This is quite besides my main point, but in any case, it's your economy, not ours; I don't see why the USD should be the measuring stick. The reality is that the amount of Bitcoin is being inflated every ten minutes.

For inflation, it's not. A basket of real goods and services is. There are few practical baskets whose price, in Bitcoin, isn't falling.


that is not what inflation means in an economic sense.


Well, all nation state currencies get printed out of thin air. I don't see the downside to block rewards / BTC creation every X minutes, especially with a fixed supply limit.
