How are we feeling about Balaji’s prediction?

i love Balaji

but US literally has never experienced hyperinflation

this would be unprecedented — and i don't think that we are in unprecedented times yet

maybe his definition of hyperinflation differs from the commonly accepted 50% per month

i don't see US printing twice as many dollars as is already printed

(They absolutely took advantage but still)

I mean - they 4x'd the supply in response to a global crisis and all we got was 8% inflation. Not sure I see them doing enough to get us to 50%... especially when >50% of the country is panicking about inflation.

For now only 8% it takes a long time to play out
