Bitcoin has predictable issuance, not monetary inflation. Check https://bitcoin.rocks/inflation for more :)

money supply increases over time. in other words: it inflates.

It's related, but seeing as we know the monetary policy for Bitcoin, it's not exactly the same thing as traditional inflation. There are good points to both sides of this debate.

Bitcoin has an issuance schedule. The supply doesn't inflate and remains 21 million today just as it was on at block 1.

but the supply right now is not 21 million yet. i feel we are arguing over semantics. i argue that "inflation" is the correct term and there is nothing inherently bad about it. inflation turns sour when it can be manipulated by a single entity - but still, there is inflation.
