Sure. But we are talking about inflated asset prices. Printing more money just makes the truly valuable things take more units of an inflated currency pool

Only true if everything else holds constant. Also, wouldn't just apply to asset prices but all prices.
Everything else, unfortunately, is not holding constant. [0]

Now this is just my conspiracy theorist side coming out, but I think the only reason the government cares about frequency of exchange is that they get a cut on each event. The more frequent the exchange, the sooner they get 100% of it back.
It's incorrect to refer to monetary inflation as just "inflation." If you're talking about price inflation, we're not seeing that yet - although 5 year inflation expectations are popping back up again [0]
So far, it's looking like the Fed is doing as best as could be expected.
