I'd strongly disagree there, inflation is terrible for anyone with savings or bills to pay. Libertarianism is based upon Austrian economics, an entire economic school of thought. It isn't "ignorant" even if you don't agree with it.

OK, so since this is your principle, will you retract your claim that bitcoin wasn't invented to combat corruption? Even if you don't agree with the method or ideology, there is good evidence this was their intention.

And please explain how inflation benefits me, a saver with ever rising bills to pay. I'd be very curious to hear it. Relieve me of my ignorance.

1) None of what you just said addresses the claim that inflation "enables much of the corruption in our current financial system".

2) If you have debt, like a lot of people do, inflation means you now have less debt.

3) You have provided zero justification for why "bitcoin was invented to combat corruption", except through your unjustified claim that inflation and corruption are somehow connected.
