Hyperinflation is here already.
Houses hyperinflation
Stocks hyperinflation
Crypto hyperinflation
- jessaustin 5y agoThis seems backwards? In all three cases, the dollar is experiencing inflation, since over time it takes more and more dollars to buy each asset.
- machinebun 5y ago1) Neither houses nor stocks actually qualify for hyperinflation (50%+ rise per month); crypto is the only one that potentially could, though again, hyperinflation is generally not a concept applied to assets - it's specifically for consumption goods. If hypothetically the U.S. government announced that they are banning cryptos tomorrow and the value crashes, what happens to your hyperinflation? (The FED has the lever to control "inflation" - or rather asset price appreciation in all three of the above by controlling the interest rate and rate of bond purchases, so talking about inflation in them is kind of useless. The FED could crash all three markets (stocks, crypto & housing) tomorrow if they wanted to) I can live my life just fine without owning a house, stocks or crypto, and in fact many people do.
