Surprisingly they don't understand what inflation means despite having just quoted its definition a few paragraphs above.

Inflation doesn't mean that we "have more of something", it means we "need more of that something" to buy the same good over time.

Do we today need more bitcoins to buy a pizza compared to 2013?
