Complete collapse is bad for bitcoins. A gradual transition is better. The powers that be are trying to drag this out until something happens to save them, they don't know what. Alternatively, it is until they die, or are completely invested in land and security forces, along with the political capital to preserve these resources.

The current situation is not natural, and has no precedent. How would anyone know what to do about it? Do you think they are that much smarter than you? Do they know some secret method for dealing with the end of 50 years of inflation? They are just hoping for a paradigm changing event/idea before it collapses and playing CYA in the meantime.
but this inflation rate is only the official, this graph does not include the money produced by the banks lending money.
IMO the Bitcoin should not be traded mostly with USD, because value will dicrease with the USD inflation (and i expect the inflation to increase). if Bitcoin would be compared with an extremely constant countervalue, the value of Bitcoin would not decrease because of the incompetence of the US Governement and the Federal Reserve.
or would the BTC get automatically a higher value compared to USD, if USD inflates?
