Actually... Bitcoin does have inflation. It's just programmatic and defined in the protocol. 😅
Discussion
Bitcoin has predictable issuance, not monetary inflation.
We cover this at https://bitcoin.rocks/inflation which is the website all the stickers link to. Check it out!
Cool website, thanks for sharing. Love the compound inflation calculator you have there 💜
I still disagree though
The total amount of Bitcoin units is increasing (inflating) every ten minutes on average until ~2140. The issuance schedule describes the rate of inflation which in Bitcoin is programmatically predictable.
✌️
Thanks so much! We will have to agree to disagree on this particular topic.
This is the best phrase I’ve found to quickly communicate to normies that Bitcoin may be a solution to their inflation woes. I am always open to new phrases but haven’t seen a better one yet!

IMO the phenomenon is the same (increase in the current money supply).
I think the main distinction to hammer home to normies is how issuance is determined and who gets to decide.
Bitcoin supply is predetermined by the protocol and decided on by everyone who runs the code.
Fiat supply is indeterminate and decided on by a small group individuals and their political whims.
Definitely agree! We try to make that point clear on the website too. It really is wild that a few unelected people control the world’s money!
