@pluralistic @JorgeStolfi @rvkennedy @immibis @funcrunch @kcoyle I feel like this is also one of the stronger arguments in *favor* of the concept of fiat currency vs 'traditional' currencies. I don't like the idea of someone digging up a bunch more dollars and suddenly the currency goes crazy. At least when Central Banks do it there is a *purpose* to it, not the vagaries of chance.
