I covered the examples you cited already. Rampant inflation happens when people lose faith in the currency. That isn’t what’s happening here.

How do people lose faith in currencies? You start by devaluing them. What are some symptoms of people losing faith in them? They start flocking to currency alternatives. Widespread grassroots popularity in cryptos should probably be some sort of warning sign: The people know that they can't get rich using dollars, the investment game is rigged, so it's worth it to try and 'stack' strange assets, even if they're constantly being warned that those assets are peri-legal by the authorities...
You are on the wrong forum my friend.

Austrians and the HN community talk past each other because it's not easy to get the latter (which I am a part of) to see that their large salaries in FAANG companies are partly due to the Fed largesse.
