Yeah, I'm sure people would be happy to transact in a crypto with 1000% inflation \s

Historically people have been willing to use currencies with inflation like the US Dollar. The point is that any government could build a out a crypto version of their currency if they so wished and have the same inflation policies they use with paper money. The crypto part doesn't imply a specific monetary policy. Crypto just means you can use it peer to peer over the Internet without an intermediary.
