Assaf is talking about inflation/deflation of the money supply, you are talking about price inflation/deflation. BTW/ I am yet to see a good argument about why having a monetary system that is a good store of value and does not get diluted over time with inflation is bad. As far as why inflation is predetermined, this is so look here is a better store of value which is one of the defining properties of a good “money”. While a lot of people know abot bitcoin, there is such a shortage of good quality technical info. With that said, I’m pretty sure both your comments are right – quadratic speedup bitcoinczechia for finding hash collisions, and the asymmetric crypto stuff is broken. They’re not actually a float — as I mention in the article, the minimal unit of Bitcoin is the Satoshi, which is one one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.
