Ask HN: Is inflation-resistant stablecoin possible?
In page 92 of Messari&#x27;s 2023 Crypto Theses, there&#x27;s a paragraph stated that “As reserve currencies continue to inflate away purchasing power, we need new currencies that maintain their purchasing power. I believe we’ll get an inflation-resistant stablecoin in my lifetime. And it will be glorious.”<p>My understanding is that the author believed that inflation-resistant stablecoin is possible and well needed, but isn&#x27;t inflation-resistant stablecoin impossible?<p>If the supply drops, inflation happens, every currency that can be used in trading is affected, included crypto coins.<p>On the other hand, if a crypto coin is not being traded, it&#x27;s possible that its price wouldn&#x27;t be impacted by inflation, then why would anyone need a coin that can&#x27;t be traded.<p>My question is, how can an inflation-resistant stablecoin can possibly be designed?
