> Money supply is not the same thing as inflation!

Understood; I wasn't trying to say anything about spending power. I like to talk about inflation of money supplies since it sheds light on raw monetary policy. CPI metrics are more meaningful for some purposes, like retirement planning, but it didn't seem useful to me in this context.

> Apple etc are not going to get on board with a system that doesn't support refunds by design

You could be right. At least Apple/Google haven't banned crypto wallets from their app stores, so I think there's a chance. And there's talk about some phone vendors potentially shipping crypto wallets [1].
