    Does deflation increase or decrease the amount of debt? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

    Neither. If you currently owe $100 (interest free) then next year you still owe $100.

    I could literally do this all day lol its effortless to just be correct.

    Of course it’s effortless. You are asking questions and not thinking for yourself. I’m the only one giving explanations and providing the correct responses.

      Wrong, good try though. Yes, you owe $100, but each dollar is worth more, meaning you owe a greater “real value” (that’s an econ 101 term you should look up), or in otherwords, the debt increased.

      and providing the correct responses

      😂

        Nope. The debt is still $100. There is no increase.

        Being slightly harder to pay back is irrelevant if there are now only $50 of assets in the economy.

        The inability to repay debt caused the great depression, not deflation.

          Nope nope! You’re just denying deflation exists, now?? 😂 That’ll work. This is where mental gymnastics gets you. Sad!

          Well, looks like I’ve won.

                Dude. Read what you post.

                A little bit of deflation is a product of, and good for, economic growth. But, in the case of an economy-wide, central bank-fueled debt bubble followed by debt deflation when the bubble bursts, rapidly falling prices can go hand-in-hand with a financial crisis and recession.

                Deflation isn’t bad. It is a symptom that occurs after an economy-wide, central bank-fueled debt bubble. That’s the bad part. The debt that’s not being repaid.

                This takes us right back to the start of the discussion. In a crypto economy a central bank doesn’t even exist, so crypto deflation is never bad.

                  Does deflation make debt easier or harder to repay? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

                    If you are expecting $100 and are only going to get back $50, are you happy that your purchasing power has increased and you are really getting $51 back, or are you angry that you’ve actually lost $49.

                    The crisis is the default, not the deflation.
