  1. ECONOMIC INFLATION: The way I see it is that regardless of the currency utilized (gold, silver, fiat, crypto, etc), economic inflation is still economic inflation. ANY economic inflation over previous economic inflation, overtime, eventually becomes exponential economic inflation. If an entities' wages, benefits and investments do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, then the entity falls behind in buying power and becomes poorer. A nation will eventually fail as will a global economy will eventually fail with ever increasing economic inflation because most people do not have wages, benefits and investments that keep up with the true cost of inflation. Math is still math. Additionally: Space travel, the ONLY thing that will save any species on and from this Earth to continue to exist beyond this Earth (all species who are 'left behind' on this Earth will eventually die and go extinct), has gotten more expensive just in my lifetime. What is space travel going to cost in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now? Economic inflation just might be a contributing factor to all life on and from this Earth dying and going extinct. And we did it to ourselves, or more correctly the US Fed did it to us, including themselves. And they are supposed to be the 'smart' ones. There is more to life than money alone. First one has to have conscious existence for that money to have meaning and purpose to.
