Them: #Bitcoin appears to me to be a religion. Me: No more so than gold, the Stock Market or one’s favorite sports team.

I *think* I have these basics correct: Bitcoin is code, written in C++ just like Adobe Photoshop. Bitcoin is a protocol just like the Internet (TCP/IP, HTTP) and email (SMTP). Bitcoin is distributed just like BitTorrent. Bitcoin is a ledger. Bitcoin's monetary policy consists of a fixed supply of units with disinflationary issuance until total supply is met.

Inflation is straight-up theft that CRUSHES citizen's purchasing power and interferes with productivity-driven deflation (which car and electronics industries, as examples, clearly experience via advances in technology, which increase productivity, which lowers production costs, which lowers prices). A car today should cost LESS than a car did 45 years ago for the same reason a smartphone (with more compute power) costs LESS than all of the computers (with less compute power) that sent Apollo 11 to the Moon in 1969: productivity-driven deflation https://medium.com/@DGPT/the-pocket-sized-powerhouse-how-your-smartphones-computing-muscle-compares-to-apollo-11-2e7811351dab

"It's what you can buy with what you've got that counts." Scrooge McDuck, in 1967, explaining that, "Ah, inflation, that's a mess. It means your money is worth less and less. It would take a hat-full of $100,000, I dare say, to buy what your piggybank can buy today."

I’ve always heard Gresham’s Law stated as “bad money driving out good money.” But, damn, Murray Rothbard’s interpretation is hella better! “Champions of the government's coinage monopoly have claimed that money is different from all other commodities, because "Gresham's Law" proves that "bad money drives out good" from circulation. “Hence, the free market cannot be trusted to serve the public in supplying good money. But this formulation rests on a misinterpretation of Gresham's famous law. “The law really says that "money overvalued artificially by government will drive out of circulation artificially undervalued money."” - What Has Government Done To Our Money; page 18

Inflation is fraud. Inflation is defined as: an increase in the money supply (per Austrian Economics) Fraud is defined as: a deliberate and intentional act of deceiving or misrepresenting information to induce another person or entity to part with something of value. Money-printing misrepresents information about the purchasing power of your money. And what you've been suckered into parting with is the original time and energy you put into working in exchange for money. Hence, inflation is fraud.

Inflation just makes assets *look* taller, but it's just 2 kids standing on top of each other in a trench coat.
