Yes, I understand the extreme anti-fiat view. I've heard it from radical goldbugs & Austrians for decades. It's not supported by even mainstream Austrians or fringe-but-reputable economists. Or evidence. It's moral outrage masquerading as empirical claims. https://twitter.com/paul_btc/status/1012769551002619904 …

CPI is bullshit. Inflation is a sneaky way to steal. That doesn't mean it is infinitely bad, or unmeasurable, or hurts all good people, or doesn't have benefits or anything other than...it distorts the economy a bit and steals a bit of value. Finis.

20 years. Wow. Thats the time ago Nash started talking about an international ecurrency with a stable supply and how it will asymptotically force central banks to print inter-relationall stable money. Looks like you are the ignorant one.

Umm...people have been talking about hard money & currency debasement for millennia. Austrian economics has had sophisticated critiques of inflation for 60+ yrs (with roots in 19th C). Man, kids these days think they invented everything...

All theft helps some people and hurts some people. Just because it is only skimming a little from everyone, and even if it pushes along a sluggish economy, doesn’t give the rulers the right to do it. Also most empirical facts ignore the unseen.

I didn't say anyone had the right to do it. Or not. I don't find rights-based discussions to be very productive. Just saying the empirical consequences are neither massive nor simple nor uniformly anti-poor, etc.
