#Solana行情走势解读 Elon Musk Talks Dogecoin Again: An Alternative Perspective on Inflation Models

Recently, Musk shared his views on Dogecoin once more, this time focusing on DOGE's inflation mechanism. His core point is straightforward: this so-called "flaw" criticized by many can actually be seen as a design feature.

What is his reasoning? A steady rate of new coin issuance makes DOGE more aligned with the liquidity characteristics of real-world currencies. Unlike some cryptocurrencies that maintain value through scarcity, DOGE remains rational as a payment tool amid inflation — this was its original design intention.

Following his comments, two main voices emerged in the community:

One side consists of loyal holders who see this as providing a new interpretive framework for DOGE's long-term application prospects.

The other side remains skeptical — after all, this viewpoint has been expressed many times before, and the market's actual response is often the true test of any idea.

Regardless of perspective, Dogecoin, once considered a "joke coin," now occupies a unique position in payment scenarios and community enthusiasm. Discussions around it seem to never truly cool down. Perhaps this itself says something.

DOGE-2,65%

Elon Musk is once again defending Dogecoin, but the problem is how many times have we heard this rhetoric before... No matter how eloquently it's put, it can't change the fact of inflation. Using it as a payment tool? How many people are actually using it for transactions now?

I've heard Elon Musk's rhetoric too many times. Does he really think we're all just retail investors? It's both a payment tool and a design purpose. Honestly, it's just to promote his own DOGE. The market is the ultimate truth. No matter how nice the words, they are useless. How high can this wave go? Let's wait and see.

I'm tired of Elon Musk's way of talking, it's always the same... --- Inflation = Payment tool? Then why hasn't anyone actually used it to pay? --- Sounds nice, but isn't it just to pump the market? --- DOGE has survived until now, which is quite amazing, it shows there's something there. --- Wait, isn't this logic just self-deception? Inflation is just inflation. --- I just want to know when it can really be used for payments, not just empty talk. --- Community hype = value? Then I can also hype it up to the max. --- Forget it, anyway I haven't made any money from my holdings, listening to all this is pointless. --- If it were truly a payment tool, it would have been eliminated long ago. It's just hype now. --- Here we go again, always washing it like this. The market has already given the answer.

"constant emission rate = fiat-like properties" — yeah, data suggests otherwise when you actually look at velocity metrics. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick, but taxonomically speaking, this is just rebranding deflation concerns as a feature. musk talks, holders copium, market ignores. same cycle.

Elon Musk is once again whitewashing DOGE's inflation, saying the same thing every time, but what about the price? Let's just watch the trend; talking without action is just talk.

Elon Musk has started to defend DOGE again. I've heard this rhetoric many times before; it's really just about talking big. --- Inflation is just inflation. When did it become a feature? Who believes this logic is foolish. --- Honestly, it's quite remarkable that DOGE has survived this long, relying solely on the community and Musk's hype. --- Payment tool? Still the same story. Let's talk when it’s actually used in practice. --- Every time Musk makes a statement, the community is divided. This really says a lot. --- Constant production rate = perpetual depreciation. How does that become reasonable? I just don't get it. --- The story of DOGE can go on forever, but a story isn't the same as profit. --- Anyway, I can't see how it's different from real currency; they're all just depreciating. --- Faith is faith, but when it comes to real money, you still have to look at the data.

It's the same old story, heard it too many times. If it really worked, it would have gone up already.

I've heard Elon Musk's rhetoric quite a few times, and each time it can stir up some hype. The inflation mechanism of Dogecoin is basically a gimmick; if it were truly a payment tool, it would have already become one. But on the other hand, the community enthusiasm for Doge is indeed incredible, more active than many "serious coins."

Constant inflation sounds nice, but it depends on whether the incentives for retention can keep up. The strength of the payment tool's attributes still depends on the data of daily active transaction volume, right?

Elon Musk's way of speaking needs to be repeated every once in a while. Should we record him? Anyway, whether DOGE goes up or down, this logic seems to hold true.
