If it is left to free market than eggs will be ten dollars a piece :-) .. and wheat shall be 100 dollars a kilo .. why ..because private enterprise works with profit motivation .. profit is direct outcome of scarcity - point in case is #bitcoin - you know very well :-)

Commodities are the exact opposite of scarce mindset .. we want them abundant .. in a scarce mindset ven water and air will be monetised ..

This is the reason , when it comes to inflation , no one cares for inflation in gold or homes or yatchs .. the CPI is computed on a very narrow basket of commodities .. bread , milk , eggs etc ..

Why ? Because if poor people didn't get food and clothes ..they show up on streets .. and rightly so ..
