      Henceforth, $1 shall cost $1. Inflation solved.

      Does this one need a sarcasm tag? I don't like using em but this joke is going to start zero fun conversations

      Sarcasm acknowledged. If it were possible, what do you think the world would look like if inflation were 0% for a few decades? I hope this is a fun conversation. If not, I'll settle for another joke, amusing anecdote or icy silence with a judgmental stare.

          That could actually make it a viable currency. Unless you mean the entirety of all bitcoin in which case lol.

            The assumed reason for inflation, as I understand it, is that on one hand things devalue over time and on the other we build our system around infinite growth and rewarding innovation (many asterisks here…)

            During the Middle Ages, neither statements were considered true, the world was considered stagnant and there was virtually no inflation. That was before the banking system - so with 0% inflation i would expect the banks to collapse…

            And then… I don’t know! Stuff is hard and economics harder…

              The world economies slow down probably.

              At negative inflation there is no incentive to spend your money because is becomes increasingly valuable the longer you hold it. With high inflation, there's incentive to spend because the longer you keep your money in the mattress the less it's worth to you.

              At zero it just is, but that's less than the usual goal of a couple percent of inflation year over year.

              Or maybe I'm full of shit idk.

                    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.

                                    if the US dollar crashes then Bitcoin would do the same, with that drawback why not just use the dollar? (I know nothing about crypto)

                                          I got the same macroeconomics education as a lot of people. I get why 2% inflation is a common target. I do, however, like thought experiments using extreme values.

                                          I wouldn't say it's a particularly idle question by social media standards. Admittedly, that's a pretty low bar. Perhaps I am uniformed. I'm definitely not being malicious.
