> We'll see where money goes when there's nowhere good to invest it AND fiat currency is being inflated like crazy

We're literally seeing that now. The money is flowing out of BTC even faster than all the other investments losing value.

The original article is overstated and lacks nuance, but he's not wrong on that point.

When people are talking about "inflation" my inclination is to think about at least 2-3 years as a time frame.
