      ts not a measure of inflation per se, its a targeting of it. An apolitical price would be an ideal signal to peg the major currencies to.

      aren't they the same thing? targeting to a price signal X == measuring inflation rate with the reference set to X?

      Targeting involves measuring but I don't think you can suggest they have the same meaning.

      Maybe I'm being dense but I'm not quite sure I see the distinction… 🤔

 E.g. if your currency has a one-to-one peg to a price signal X, doesn’t that mean a zero rate of inflation w.r.t. X?

      You have said that measuring and targeting are the same action. These are different words with different meanings. Your example isn't showing measuring == targeting.

      Oh I see what you mean. Yes of cos measuring is only part of targeting, hence part (a) of my summary. Choosing what/how to measure is a prerequisite to targeting, I’m merely separating out the 2 concerns.

          Yes but you weren't separating them you were conflating them no?

          No I wasn’t conflating them in my summary. Maybe in the follow-up tweet I should have said “measure AND THEN CORRECT if necessary”. But I thought this is pretty obvious, why measure something if you don’t do anything with it? 😜

          So with the semantics out of the way. Is my understanding of Nash’s argument correct? (a) & (b) work together not in isolation.https://twitter.com/hugohanoi/status/999190170460078080?s=21 …

          Yes i think the x% (ie 2%) is not "too" arbitrary but it is quite arbitrary, it is arbitrary. And I am not "being semantical" I think you came to me for semantics (Not saying you are accusing me, just being clear because I don't like semantic based debates etc ;p )

          Yes maybe not semantics but slight miscommunication :p (I didn’t mean measuring for measuring’s sake or used in isolation, measuring here is with the clear intention of targeting)

          I think you haven't understood why its important you don't say it the way you did.

          To say "use bitcoin to measure inflation" is not palatable for people like economists, it won't make sense. It's better to say its best to target for inflation.
