Why not both? We already know for a proven fact that corporate greed is a major driving force for the current inflation rate.

A majority of corporate greed profit is skimmeded through two mechanisms. Regulatory capture and fog-of-war financialization techniques. Under a hard money standard the exploitations surfaces of both of these are dramatically reduced. Bitcoin turns excessive greed into a force that damages the product or service a business is trying to sell.

I don't think that's entirely true, or at least not true enough to nullify it. Companies are frequently posting record profits, so corporate greed is paying off. Exploitation of fiat is just one way they get their money. It's true that moving away from fiat will address those methods, but it won't stop things like union busting, coersion, wage theft, which is the most common form of theft in the US, and just general exploitation of the power imbalance.

Note the word "reduced" in my last post... I suspect we agree more than we disagree but my claim is that the overwhelming burden on people is from inflation, not greed. That being said if record USD profits = "paying off" in your mind, I don't think we can have a productive conversation. Thanks for your input though. Stay humble and stack sats. 🤘

Look at the wealth at the top as a portion of total wealth. The top sliver of a percent keeps obtaining more and more of what's available. So yeah, corporate greed is measurably paying off.
