    That’s a job of central banks, and they normally manage it well enough. Sure, crypto offers more reliability on that front by making it impossible to control emission. But at the same time, this means money can’t be printed when it would be highly beneficial for the economy, for example when recovering from economic crisis - without extra emission the country will be screwed up real bad. At the end of the day, the fiat emission is agile for good reasons.
