Wow! When you put it into that perspective, I see things in a whole new light. I guess that is what happens when you establish a currency without pegging it to anything (including with Steemit).

I would imagine the inflation rate would get worse if the FED decides to have the US gov pay off its debt any time soon. A whole lot more money would be printed, lowering the value of our dollar in a way never seen before.

I also wrote an article about money, specifically how Wealth Inequality is Inevitable
. I address the wealth inequality heavily prevalent in Bitcoin. I would love to hear what you think?
