BTC inflation will be lower after halving than for gold

After Bitcoin halving, cryptocurrency inflation should fall below the level of gold inflation. Incredible as it may seem, the vast majority of the cryptocurrency is already mined and in circulation. The natural supply on the market itself is very small. In addition, with the approaching halving, it is expected to decrease. What does this mean for cryptocurrency?

Bitcoin halving: Cryptocurrency inflation at almost zero

Gold inflation has always been considered perfect. The combination of a useful commodity and a historically valued substance makes it a safe haven during almost every crisis. However, over the last few years, Bitcoin has slowly emerged, trying to profile itself in the position of digital gold. And a few years ago, he was in the position of internet currency, which no one knew.

The whole discussion was started by the investor and co-founder of Electric Capital Avichal Garg, who shared the chart on his profile on the social network Twitter. According to the chart, Bitcoin’s annual inflation will be lower than that of gold.

Of course, halving plays a big role in this, because it halves the natural supply of cryptocurrency.

Garg wrote on Twitter:

Fun fact: As of May 2020, Bitcoin's inflation rate will be lower than Gold's.

There is a huge battle of investors on the social network over whether Bitcoin is more of a risky asset or whether it is considered digital gold. What do you think?
