Not my convo but there are several types of inflation. Your egg example is price inflation which has nothing to do with monetary inflation, ie. money printing.

Yes, exactly. Many Bitcoiners erroneously blame price inflation on an increase in the money supply.

An increase in the money supply can cause price inflation, however your example was the price of eggs do to supply disruption which is different.

The more money printed, the more it will cost generally for everything and the harder you will have to work to get products.

The difference between endless fiat money printing and the bitcoin standard is the fixed supply. The price of eggs can go up or down based on their supply but not up or down based on bitcoins supply which is fixed.

I don't know your level of understanding so I explained it like I would to a 5th grader. No offense.

I run a full node and majored in Econ. But thanks anyway. My point is many Bitcoiners erroneously think price increases wonโ€™t happen on a Bitcoin standard precisely because they think that an increase in the money supply causes all price increases. Thatโ€™s what I was originally objecting to in the initial post as the first flawed assumption

Increasing Money supply is the reason why everything gets expensive over time.
