> people have this doom fantasy

It’s a weirdly predictable phenomenon around American inflation discussions. Has it always been this way? Is it renewed interest in gold bugging or people sour about crypto losses?



I have no idea. But it does seem to coincide with the booming interest in cryptocurrencies. I suspect crypto is many people's first introduction to basic economics and finance. Crypto has a very Hayekian / Libertarian bent, so I think it makes sense that this hyperinflation fear is so common 'round these parts.
