we all know that highly inflationary situations incentivize reckless investment
im thinking that "highly inflationary" is more than a 5% increase on monetary supply *over economic growth*
but the cure isn't to go straight deflationary
because of all the reasons (which are true reasons!)
with a known monetary policy (hard cap or not) a equilibrium will be reached.
i highly doubt that a purely deflationary environment (as with a hard cap on the # of units) is the best equilibrium for human flourishing.
and I think we are already seeing why that is.
