So, I think it’s time to build solutions that directly address the problem (inflation). An interesting idea would be an NFT (I know…bear with me)that breeds a “child NFT” when CPI(inflation) rises past a threshold. Owner can sell child to cover inflation costs. Child becomes a parent when transferred, and similarity breeds based on CPI increases. Cycle repeats…

Would love to hear why it won’t work, how to improve it, etc.

Instead of asking governments to stop printing so much dang money, or, starting wars, both of which cause inflation, we can now say fuck it and build economic tools that protect people from the crushing lose in purchasing power. Let’s do that!!



Maybe ditch the NFT part and do it with actual children and you might be on to something.


Isn't that just a Ponzi scheme? What happens to the person who buys one, then the CPI is flat for 10 years.
