Is there an example of an economic system with monetary inflation and deflation mechanisms being crowd-driven?

the capital markets are that way. As times get better, banks and lenders allow more leverage (monetary expansion) opposite in bad times

How big is that set? Big enough to be called a crowd? Or an oligarchy with a central banker dictator?

oh for sure a crowd. This shows up in things like the amount of average debt / ebitda multiples in LBOs and M&A.

I'm not sure that's a pure example. They still work within forcing function set by central banker.

the central bank does very little to determine leverage in M&A. This process is gradual and takes years of repeat games.

same concept could apply to "valuations" in late stage venture which are really increased multiples of revenues being lent to companies

You've drifted quite far away from the monetary base in your examples.
Replying to
yeah it isn't really the equivalent of monetary base of course. Have to stylize the concepts to define boundaries and players.

Looking for a non-stylized, bare-metal example. In prison for eg, you can smoke cigarettes to deflate.
