you can build in inflation into any crypto if you want. It is just the parameters you set when you create it. Bitcoin has fixed supply, but there are plenty of other altcoins that have inflationary aspects to the coin. Until recently, I thought inflation was bad, but it can have positive aspects to re-distribute currency to spenders and non-hodlers. Its a way for people to get access to new money that otherwise is held by a few.
