Coinbase's John D'Agostino on why inflation comes in waves "I see nothing to indicate that the trajectory of inflation over the next ten to twenty years has changed in any way, shape, or form. If anything, the curve's been exacerbated." "Inflation comes in waves. The bond market and people get angry, and then we do some short term things to adjust it. It kinda cools off." "Even though gas prices are not the majority of consumer spending, we feel it more viscerally, especially in the US, than we do other aspects like food and rent." "When gas prices are low, people feel better. They feel they can still drive, and they can go on vacation. And so, we forget about it for a while." "Then we are reminded of it a decade or so later. So I think that cycle will persist."
