Well, when people say things like "fiat currency is being gamed", then that's like saying production of food is being gamed. Of course. Any complex good or service that is required for the well-functioning and benefit of a society is "gamed". I.e., constantly managed to adjust to circumstances of need.

The gobbledy-gook of the Austrians -- a) who all experienced the post-WW1 inflation brought on by war reparations, etc. b) had no experience with western liberal democracy until after WW2-- combined with libertarians --inflation-exists-separate-from-standards-living economists-- is what always strikes me as Monty-Pythonesque. Just like that sentence.

An economy is NOT a system over which you have mechanical control. It is a set of objectives . For your economy to operate reasonably and benefit everyone reasonably fairly requires Keynesian and econometric methods (and their evolution) combined with (most of all) enlightened democratic government and electoral systems as free of the influence of money as possible.

Money/currencies/value stores are not what make a fair and productive society. Taking away control of these in liberal democratic societies will undermine that project generally. Giving that control via crypto and fake ideologies like "decentralization" to a totalitarian political system bent on replacing one of the foundations of western liberal democracy (the dollar reserve system) is not good.

Crypto is a cult and like all cults ends badly.
