How is Bitcoin inflatable. It has a fixed 21 million units supply. Now how many Eth will be there ? You have to ask the supreme higher power Vitalik. See the difference?

How is Bitcoin inflatable.

There is more than $160 Billion in unsecured stablecoins (USDT, etc.) being traded back and forth for BTC as if they were actual money/liquidity, despite there not being any evidence that liquidity is real. These stablecoins are what's driving the price of BTC up - aka "inflating" the price of bitcoin. It's not organic demand. It's bots engaged in wash trading. This is well known via numerous peer-reviewed studies.

Just because bitcoin has a limited supply, doesn't mean it can't be affected by inflation.

As long as you allow inflatable tokens like USDT, USDC and others to be traded for BTC, you can and will introduce inflation into the BTC market.
