    With the next halving, the BTC inflation rate will drop below the US dollar inflation rate.

    With the next halving, the BTC inflation rate will drop below the US dollar inflation rate.

    This will be new territory for Bitcoin, never seen before.

    BTC inflation rate is about 3.67% right now. source: https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/

    US Dollar inflation rate is about 2.5% right now. source: https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/current-inflation-rates/

    After the halving, the BTC inflation rate will drop to 1.8%.

    Furthermore I am of the personal opinion that economic fallout from China's Covid19 actions will trigger a global recession, and a severe one at that. I suspect many governments will inflate their currencies even more than they already do.

    Regardless, Bitcoin is entering uncharted territory for the first time in its existence.... beating the US dollar in an important benchmark. It will be close, but BTC will have the slight edge. I am not educated enough to predict ramifications of this, but it's not a trivial milestone.

    Any thoughts on BTC passing the USD?

    EDIT: many posters have corrected my misconception... I indeed am comparing apples and oranges. I should have been comparing the "new" supply of BTC (although that itself is debateable) to newly created currency (though that gets tricky too, with fractional reserves). Long story short, it's more complicated than I set out. I'll leave my statements up so others can see what a fool I am, and point and laugh as they see fit. Be kind to one another, we are all here for love of BTC.

    Would it be wise to buy bitcoin right now?

    Posted: 15 Feb 2020 04:05 PM PST

    I've been reading about the halving that's supposed to happen in May, and I really don't have a huge understanding of how this all works, but from what I understand it would be a good idea to buy some bitcoin right now. I'm not rich or anything so I could probably only get a couple hundred dollars worth; but anyone have any pointers on if this is dumb or smart?
