Make no mistake. I don't deny that inflation will set in. I am one of the earliest on this BB to highlight it. I am just saying you need to distinguish the term hyperinflation (50% monthly increase). This can only happen with a collapse in currency which is usually triggered by default, sudden collapse in gov income, or mass destruction of industry or all three. I can't see it happening for those countries mentioned. Argentina, Venezuela yes but UK, US, EU no.
Inflation could sustain 4-5 which is deep down, actually what the government wants. GDP growth accompanied by moderate inflation which means the debt pile gets rapidly smaller without them having to do anything. This is stealth financial repression. If you have cash, 5 years later, it is worth 50% less! Places to be are property, gold, commodities, stocks. Maybe bitcoin but this is prone to speculation and government control.
Ultimately, gold is king.
