If the grocery stores all suddenly have 10x as many avocados people will pay less for them. The same is true for the grocery store that is buying money with avocados. Nobody considers consumers greedy for paying less when there's a surplus.

True, but the comment implied that people would buy 10x more avocados if their fortune tripled ten times and so a 10x price hike was needed to keep avocados in stock. This is not how eating habits work.
