1. As you say yourself, nominal values and purchasing power are different concepts. So why should we treat them the same?

2. If I have a contract saying I will get that extra dollar, I absolutely expect to get it and will take the bank to court if I don't. If I only hope for that, it's different. But in any case, my contract is with my bank, not the central bank.

3. It's not voluntary if cash is effectively useless and I must use a bank.

The rest of your post is just bizarre. Standing up for property rights isn't socialist. I don't think this thread is going anywhere, so I'm out. I hope you have a great day.
