It seems like many believe this because of reasoning like "we should tax billionaires because of their immoral gluttony (they couldn't even spend it all if they wanted!)" but the much better reason is that it is simply too much power in the hands of people accountable to no one.

Of course IPFS essentially solves this, though it still seems odd to me that you need to use an entirely separate system to verify what the token is supposed to be pointing at.

It was always completely bizarre to me that the large NFT sites did not put even the hash of the image in the token. At any moment they could swap the image located at the URL, requiring independent archives in order to verify what the image originally was. Not serious

It can both be true that housing prices don't go down and housing becomes affordable over time, e.g. housing prices remain stable while incomes rise.

These designated bike streets are a joke. Their label and the lower traffic level lull cyclists into a false sense of security when being doored is a constant threat, along with the fact that some of them are barely wide enough to fit one bike and an SUV. (Here's York St)

Even though the literal definitions of both concepts are simply about prices over time, the main underlying causes in modern economies are not actually mirrors of one another.

I'll take a whack, for my own understanding: deflation is a balance sheet issue in the sense of deflation being caused by the "low demand creates low demand" feedback loop. This is opposed to inflation as a problem of too much money chasing too few goods.

Don't worry, we can just switch to calling it Bell's non-samesies (not inequalities!) and quantum tunneling through energy blocky-things (not barriers!) and spin uppy-downiness (not polarization!) and...
