>>3. To be able to deny you the ability to park fiat currency out of circulation as savings. Which, in turn, requires creation of additional new fiat currency to replace it in circulation.
>that essentially puts the brake on inflation retard, people stop spending
Parking (mostly fictional) fiat currency OUT OF CIRCULATION, as savings IN A BANK, is DEFLATIONARY. Until that money is reintroduced into circulation.
>well that too but there's still crypto
It's not legal tender so you won't be able to buy shit in the real world with it.
>cash is fiat too, has been since quitting the gold standard
1. My point was that we would move to an ALL FICTIONAL fiat currency that doesn't even exist as physical cash and coins.
2. The gold standard was and is a fiat currency as well, you fucking retard. The gold standard DOES NOT PREVENT unbacked claims to fictional gold which doesn't exist in the bank vault or is the property of someone else from being fraudulently issued by banks.
BANKING IS LEGALISED FRAUD. Of course they can issue unbacked claims to fictional gold which doesn't exist in the bank vault or is the property of someone else. It's what banking does and intended and openly meant to do.
Today, the digital money is merely claims to mostly non-existent physical cash in the bank vault.
Back when the gold standard was in place, physical cash was claims to mostly non-existent gold in the bank vault.
>It doesn't sit there forever
While it sits there, it's NOT contributing to inflation.
>or when people only start saving and not spending the economy crashes
The economy would crash instantly at any time if the geometric growth of the supply of currency slowed.
>usually before that prices go down and profit vanishes, business go bankrupt etc..
Yes, capitalism cannot afford to purchase its own output/production for a price which makes it financially profitable to have produced it. Unless the money for the profits is continuously created and injected into circulation.
