Bitcoin is designed to combat inflation? Please show me how it does this. I am very skeptical of this claim.

Because there will be maximum only 21 millions of bitcoin while US dollar in circulation is doubling every decade or so.
This seems to use the uncommon, Austrian and wrong definition of inflation as being purely an effect of monetary supply.
There is ultimately a fixed supply of Bitcoin, so the money printer can’t go brrrrrt.
