    Most cryptos are deflationary. That seems to cause hoarding.

    Having no inflation sounds good to me if paired with no growth in population, but I know little about economics.

      I wasn’t even considering crypto. Thanks for the insightful example.

      That’s an interesting point. I wonder what it would look like if inflation were targeted to population growth percentage rather than a fixed number.

          Same. I got one of those large dispensers like dentists use and the corresponding bulk rolls of the nice ribbon style floss to fill it. I only ever use the regular sizes for traveling now. Keeps costs and plastic waste down. I don’t have to think about it for years at a time. It’s a small thing, but I like it.
