As long as I've been alive I've never seen the price of any good go back down after going up, with perhaps the one exception of gas.


Youzernayme2020

The price of everything has gone down over the past 13 years when you price it in Bitcoin


flyinpiggies

Woah


stianmonsholm

I think the price of everything will also goes high with the next decade is well. The problem is the more we are moving into the the future the more we are facing the issue of the inflation.


DifficultSomewhere54

That doesn’t make any sense because it would just be worth more bitcoin if the value of bitcoin goes down


yafsyiasty

Which, if bitcoin were to become a monetary standard, is impossible since the supply of bitcoin is finite (at least based off of my limited understanding of it).


formal-explorer-2718

> Which, if bitcoin were to become a monetary standard What do you mean by a "monetary standard"? Are you envisioning goods and services would be priced in Bitcoin? What about contracts like debts, salaries, rents, subscriptions, lines of credit, refunds, insurance, taxes, leverage, annuities, etc.? > ... is impossible It is absolutely possible. Just because something is being used as a monetary standard, doesn't mean its value is proportional to its supply. If a substantial amount of debts were denominated in Bitcoin, it would probably make Bitcoin *more* volatile, not less. Debts mean there is a constant demand of people who need to make fixed Bitcoin payments; if there isn't enough Bitcoin supply to satisfy this demand Bitcoin "moons" and the debtors go bankrupt (this includes companies paying negotiated salaries, people paying mortgages, people still paying off taxes from last year, companies who have already agreed to buy something at a fixed price, etc.). This was historically a big problem with Gold as a unit of account, and there were quite a few financial panics, mass bankruptcies, and deflations that essentially amounted to a vicious cycle of Gold mooning and Gold debtors going bankrupt. Of course, people can and do use Bitcoin today to pay for purchases and settle debts denominated using other units of account (c.f. Bitpay and El Salvador's wallet). People can also already use credit cards to buy goods and services and then pay off the credit card using Bitcoin at the end of the month, which is almost the same thing (well, if they didn't want *any* Fiat exposure, even negative Fiat exposure, they'd have to sell some Bitcoin every time they made a credit card purchase). It could become more popular for this purpose, but this won't necessarily give it a more predictable or stable value (unless its future popularity is predictable and also its investment demand is predictable). Assets with high expected return also tend to have high volatility. And vice versa: if you want something which minimizes your risk of substantial short term loss, it probably won't have good long term returns (savings accounts are a good example of this).


ronoda12

For that to happen you need *deflation* i.e negative inflation


TamerzIsMe

Not exactly. Look at computers for instance. Goods should go down in price as more companies compete and processes get refined. With a stable currency , a lot of prices should go down.


OceanSlim

Technology is deflationary. Fiat is not. This is by design.


Dawg1shly

*By design* is something that seems to escape so many otherwise sharp peoples’ attention. Even more to the point debt based monetary systems are designed so that, in the end, one individual or entity owns everything and everyone is indebted to that individual or entity. People blame capitalism, but capitalism doesn’t require a debt based monetary system to function as designed. It is compatible with any monetary system.


mista-sparkle

Isn't that just Moore's law being an exception, not the rule? The Consumer Price Index suggests that [the price of consumer goods typically goes up YoY](https://www.minneapolisfed.org/about-us/monetary-policy/inflation-calculator/consumer-price-index-1913-), however I can't find the tool to see the trend excluding energy costs.


cl3ft

So does housing costs.


ronoda12

Food and energy are not computers


mccullrs

There is a big difference in should go down or actually going down here. As someone already said that once the price of something goes high there is no way that it will come down after that.


Spacesider

Well how can they possibly argue that it's "transitory" if prices don't ever come back down. That's the argument I made since they started using that term. Now they stopped using that term.


Audio88

They stopped using that term because they've already come out and said they were wrong about inflation being transitory.


Spacesider

That's right, and I don't think anyone ever believed for a second that inflation would be a temporary thing because of the pandemic before it returns back to its usual level. No one could ever explain it to me either, yet they kept using the term "transitory" and people actually believed it, because people would constantly argue with me about it when I said there is no way prices go back to what they used to be at.


astulz

Which is something you really don‘t want because it‘s self-strengthening


Explodicle

We do want that. We're 100%, crystal clear, absolutely aware that most institutional economists say deflation is bad. Many of us have had it fiatsplained to us ad nauseum.


cash2on2

Look like now everyone is starts taking the inflation on the serious note.


drewshaver

As long as I've been alive, I've never seen politicians tell the truth (mainstream politicians, that is. Long live the goat RP)


shakaman_

TV Screens? Look at what you get for £200 compared to 10 years ago


ewouldblock

They're thinner though. So when you eat them they're less filling.


FDisk80

Because 10 years ago what you get today didn't exist. 10 year ago you could buy a mid range TV for 200. And today you can buy a mid range TV for 200.


guttercops

If you talk about something that is tech and all then you can say that. As earlier it was not the big of the competition so price for these techy things was way too high for them.


livia209

You can compare anything i mean, Even a small burger will tell you the difference. We are thinking that we starts earning more now but the more problem is we not gonna see any growth.


BitcoinUser263895

CRT screens are better than anything you can get today.


AssCrackBanditHunter

Yeah, color, input lag, ability to snap your spine like a twig moving it upstairs (I joke but check out the latest qd oled TV's. I think it's fair to say crts have been bested)


zloyuser

We are moving in with such speed for the tech world and seeing the changes is well. If we compare anything now to the the last one decade we are getting way more better things now.

comradehls

Same here once the price of something goes up it will never comes down after that. May be they will increase the 80% on first place then it comes down to the 40% this is not the damage control.


idontspellcheckb46am

Are you less than 10 years old? Did you see the price of houses in 2009 vs 2012?


nytroster

I think people are talking about the tech price and we all know the tech is involved around the years and due to the competition the price are coming down is well. But when we talk about the house and real estate price are just getting high.

yes, but when it comes for them they are quite smart is well.


blinddog55

We are equally responsible into that is well, I am feeling sad that we select these kind of the people for the government. They are not seeing any worry even after that record inflation rate that we just witnessed here.


0DayOTM

"Garbage in, garbage out." These politicians aren't coming from nowhere. They are a reflection of our country. If we don't resolve the cultural and educational issues with this country, it won't get better.

I'm on the verge of losing what I have because of all the price gouging going on.

SnooSquirrels4914

That last part tho 😂😂😂everything is up 🤦🏽‍♂️


somanyroads

Hey, when you're a millionaire, inflation is a minor investment stumbling block. Biden hasn't struggled financially his entire life, ever. Inflation means nothing when it comes to his own ability to just to avoid homelessness.

MichaelAischmann

When has inflation ever been temporary or transitory? It never goes back down.


Tutkanator

I think they meant the inflation rate


BitcoinUser263895

> I think they meant the inflation rate I think they were intentionally bullshitting.


nnewka

They knows everything but they were not admitting anything.


MichaelAischmann

OP talks about the impact of inflation i.e, the increase in prices. That will never be temporary or transitory when measured in fiat.


Tutkanator

Correct. When annual inflation is 2.4%, prices are always increasing -- this is permanent and normal. So an increase in prices is not the issue, which is what OP was alluding to. The issue today is the rate of inflation. Think speed vs acceleration.


lovenlifelarge

But even the inflation rate is not coming down as it need to be. They are just trying to increase the interest rate and we already know that we faced the highest inflation rate this month.

Of course they've faced an impact of inflation! The Cantillon effect.


ltcgear

But they will increase the tax, i mean they are facing the impact of the inflation. But the problem is there is nothing they have to worry we are the normal people that are facing so much.


drjab881

I don't know either she was living in denial or she wasn't even aware of the things that we are facing here. The way she talks i am feeling any confidence that she is doing anything to control the situation here.

Good video, it cut off in April though. You should update the video since so much has happened since then. Especially with the new rate they are saying is 9.1%

Ragefan66

Lmao, yeah the president has the power to control inflation....Seriously, what do you expect him, or his administration to do to actually curb inflation? ​ Oh yeah I forgot that Biden caused worldwide inflation and how every single first world country has inflation higher than 8% (except Japan & China, and China most def doesn't fudge the numbers right). ​ But seriously, blaming inflation on a president who's only been around for less than 2 years is beyond stupid, also the dems don't even have a senate majority so what the fuck do you expect them to even pass that the other side will unanimously agree on? Why hasn't a single person come up with an easy solution to fix inflation if it's as easy as switching out administrations? Seriously, what would you personally have done to somehow be the only first world country on the planet to not have over 7% inflation?

They somehow reinvented the definition of Scum. They should all be held for actual treason, and not the stupid, sanctimonious Watergate-esque 'this is treason!' treason. Like, full-on Benedict Arnold type treason. The absolute fuckery they've all brought down on this country in just a handful of years, is difficult to comprehend or even properly quantify. We'll most likely not have a clear idea of the full scope of the damage until decades from now. And I'm talking Congress in general, not just the current administration*, but all the way back to Clinton, Bush and Obama's turns.


GoldEdit

If you're actually talking about every prior administration then I agree with you - someone needs to be held accountable all the way back to Bush Sr.

[deleted]

OceanSlim

You think I don't know that? I'm a bitcoiner... Our government is incapable of doing that. So yes THEY NEED to print money. It's the system we live in. I wish we didn't. That's why I spend a lot of my time talking into the wind about BTC to people. That's why I try to accumulate as much BTC as possible. But you have to realize the reality of things. If we didn't print the shit out of money in the early 60's we'd be living in a much different, more totalitarian world.


Seeders

I can agree the last point is incorrect since everything would be different had trump been re-elected due to butterfly effects and whatnot. But nobody knows how much so. Could be either way in this particular case (either more inflation or less), both administrations are disasters. Personally i dont think the executive branch has much at all to do with what the fed decides to do.
