Would it be a solution for you to buy foreign currencies with lower inflation amount (e.g. EUR)?

"capital controls" generally includes foreign exchange controls, i.e. restrictions on conversion to foreign currency and local use of foreign currency.

And why should this be different for a private currency controlled by facebook?

It shouldn't. All capital control is terrible. It could be different though.

A lot of wealthy people do that. It isn't as straight forward though. It would be nice to be able to do so on the internet and for smaller amounts.
