What's this dude talking about? Elasticity matters? He wants the capability to inflate. Elasticity.. Sheesh.. Free market supply & demand moves values. More demand, higher price. Less demand, lower price. This is universal in free markets. This dude has to be a Keynesian. He will ignore the destruction that Keynesian inflation brings to those suffering from the money printing. The unit value of a currency needs absolute stability, not elasticity. Suppy / demand does the rest.
