If the supply increase was predictable and everyone knew about it, like a steady 2% bump in gold each year, markets could theoretically adjust smoother prices would gradually factor in the extra supply, avoiding sudden shocks.

Long-term holders would still take a hit, but it’d be less brutal since they could plan for the dilution.

Investors would shift to assets with better scarcity or returns, no central planning needed.

Knowledge of the increase spreads through price signals, letting folks adapt naturally.

No planner could predict all the ripple effects as well as decentralized markets could.

And of course, if governments or central banks mess with the signals like fixing prices or altering money supply, distortions could still screw things up.
