>If enough of the right people believe that inflation is going to happen, it will. As such, when inflation is happening, there is often a push to censor discussion of inflation itself, under the grounds that discussing the problem actually causes it in the first place.

The flip side to this notion is that if someone stands to profit from inflation, they're incentivized to promote discussion of inflation with the hope of increasing it. Would anyone in the blockchain space stand to profit from the US dollar's demise?



Yeah I'd have to set some actual evidence of censorship, rather then just asserting it. Unless by censorship they really mean people arguing against them. There seems to be a thing now in some circles where any disagreement is considered censorship.
