Inflation and Deflation of Price and Money Supply

[Barrykbest]

People are so used to inflation that they take it for granted. But this is not the case. Before Columbus discovered America, there was no inflation in the monetary system based on the metal standard (silver and gold). For centuries, the world has lived without inflation. When gold and silver from America flooded into Europe, it was only then that inflation appeared in Europe for the first time (food prices rose, followed by everything else).
After the complete abandonment of the gold standard, inflation began to rise at a tremendous pace. This is clearly seen in the example of the depreciation of the dollar, for example, over the past 100 years. Inflation makes people spin like a squirrel in a wheel. Moreover, it is ineffective for society as a whole. An inflationary economy is like a bicycle - if it stops (or someone pushes it), it will fall.
Can Bitcoin solve this inflation problem? Maybe. But bitcoin is a deflationary asset, which is also bad for the monetary system, as it leads to a complete cessation of monetary circulation. At the moment, there is no form of money at all that would be stable over time for a long time.

It seems that now, in 2025, the global community is increasingly familiar with Bitcoin. Thanks to the influence of news from social media platforms, people around the world are becoming more familiar with Bitcoin. Many young millennials are starting to invest in cryptocurrency, using Bitcoin as their primary reference. However, the problem is that some conservative older generations, who are still less interested in the technology Bitcoin offers, still view gold as a guarantee for their assets. However, if they were more open, Bitcoin could be the real gold of the future. If gold continues to be used as a guarantee against inflation, the consequence will be that more natural resources will be damaged in the future due to the increasing amount of gold mined by humans.
Wide public adoption of Bitcoin is the answer. In addition to addressing the challenge of inflation on asset values, Bitcoin can also save the earth from the increasingly worrying impact of mining on the environment in the future.

Bitcoin doesn’t behave exactly like gold; its limited supply creates a deflationary tendency, but at the same time it’s borderless, instantly transferable and programmable. Those features give it monetary velocity that gold can’t match. The real question isn’t just gold vs Bitcoin but how people and institutions can build systems around a deflationary digital asset so money continues to circulate instead of sitting idle. That’s where payment layers, lending markets and other services on top of Bitcoin come in.

You’re absolutely right on that one bro. Gold has always been the traditional store of value, but it just can’t compete with the flexibility Bitcoin brings. The fact that Bitcoin is scarce like gold makes it powerful as a hedge, but the programmability and instant transfer part is what really sets it apart in this digital age..  People and institutions can actually build real systems around it instead of just letting it sit there.
That is why we are already seeing things like payment layers, lending platforms, and even experiments with DeFi on Bitcoin. Those extra layers give it movement, so it is not only about holding for the long term but also using it actively in an economy…

The rate of inflation is getting alarming especially in African countries which the primary cause is considered to be corruption, over 80 percent of African countries blessed with mineral resources are been affected by the same problem and solution is yet to be found.
Corruption they say is the root cause of inflation which can not be controlled until corruption is properly managed, and to manage it some drastic decision must Be made to archive it for example,   in 2022 a young brave citizen of Burkina Faso called Abraham Traore  stood up to fight against corruption in the country which payed off by sudden increase in there GDP by 22 percent since he took of power and have reduced constant inflation in the country

Not only in Africa but also the main reason for inflation in many countries is corruption. The same thing is true in our country because we are facing same problem due to corruption. The reason is that when government funds are not used properly or resources are wasted, production does not increase but the prices of goods gradually increase. The way Abraham Traore in Burkina Faso has fought corruption and taken his country forward is a remarkable example because increasing GDP by 22 percent in a few years really proves how fast an economy can improve if there is transparency and low corruption. Similarly, the rest of our countries should follow the same path not only changing the government but also the people should be aware and always demand proper accountability. When the people are able to demand accountability from their government, corruption will decrease and money will be used properly in the public sector which will increase investment in education, infrastructure and industry and the overall situation of the country will improve which will gradually reduce inflation.

Businesses, hard assets, comodities and real estate protect against inflation but have a high risk of regulaltion and low liquidity, you can't move the asset easily from a jurisdiction to an other.


Gold and Bitcoin are good vehicule to keep liquid value if the official currencies become restrict, both the digital and the cash form of it.

But you can move Bitcoin across any border and in unlimited amounts. No one will even know about it. Why carry a wad of cash when you can exchange Bitcoin through exchangers and receive cash on your card anywhere in the world, anytime? Personally, I like blockchain technology for this opportunity, and only then for all the other advantages. It's nice to know that at least something is working for the benefit of humanity.

Here come the Keynesians...  

MoneySupply-Inflation is when the value of Bitcoin decreases when the total supply of Bitcoin increases. In our current state, this is at a generation rate of 25 BTC every 10 minutes.

After just bashing the "keynesian" definition of inflation, you segue right into your own piss-poor definition. Money supply inflation is when the total money supply increases. No more, no less. It does not necessarily mean a change in the value, because if the money supply increases at the exact same rate as the increase in demand, there is no change in value.

Money Supply Inflation refers to the devaluation of a currency due to the increase of the Money supply. Whereas, an increase in the Money Supply is exactly that, "when the total money supply increases". The former is an effect of the latter, and I wasn't referring to the latter.

Now to consequently address the demand argument...

In any real economy, there is no guarantee that demand exists (maybe in the keynesian paradise, but that's about it). However, there is a guarantee that the Money Supply will increase.

Money Supply Inflation (or inflation due to an increase in the money supply) exists regardless of demand, contributing to the devaluation of the currency. Demand simply helps to stabilize or increase the value and price. Sure, they can offset when they're equal, but that doesn't mean inflation due to an increase in the Money Supply doesn't exist.

So I will argue that Money Supply Inflation does mean a change in the value.

MoneySupply-Deflation will essentially never occur. It is when the value of Bitcoin increases when the total supply of Bitcoin decreases. This may happen, say, when someone loses their private key and all the BTC associated with it are lost.

First you say it will never occur, then you say well it could and does happen.

Keyword "essentially". It happens, sure, but on a scale so small that it's negligible. The details here aren't a huge issue, I'll edit that to be more specific. Though, I think most other people get it...  

That being said, there is a SET DECREASE in the generation rate of BTC, so you have sort of a "deflationary effect" in the value, as long as more exchange occurs for BTC at a rate which is faster than that set generation rate.

The set decrease in the generation rate would be called "money supply disinflation" if you want to, god forbid, use another modern economics term. And exchanging money for services at a faster rate than the generation rate has no deflationary effect, only the demand for currency itself affects its value. If the velocity of money increases to account for increasing exchange, there need not be any change in value.

That statement was regarding the exchange of FX for BTC ie demand for BTC that is greater, not faster. That one can be clarified, as well.

When all 21 million coins are produced, the MoneySupply will be neutral, and the value will continue to increase (prices will decrease, consequently), as long as people continue to exchange in BTC.

Again, exchanging does not increase value, demand for more currency will.

You're right, demand can increase the value of a currency... but someone has to have a supply for that demand... and god forbid the two got together to have an "exchange" *gasp*! They would have unknowingly increased the value of both items!

 

So yes exchanging does increase value, and it doesn't have to be between currencies. When the first pizza was bought with 10,000 Bitcoins, they had (maybe unknowingly) set a value of Bitcoins at around $10/10,000 BTC, or 10,000BTC/pizza. This would go on for a while until the value is where we are today.

Sure, I could edit some things to be more specific. Though, I have a feeling that won't satisfy your issues with the first argument...  

All Right.What you are saying here is a clear difference between the effects of increasing the money supply and the constraints on demand. I am reframing it clearly:

Monetary Inflation
Definition:The depreciation of the value of money due to an increase in the total money supply, which affects prices.
Key point: It is not dependent on demand. The value of money decreases as the money supply increases, and prices are likely to increase.

For Example
The central bank prints additional money in the market.
Even if demand is stable or low, the value of money decreases the price of goods and services increases relatively.

Demand and price relationship
If there is demand, prices can increase even more.
Even if there is no demand, an increase in the money supply causes the depreciation of the currency,that is inflation is automatically created.

This implies that an increase in the money supply = inflation, although demand can increase or stabilize it somewhat.

An increase in the money supply causes a depreciation of the currency and a consequent increase in prices, regardless of demand. Demand can only accelerate or slow down the effect, but does not affect the existence of inflation.

Gold sure does have its own reputation as a store of value, Bitcoin operates on completely different scale due to its ability to combine both utility and scarcity, unlike Bitcoin, gold just sits there. No doubt that gold is valuable but the truth is that, gold doesn’t really do much. But on the other hand, Bitcoin behaves not only like a digital gold, but also a kind of a programmable financial network.

[viljy]

A lot of people in crypto don’t like to admit it, but you’re right that store-of-value behavior and medium-of-exchange behavior are often at odds. Bitcoin’s design naturally pushes it into the SoV lane because of its fixed supply and slow issuance—so human psychology does the rest.

It is impossible to create a currency that has only the function of a medium of exchange. At first, Aristotle spoke about such money, then the adherents of the Nominalist monetary theory, but this is a utopia. Even if the form of money was created as a nominalistic one, sooner or later this monetary form always begins to have the function of accumulating and storing value. By the way, the history of bitcoin perfectly demonstrates this (and you are absolutely right to notice this).

At first, bitcoin was (and was created for such a role) purely nominalistic coins that lacked not only the function of storing value, but even utility (unlike natural monetary surrogates). But over time, bitcoin acquired the function of storing value. Then bitcoin even acquired some utility, for example, as an asset for the DeFi. Thus, the purposefully created ideal form of nominalist money naturally turned into at least a classic monetary surrogate, and at most into a commodity similar to gold.

The form of money cannot have only one function. However. If loan interest somehow disappears from the world, it will seriously reduce the role of money as performing the function of preserving value. But this would mean a complete change in the social structure.

The challenge is designing something that maintains predictable day-to-day value without relying on a centralized authority, but still allows elastic adjustments in supply or liquidity conditions.

So it's similar to algorithmic stablecoins. However, all algorithmic stablecoins rely on the dollar in their binding mechanisms (mainly in the form of USDT or USDC). If the basis of the system has the function of a medium of exchange, the function of storing value (and losing value in the form of inflation), and utility (in the form of a DeFi), then any derivative analogues will inherit all these functions, which shows the futility of such attempts to create a "pure medium of exchange."

There is another factor (which the creators of crypto projects do not talk about out loud) that prevents the creation of an ideal form of money. They launch their projects precisely with the aim of giving their coins or tokens a value storage function in order to pump up the price and make a profit. This goal is covered up by promises of high utilitarianism and the role of a universal medium of exchange.

Gold had been a medium for these old folks for longer time so it will be very difficult for btc that's new to take over what they have known for ages just like that. Gold is an essential and a rear resources that's hard to come by and even in the next centuries to come, it will still be valuable and will still be used to backup currencies by different institutions. BTC will be adopted more by the generations that knows about it and the coming generations that will be taught about it. For now there's absolutely nothing that can be done about the older generations not giving damn about btc.

  From what i have experienced so far Inflation and deflation are not  just buzzwords — they’re basically the pulse of how healthy (or stressed) an economy is.
 When money supply expands faster than the real value being produced, prices naturally inflate because more money is chasing the same amount of goods.
 On the flip side, when money supply tightens or spending slows, you get deflation(prices drop) , but that can also  tell you that demand is gradually becoming weak demand or liquidity is drying up.
 In the crypto space, we have seen how inflationary tokens lose value when issuance outpaces utility, while the deflationary or capped -supply assets tend to go bullish  only when demand actually grows.
  So it’s not just “inflation bad, deflation good” ; it’s about how balanced the supply is with real economic activity.

[katebrownell86]

I really appreciate the depth of discussion here. One thing that often gets overlooked is the distinction between price inflation/deflation and monetary inflation/deflation. Price changes in Bitcoin are largely tied to exchange rate fluctuations and market sentiment, while monetary inflation is strictly defined by Bitcoin’s predictable issuance schedule.

Another interesting angle is how mining contributes not just to supply but also to demand. As some members have pointed out, miners invest real resources (hardware, electricity, time) into the network, which reinforces Bitcoin’s security and credibility. That added trust can increase willingness to hold BTC, indirectly supporting demand even as new coins are introduced.

In the long run, once the 21 million cap is reached, Bitcoin’s scarcity will make it behave differently from traditional currencies. At that point, demand and utility will be the main drivers of value, and the deflationary nature of Bitcoin could become even more pronounced.

When a country is operating under a healthy economy, that is to say an economy with fair governance willing to look into the issues affecting the nation and not those vulnerable once whoes affairs are controlled by non  focused and leaders without vision. A country with a healthy economy finds it easy tackling inflation by some recognized pattern which could be by operating in a price control policies and other related structues.inflation is one of the easiest challenge to look into because of its transparent system

I’m curious though, what “recognized pattern” are you referring to exactly? Price controls can help short term, but long term they sometimes create shortages. Do you think inflation is mostly a leadership issue, or more about global factors too? Legit question, just trying to understand your angle.

When a country chooses price control system as there desired option to reduce inflation, they also never forget to establish a system with constant production of those said commodities and also provide strict policies after proper investigation and analysis that won't only be beneficiary to the citizens but also to the producers. Talking about shortage, it can only exist when  there is know structure to constantly provide those specific product in question therefore creating vacuum at the distribution market. For example, Argentina, Venezuela or even north korea that operates under the same said price control system why don't they have shortage at the distribution market.

Yes you are right corruption is the main reasons behind inflation, when the corruption level of any country is high the country is always likely to be affected by inflation. Some countries especially African countries who's leaders are like parasite that depends on the host without offering any thing to the host, the corrupt political representatives in african that where elected to push the affairs of the nations ends up destroying there economic balance only because of there selfish interest, that therefore ends up increasing the inflation rate all because of what they stand to gain and there  greed mindset

For example, Argentina, Venezuela or even north korea that operates under the same said price control system why don't they have shortage at the distribution market.

You see, price control works only when there is a balance of production, supply and incentives. If prices are forcefully reduced, this can anger producers (who has spent a lot to make production) which makes them lose interest and output drops. What governments can do is to support the producer with good infrastructures, subsidies, and a stable policies. If those things aren't done shortages will always show up, even if they are hidden at first. Real solutions can happen if  there is a boost in local production, proper distribution not by just fixing prices on paper.

Gold had been a medium for these old folks for longer time so it will be very difficult for btc that's new to take over what they have known for ages just like that. Gold is an essential and a rear resources that's hard to come by and even in the next centuries to come, it will still be valuable and will still be used to backup currencies by different institutions. BTC will be adopted more by the generations that knows about it and the coming generations that will be taught about it. For now there's absolutely nothing that can be done about the older generations not giving damn about btc.

Actually it won't be difficult because of these two things but it's only difficult to obtain them. However in my understanding gold is certainly more difficult to obtain because the process takes a long time, plus the current price of gold is increasingly crazy on the market. However Bitcoin which currently provides many opportunities for all groups to invest in Bitcoin is different.

Regarding Bitcoin, of course not all groups understand about BTC because many people who have entered the age of 40 and above certainly all they know in terms of investment is in the form of Gold and this is different from young people with internet networks everywhere and also with the information they get through their cellphones, of course they will be stronger in knowing about investment matters not only with Gold but also with BTC, whether short-term or long-term investment is not a problem.

Access is easy, DYOR isn’t. That applies to both gold and Bitcoin

[Rubuchi]

Businesses, hard assets, comodities and real estate protect against inflation but have a high risk of regulaltion and low liquidity, you can't move the asset easily from a jurisdiction to an other.


Gold and Bitcoin are good vehicule to keep liquid value if the official currencies become restrict, both the digital and the cash form of it.

But you can move Bitcoin across any border and in unlimited amounts. No one will even know about it. Why carry a wad of cash when you can exchange Bitcoin through exchangers and receive cash on your card anywhere in the world, anytime? Personally, I like blockchain technology for this opportunity, and only then for all the other advantages. It's nice to know that at least something is working for the benefit of humanity.

the governor of a state was recently arrested because he was caught in another country in possession of stacked money which is against the policies of that country and the government of that country was about to take action to punish and publicly disgrace the governor before quick calls were made to the people highly placed in the government to beg for his pardon which we heard was later granted. We had these information from people close to the government although it was meant to be an open secret so the media did not capture it. I am wondering had already gained solid grounds and was to be used by leaders to launder public funds , how is it possible for the system to monitor them, investigate them and bring them to book?

Thank god you specifically said the person in question is a governor, in as much as the governor in in alliance with the leading chamber in the country forget about it, they can never be brought to book because they themselves are the law and can never be punished know matter there offence. Honestly speaking now the law is not for those in power but only for the poor masses whom the law is supposed to protect thats why even if things gets worst it can never affect those wicked leaders

[Mate2237]

When you talk about the law to a large extent the law is actually ment for the poor and weak in our society this is why top politicians can lunder Money and go away, am not surprised about this news because in my country I have heard this types of news on several occasions were public office holders especially state governments will siphon money ment for the development of the citizens to foreign accounts and on most cases bags of money has been found to be in the possession of these government officials. And yet even if they are caught the government will use deplomacy to silence the Case.


Corruption has been the main problem of most countries especially the developing world . If government main business one of the things that, they will have to fight openly is corruption because corruption is what brings nations and down to it kneels.
