Obviously hyperinflation is a bad thing, and well-managed governments don't have that.

But inflation isn't the same as volatility. Even when it's high, it's still gradual, predictable within a range, and goes in one direction only.

Bitcoin volatility is sudden, completely unpredictable, and goes in both directions. It's far worse in every possible way.
