Adjusting for inflation, #Bitcoin today is at ~$12k pre-pandemic dollars.So we're not actually at a new high yet.I guess we need to break $100k for a real new high.

@lukedashjr While our spending power is protected, #Bitcoin is also a gage of fiat inflation so some percentage of the recent gains are simply a reaction to money printing.

@duringo Total US dollars in existence before/after.IIRC it was ~$5T before, now $20T, so 4x.(Which means the new high would actually be breaking $80k - so maybe I'm mis-remembering?)

@lukedashjr Ok when you say inflation you mean the original definition of inflation.

@duringo Those are just inevitable after-effects following inflation.It's funny how fiat fans try to use this redefinition attempt as propaganda: by doing so, they are implicitly admitting the effects are intrinsically tied to real inflation.

@duringo @lukedashjr most people haven’t even heard of monetary inflation, they understand inflation to mean price inflation, but bitcoiners should know!

@lukedashjr i absolutely agree, but this is the line of thinking for economists nowadays. How can they not realize that, ideally, inflation should be 0%, especially by their own definition.
