> No on needs to be a rocket scientist to know that a loan with interest is selling the future to have a better present... It is selling the future generation to have it good right now... No it isn't. Loans are just for having any future at all, not a better one. The farmer borrows to buy "inputs" (seed, fertilizer) so they can sow then harvest & sell & payback later. The merchant borrows to buy merchandise they can sell later etc. Students borrow to learn so they can sell their skills later. Loans are just a fact of having to spend first before earning in any business. > Its impressive you think larger prices are better. Thinking at own business or maybe own real state. And can't see there will be always a bigger fish applying same poison to you. Mild inflation is the best we have. I don't see how it benefits the big guys. > Inflation good?!?! For whom?!?!? For how long?!?!? How come... > When I asked it, I was expecting some deep economics answer on supply/demand/ innovation / productivity... But then I get a greed based answer?!? 😳😳🙄🙄 Don't know how that makes me greedy. The economic rules apply to everyone and don't benefit me in particular.

"Taler is for merchants" it seems to be some sort of p2p system. All crypto "currencies" lack a price stabilization mechanism. USDT seems stable but you have the counterparty risk. There is a counterparty risk with Taler too similar to the cashu mints people are promoting here but it's simpler and doesn't need a blockchain. As for the quantitative easing, inflation for USD and other similar currencies is in the low single digit % I can live with that.

> It does make sense as a lot of stuff gets cheaper and cheaper to be produced or to own, and all the leverage our economy uses makes some things unaffordable (e.g. housing). How is cheaper better? I'm completely mystified. What products and services are you selling? Getting paid less and less every year is somehow a good thing? Do you have loans? Isn't this going to make paying them off harder and harder?

> Its a bit of the largest on the room always wins and determines the economy and prices, right? No? In a democracy the actions of the government are determined by the people, including all departments of the government like the central bank. This of course requires involvement and that's a fair piece of work so a lot of people are just opting out of the process but that's their choice.

> If you may please explain a bit more how an outside currency would affect prices in bitcoin? No one lives on an island. You're always dependent on the "outside". You'll have to deal with their economy. The closer your economy and your prices are aligned to the outside the better you can do that. > What makes these strange prices that dont go down? What are these? Is this something I said? There is intentional inflation of 1 or 2% yes, by increasing the money supply mostly, it keeps prices from slipping into deflation which would cause a downward spiral.

> Can't the price of everything else be intentionally set and stabilised in BTC? And with this, it would not matter how the world around fluctuates... Price fixing has never worked anywhere ever. > Or is it that economy will never work like that and the exterior will break/crush these intentionalities? Correct. > In post modernity nobody depends on each other, but its the zero and the infinite. The individual depending on the giants Big Government and Big Corporations... That's why it keeps fragmenting and people don't come together. No need to depend, no group. Unless we intentionally decide to depend... Is that the future. The coexistence of these two models. Or is there no chance and we will be enslaved? Depending on big corps instead of your neighbors is a convenience and an indulgence like fast food. It'll go horribly wrong in the long run just like eating (only) fast food will go horribly wrong in the long run. You will need to muster some willpower to resist the temptation in either case.
