Said nothing of the sort.. In fact I corrected you on that mistake multiple times. Nice try though.
Yes if the bills in your hand will be increasing in their purchasing power you will hold onto tthem more rather than put them in investments which you know will later be able to purchased with fewer dollars... Its not a difficult concept.
Only if you dont expect it to be worth even more later. if your money increases in value and you expect it to begin decreasing in value, then you invest... investing is about what you expect to happen in the future, not what happened in the past.
I told you what the term means.. investing is when you buy something with the intention of it going up in value.
Again your not understanding basic terms. I said hoarding money is bad, I didnt say hoarding wealth is bad.. having your wealth in investments that grow, and thus create new wealth is a good thing.
You seem to really be struggling with the separation between wealth and money. This is like half a dozen times I had to correct you.
two reasons
1) Because it takes wealth out of an economy and causes it to be stagnant. It takes wealth to produce new wealth and investments are how that is done. Money being locked in a box is the exact opposite of that and thus harms the economy.
2) because it huts economy in the long run it will lead to people loosing wealth and induce greater proverty.
People do not invest **in money** when it looses value.. They hold their wealth in other assets other than money to avoid their wealth loosing value.. I'm not sure why you cant get this really simple idea but I wont keep repeating it.
This conversation is over now.
