Just imagine if americans started saving their money.

Unless they’re saving in bitcoin or gold that would make inflation more lucrative for the ruling class.

Saving in general would help stop this tailspin.
Be it bitcoin, gold, or just putting money in their savings account and not spending frivolously.

The problem with that last option is that they can steal your fiat savings by inflating away the value.
The more fiat savings there are, the more wealth they can transfer to themselves.

True.
But in general, if americans save a bit more money, inflation would be depressed.
And prices of things would go down because companies would want you to spend money instead of saving.
It would change society as a whole.

I fully agree and have often encouraged people to behave like that.
Apparently, I’m in a cynical mood tonight.

Even if it is just a little bit, it would really change society.
