At the time of the announcement, the moderators of most of the subreddits involved with the community points program claimed to be unaware of the decision.
I initially replied but deleted my reply because I wasn’t sure of myself but I’ve looked it up just to be sure and I can reply again in confidence: Gold isn’t deflationary.
Gold is a standard in which remains stable among the currencies when compared to commodity goods. As other currencies inflate, gold also inflates, because it’s somewhat stable. Gold’s value does not increase over time, even though its value in relation to inflating currencies does.
Essentially, as an example but one pulled completely out of my ass here: If bread cost 1 gram of gold 200 years ago, but that was a single shilling but now it takes 1000 shillings to buy bread, gold is now worth “1000 shillings”, but still buys the same bread. So it’s not increasing in value vs the things around it, only other currencies because they are inflating.
Which means that it’s deflationary against euro or usd. Also “there’s a limited amount of it, the difficulty to mine it goes up as there’s more of it”. So according to your definition gold is a scam. I wonder who is going to pull the rug on it.
