Private bank lending on a fiat standard is always increasing the money supply.

Fiscal deficits increase the money supply if the debt is monetized by the central bank.

The US is already running a large deficit with a high debt to gdp ratio. This will lead to a debt spiral and no other option than monetizing the debt. QE infinity …

Not necessarily. You can have debt in bitcoin but you still cannot increase the supply of bitcoin.

Government deficit spending is the same. Only then when they negotiate with fed to print more money against bonds, then inflation is introduced.

No it's not.

Inflation by it's definition means a increase in the money supply of a economy, nothing else.

Inflation have consequences, like price rises, loss of economic signals etc.

Deficit spending can also lead to price rises etc. but it cannot introduce any inflation.

He's actually correct.

Inflation is not introduced when spending money, it's introduced when banks print excess amounts of money out of thin air.

Of course, govs wouldn't be able to spend so much money so easily if there wouldn't be central banks.

Jurisdictions which don’t push weed into black markets fix this mostly

#bitcoin, serious question: how do you solve the problem that coins continue to be taken out of circulation by a few big hoarders with a lot of money in reserve?

The way I understand it, the people who need to start *using* their bitcoin first aren't the one who will massively hoard. (Just as with money now.)
