We have heard our elders saying " we could eat full stomach for 5 paisa when we were students which would be approximately 50-60 years before". And now we have to pay 500 Rupees to have decent food for one person. I myself could travel in bus from my village to the district center (27 Km) for 2 Rupee 30 years back which now costs 38 Rupees - a 19 times increase.
And this story is not only in India but all around the world - you hear same type of story whenever you happen to talk to elders of society or look back at your own life.
This is clear that the purchasing power of any fiat currency, issued by any government across world, has consistently gone down. And this decrease in purchasing power of fiat currencies is called inflation.
The question is - who makes them inflationary? and why do they do it?
The answer to first question is very simple - the governments of the day make them inflationary by printing more currency than required.
The answer to second question is bit lengthy. In society there are workers, managers, planners, leaders, preachers, and non-contributors. Except the non-contributors all other produce or help produce something of use for society. If only contributors were to be the consumers then, although inflation still will be needed - I will explain that later, but will be much lower. And this I call good inflation.
But non-contributors are also consumers. Either society has to provide them in the form of state grants or they will steal by whatever means. Now governments for whatever reason if start giving in too much to non-contributors either by choice or by compulsion then it is very easy to expect that inflation will rise much higher. And this I call bad inflation.
It is not difficult to relate that all poorly governed countries had, have, or will have in future bad inflation. Saudi Arabia is case, for will have in future, as it is a society of least contributors and most are living om grants from government. As the Oil demand in world collapses due to use of alternate and renewable energy -the Saudi’s will see hyperinflation. It is not something that has not happened in history. Many great economies have collapsed for this simple reason.
Another example is Reservation policy of India - by which hard earned resources by capable people are being spent on incapable and non productive people of society and at the same time opportunities are being deprived to capable people to contribute for the development of society. Please watch below video - how India exporting its talent to elsewhere
Let's move on from bad inflation discussion as it is not the main topic of discussion for this post. It is actually the good inflation that I am going to discuss and how Steem Inflation is good inflation. Tune in now to the article.
We now know that the value of the unit currency decreases while supply of currency increases with time due to inflation. Therefore, it is in the interest of all those who have their wealth in the said currency to grab (yes grab) more from additional supply of currency. And to grab more the participants have to take part in some activity which is linked to reward mechanism of the society. It is obvious that activities that innovate or help innovate are rewarded more than those that just cater to current needs. This help to create and redistribute the wealth in such a way that those who secure and improve the future of society will become wealthier than those who are just helping to meet current needs. Therefore, it is the activity, that you chose to engage in , that dictates whether you will become wealthier or poorer with time. Look at below image to get this point that shows how wealth of companies enraged in new tech increasing much faster than those involved in age old activity like OIL. In 2016 none of the company that dominated in 2001 is in Top 5.
So if you don't do anything then for sure you will become poorer with time irrespective of the size of your current wealth. And which activity you chose to participate in will dictate your relative growth of wealth over time.
In Bhagwat Gita - we have most famous teaching from Krishna. And that is:
कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भुर्मा ते संगोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥
In English its meaning is written below:
You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself to be the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty. - Bhagavad Gita, Chapter II, Verse 47
In the vedio below it is very nicely explained by Krishna to Arjuna:
The highlighted text above is very important. Don't engage in an activity expecting returns instead do something that makes you happy and satisfies your inner self.
And I am sure we all know how Nike uses the same concept
How Steem Inflation Fits in all this and binds us all into it ??
It is this power of good inflation and selection of activity you chose to engage in, as explained above, that has been used in Steem blockchain to motivate users to contribute for the growth of Steem and so of the users - as we all collectively own Steem blockchain. The rewards of steem come from gradually decreasing inflation from 10%-0.95%. This reward pool is then distributed among those who do some activity on the blockchain as per below arrangement:
"Of the supply of new tokens created by the Steem blockchain every year, 75% of those tokens compose the “rewards pool” which are distributed to content creators and content curators. 15% are distributed to vested token holders, and 10% are distributed to Witnesses, the block producers cooperating inside Steem’s DPoS consensus protocol."
"75% rewards are distributed among content creators and curators in the ratio of 75% and 25% respectively"
Now YOU can decide which activities of Steem blockchain you are equipped/inclined/motivated to participate in. Accordingly you will earn rewards.
Activities Directly affect Your Rewards on Steem Blockchain
- If you are passive investor -then you earn 15%.
- If you are witness then you earn 10%.
- if you are curators then you get 25% of 75% reward pool
- If you are content creator then you earn 75% of 75% reward pool
- Develop apps on steem blockchain like dLive, SteemPress , busy.org etc,
- Promote steem blockchain like @jerrybanfield
- If you are investor bring investors from your network
- if you are author - get more authors to register
- If you are good at identifying good and original content then invite other curators
- Write motivating posts so that others become more active develop positive outlook
- If you know exchanges then get steem listed on new exchanges
- And be ready to launch your SMTs as soon as it is made possible on the blockchain
- Help police bad behaviour like @arcange who lists out any scammer on the blockchain by simply resteeming his posts
- Ask difficult and uncomfortable questions to those who are in leading position on the blockchain
"Either invest money or invest time"And remember anybody who invest money has actually invested his time somewhere and earned that money which is invested here. So if u can not invest money then be ready to invest your time in learning required skills to excel here. But please don’t complain about somebody is earning so and so. You too can if you care to.
Good Luck & All the Best
Happy Steeming
Read my best post so far my story of one year on steem and learnings
I agree with this article...
Steemit is not an easy money grab like some of us thinks. I invested time to learn the basics, interact, chat, comment, make an article and invested some money. We need to start somewhere to get our feet. At the end of the day, we are all responsible for our own success. Great writing @prameshtyagi
Investing time only won't actually work for new members. I know because Steemit was an experiment for me to actually see if it is possible to generate some Steem or SBD by not investing a single dollar.
As you probably know, things got a lot easier when I started using bots. I honestly think a minimal investment of at least $100 is required to have a nice start. The content quality will determine your earnings from there.
But u can earn that 100 $ too although it will take longer
I know I quoted it again from my old post. But it is so relevant for us and for the post that I had to.
I thank u @hiroyamagishi
It took me some time to realise that inflation of steem is not leading to be a ponzee scheme but actually an age old mechanism that has been used in history to incentivise, induce, unite, compete, and motivate all stake holders to work effectively for a common cause.
how come this post gets flagged? your post is quite informative. BTW i considered steemit or steem as my retirement fund, i don't care about the prices at all. All i know is im still keep posting until 2030 in steemit.
First look at the post: Pasteim Inflation: Efficient performances that are a tool description for the effective rearrangement of resources that everyone will love very much. We can see that we can eat a meal when we were such a student about 50 to 60 years ago, important things are discussed very well. In this way, a brief discussion comes in the way of talking about the world or looking back on its own life, in terms of social labor
U need to work on your English to let others know what u want to say. Good luck.

just help those in need
Great job! I am very optimistic on the future price of steem. I'm surprised more people don't invest money and or time. You can even make money doing autovoting. There are definitely a lot of opportunities.
Yup. U are right. But slowly more people are coming
And on a positive note the steem price did go up over 100% in April. Hopefully it can do the same in May.
Great Post. I enjoy reading it. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
thnx. It took me half a day of writing but many days of thinking
I'm agree with you, now 20 USD nothing.
thank you for shiring @prameshtyagi
Growth is the best tool to curb poverty in developing countries. I believe that policies to promote economic growth actually boost GNP and do not help to alleviate poverty, so I think redistribution of wealth is the real key to containing the scourge of poverty.
Since the 1950s, development economists have emphasized that the increase in GNP does not necessarily mean an increase in social welfare rates. From an economic point of view, economic growth is a means and not an end, through which the real goals of poverty reduction and social progress can be achieved.
Well my point is bit different - Incentives through Inflation need to be optimally directed so that people are motivated to contribute positively. If we just donate which induces lethargic behavior, like what is the need to work hard or intelligently if I get my basic needs fulfilled by donation, then we are doing more harm to those whom we donate as well as to entire society.
So wealth redistribution should be attached with an objective to promote positive and constructive behavior.
Good point
yes man you are right that a long time ago we didnt required money full of hand to have a decent meal,but now we are giving more money than we are getting to have a meal.time changed everything.

I agree with this article , new word grows by new money revolution
"Invest money or invest time" - that pretty much applies to everything in life, does it not?
Yup but people keep forgetting so reminder is good
I really don't understand is this inflation or more peoples are gathering more money.😂
Add salary change for a better comparision
Its really nice. Well writing. Its really cool and awesome. Thank you so much for sharing. Upvote and Resteem done.
Thnx
your think is correct, day by day every product price is up, if product price is continue up trend one day people face big problem..
Life is changing and everything is becoming more and more complicated day after day. That is unfortunately the situation in every country right now. People spend the same money for less things. Everything is getting more expensive, while the salaries are not increasing.The rich is getting richer and the poor is staying poor :(
Big countries are spending money on unnecessary wars and stealing resources, instead of helping poor countries and charities.
Solution is to chose to do right things instead of just doing anything
I like to see your good writing post & thanks a lot to share this content with us.

Apple is sure one heck of a huge company indeed. Good post @prameshtyagi
Yup
Wonderful tips, however how do you think we can get more people investing in Steem? I'm interested in this aspect of your post
For that read the post for which I gave link at the bottom.
In any case - only way to convince them to tell them to be part of new economy and higher returns then available anywhere else.
Its really helpful man . Keep posting it
thnx
Even though the inflation part of your post is a little scary as inflation is a reality globally, I'm encouraged to write more. I have some short stories that I am eager to release on this dynamic platform. Shoutout for another smash hit @prameshtyagi..
Sure. Looking forward to yr writeup bro
Thank you sir..
It's no secret that the use of strategies on platforms where we make profits like steemit requires the use of our skills to demonstrate where we can be most talented, and this pattern will make us more successful if we find the right path, but most likely it will, because when someone works as you say by dedicating time and investment, all that can come is profit, well said the faithful saying that he who sows and dedicates himself will get good harvests.
Absolutely. And best example here in my knowledge is @jerrybanfield
Ok, this post is so long, the writer is hard-working, I decide to praise him.
yup
Thanks for the excellent informative post.
thnx

Inflation has always existed, but it is controlled, if it is not controlled, what happens in Venezuela where prices soar, purchasing power decreases and economic crisis enters.
hmmm
I liked the little story you wrote

Anda sangat luar biasa, post Anda tiada tandingannya. Saya salut sama anda.
You are incredible, your post is unmatched. I salute you.
Appreciate yr sincere admiration
I am very sincere, saying that I am amazed at you
nice but thinking
I congratulate you, my friend, excellent explanation. The bad inflation that is occurring is happening in Venezuela, much money given away and little money for production, that is why we have hyperinflation at this moment. According to a report by the International Monetary Fund, inflation in Venezuela in 2018 will end at 13,864.6%. A true madness.
On the other hand, the approach that you make of steemit's good inflation is very interesting since it is observed that there are alternative forms of healthy inflation and search for the distribution of wealth. Governments and companies must walk towards these alternatives. Thanks for such good information ...
I am happy to know you liked it. Let us work with Steem as that is what we all can do
