Quite the strawman. Mediums of exchange are specifically designed to constantly expand, and are a convenience, not a store of value. Those who treat it as such are going to get crushed. The US was founded on the concepts of Protestant Work Ethic - invest your surplus rather than hoarding it like the old kingdom economies. Why the moonbat gold crowd wants to go back to the Spanish Inquisition economies is truly mind boggling.

What both of them are talking about is not printing enough money to counter deflation. This quote contradicts you.

People who make this claim tend to be the most ignorant of history, as you have shown with your misunderstanding, and thus misuse, of that Bernanke quote.

The opinion of well informed professionals should be respected. You exhibit the Dunning-Kruger Effect well.
