Garrett Jin, an agent for the "1011 Insider Whale," stated on the X platform that while Bitcoin is called "digital gold" and a potential currency, Ethereum can also be a currency. The argument that "inflation equals the inability to be a currency" is invalid because economies need an expanding money supply to match GDP growth. A completely closed monetary system would passively allow early holders to reap all the benefits, while new contributors would be permanently marginalized—no different from a dictatorship hoarding wealth. ETH's current inflation rate is approximately 0.8%, a manageable level of inflation. With its moderate inflation and real utility (DeFi, stablecoins, L2), ETH can absolutely function as a currency. Only moderate inflation can dilute entrenched wealth over time, allowing more daily contributors to participate fairly and driving healthy growth.
