Post by: qikaifu on August 20, 2011, 05:13:33 PM
it's the same way of thinking as fiat money, which aims to stole the value of peoples who are saving the money.

Why couldn't you just say this in the Freicoin thread?

As explained many times:

1) You can save in many ways, not only hoarding the medium of exchange: investing, lending, hoarding real goods, paying in advance...

2) demurrage is not the same thing as inflation, their effects are different:
 A) Inlflation is an accounting inconvenience. If you think that is not important, just think that the prices must grow exponentially and the period for a given product to increase one unit in price will become shorter and shorter with time. Eventually it will become shorter than a second
 B) Demurrage lowers real interest rates while inflation only rises nominal interest rates

Computer hardware gets cheaper though. How much storage can a gram of gold buy today as opposed to ten years ago?

Sorry, I don't get your point.
