    prevent inflation by limiting the amount of currency that exists

    which is a flawed premise itself. the supply of currency needs to expand at the same rate as productivity increases or else you get deflation which has its own set of problems

    • well…no. Gold goes up because of the same reason and its not ruining everything. And I’m pretty sure actually no currency has THAT much inflation, like that’s a lot more than you might think
