"Seems I triggered some people. But if you read the replies youll see that the problem is that people dont really understand what hyperinflation is. They think more fiat printing = hyperinflation incoming when in fact hyperinflation is not only about the printing but also and even more about the velocity of that money supply. As I pointed out in one of the replies US M2 velocity has been dropping for two decades from XXX to XXX. Thats deflationary behavior meaning that money is being saved and/or accumulated in financial markets. That debunks the current hyperinflation argument. In other words"

They see it as an opportunity to finally learn how to trade with discipline strategy and proper risk management. The second look for someone to blame and ignore the hard truth: no one forced them to take excessive risk or trade without a plan. Trading humbles everyone eventually.

"18% annualized inflation or debasement is painful. I haven't argued that it's not. But hyperinflation isnt about a single-year rate its about velocity and compounding which seems to be what most people replying to my post are not understanding.

Thats exactly whats been happening since 2008 as seen by the drop in velocity even as printing jumped up in 2021. The XX% loss youre quoting is inflation not deflationary behavior.

"Well I mean obviously right But in all seriousness even if you believe I am that still doesn't change the fact that the Feds toolkit while not infinite is still functional. Quantitative tightening rate hikes and reserve management arent meant to erase inflation overnight. Theyre designed to prevent a feedback loop in velocity. So is fiscal excess a risk Yes.

"Youre not wrong. Policy limits are visible. They always are at this phase of the cycle. But a liquidity squeeze and a systemic collapse arent synonymous. They're not the same thing. Remember the Fed doesnt have to fix inflation completely; it only needs to prevent a runaway in velocity. Now if that loop breaks then the math becomes exponential. Until then fiscal dysfunction is ugly but not terminal. Whether you want to admit it or not we've been hearing endgame calls since Greenspan. Turns out the endgame has quarterly earnings and Treasury auctions. Collapse is always just one chart away"

"Saying X BTC = X BTC is like saying X ship = X ship while the tides moving. True but useless when youre trying to dock. So yes Bitcoins up huge and thats great. But that doesnt mean the dollars broken. You still pay rent taxes and groceries in USD. If BTC were the standard your house value would swing like a meme stock. Until BTC becomes the unit of account its asset inflation not currency death"

"Every currency ends but not all collapses are catastrophes. The dollar may fade like an empire not explode like a mine. And bitcoin might inherit the ashes but itll inherit the same flaws too just translated into code. Every new form of money claims to fix human bias until it runs into human behavior. The ledger might be incorruptible but the participants never are. The latter is what matters"

"Bitcoin still runs on belief just redistributed. Instead of faith in a central issuer it demands faith in math code and incentives. You still trust that miners will act rationally that the network will stay secure and that humans wont abandon it for the next consensus toy. That doesn't mean they won't only that you believe they won't until you see them do it"

"The natural state of markets isnt deflation its equilibrium disturbed by policy productivity and demographics. Fiat manipulation can distort pricing yes but hyperinflation needs collapse in velocity control and confidence not just central bank meddling. Most corrupt systems inflate; very few ever implode"

"I should be insulted that you called me boomer when clearly I'm GenX. 😂 If Bitcoin hits 200K it wont be because the dollar collapsed; itll be because liquidity and adoption matured. Asset appreciation doesnt equal monetary failure. Its just another chart that people mistake for prophecy"

"Totally fair that it feels brutal. The gap between official CPI and lived inflations real. But thats erosion not detonation. Hyperinflation isnt expensive groceries its no groceries. Were nowhere near that cliff. People mistake discomfort for collapse (as witnessed by so many of the replies to my post). But inflation isnt apocalypse its entropy priced in dollars"

"Sure and both examples prove my point. Lebanon and Venezuela lacked reserve currency status global debt markets and monetary credibility. Their collapses were fiscal implosions not mechanical inflation. The U.S. systems flawed but its not remotely comparable. Hyperinflation is never about currency first its about trust burning faster than paper can smolder"

"@JSmiffey @Maxipsycho Clever metaphor but it's a flawed analogy. Hyperinflation isnt defined by moral outrage; its defined by velocity and price compounding. The threshold isnt emotional its functional. Which means the precision isnt denial; its the line between crisis management and chaos"

"You're talking about asset repricing not hyperinflation. Consumer prices follow only after liquidity waves have lifted stores of value first like gold equities Bitcoin etc. What you're talking about is nothing more than capital rotation. It's certainly not monetary collapse. Simply changing the denominator doesn't change the definition"

"@grok @Majikqp So we agree then. It's not apocalypse just extended drama. As I've mentioned numerous times to different replies to my OP the endgame's always coming but it just keeps getting refinanced"

"The fact that I have to continue explaining this proves that our education system has done a terrible job of preparing people for the real world. The rise in the demand for gold doesn't equal hyperinflation. Gold is bought as a hedge not a headline. Watch central banks. You'll see that they rotate reserves when real yields compress or geopolitical risks spike. As I continue to point out hyperinflation needs collapsing bond demand and runaway velocity neither of which exist today"

"Yes innovation is deflationary. Technology necessarily drives costs lower. But the broader economy isn't purely markets. It's credit it's policy it's demographics. Can producitivity-driven deflation coexist with monetary inflation The answer is yes because supply and debt service create opposing pressure. That's a managed imbalance not a contradiction"

"Policy and confidence would both need to collapse in order for us to be on a trajectory toward hyperinflation. So to answer your question I would say that we are on inflation persistence but not runaway at least not yet. Global demand for US debt remains strong and the Fed can still drain liquidity at any time. But hyperinflation is a crisis in faith not a spreadsheet error. As long as people continue to settle contracts in dollars the system will continue to hold. And it'll take a lot more than what most understand for people to no longer settle contracts in dollars to the degree required"

"I agree debt growth's not sustainable over the long term. But the debt-to-GDP ratio doesn't automatically cause hyperinflation. Have you seen Japan Currently over XXX% and still fighting deflation. The relationship between fiscal deficits monetary velocity and confidence is what really matters. The U.S. still commands global demand for US Treasuries even while borrowing it's own currency"

"Exactly. @AP_Abacus @TEXASOL61 and I have discussed this on the Beards and Bitcoin show. Stablecoins are a transitional mechanism meant to repackage not replace fiat. As you are probably aware most are backed by short-term USTs and dollar reserves. Effectively they end up extending the dollar's reach not ending it. On a few of the replies to my OP I have mentioned that the system is likely to evolve rather than hyperinflate and this is likely the first step of that evolution"

"Oh man an economics degree Great If you want to compare degrees here's mine: BIS in finance economics and political theory/philosophy and a focus in real estate (yes I managed to acquire almost XXX credit hours as an undergrad 😂). MS in Applied Psychology with a focus on Applied Economic Psychology. MS in Homeland Security with a focus on Governmental Decision-Making and a J.D. with a focus on Corporate Law and Emerging Tech Law. So I know a bit about interdisciplinary thinking and writing especially at higher levels. Now that we got that out of the way we actually agree more than it sounds."

"Yes that would be the treadmill effect that you're describing. Policy is expected to accelerate as a response to offset tech-driven deflation. But that's not a flaw it's the actual design. Productivity gains are absorbed by the expanding credit system. And that means that the true throttle is rates not printing. So the imbalance isn't steady. And it's managed through cycles not revolutions"

"@AIZEN30XX @grok Shadow estimates always run hotter than the official CPI number I'll give you that. But even if we use alt-metrics like Truflation or Chapwood you're still not seeing 40-50%. That would require double-digit compounding for four straight years"

"Wut The definition of hyperinflation is XX% per month month-after-month. Twenty percent annual sucks yes but it's severe inflation and nowhere near hyperinflation. It's a different regime that is compatible with functioning markets stable contracts active lending etc. Hyperinflation ends those overnight"

"@sat_shinakam_t_ Doubling over four years is XX% annualized inflation. Does it suck Yes. But it's nowhere near hyperinflation. We've had cumulative erosion not runaway compounding. Hyperinflation doubles price every six weeks not every presidential term"

"@Splaishy @orgcoingoup @QuintenFrancois If you're asking does that mean hyperinflation then the answer is no. Fiat systems tend to molt rather than implode most often"
