If printing money was proportionately as costly as mining BTC, the presses would not stop 'til it costs more than a dollar to print a dollar.
Welcome to the problem of inflation.
It's not like you create value by printing a bill, so you will dillute other peoples value.
It's not like you create value by mining a bitcoin, either. At least the monyz smells nice. And what's wrong with inflation? Who told you it was a *bad* thing?
You do create some value as you process transaction (the same value we were debating the whole thread about, yes that what Visa does....).
Inflation is not bad for everyone, people with debt (like our states) love inflation. But it certainly is bad for me as my money buys me less stuff.
It's merely a redistribution of wealth, inflation doesn't destroy any value (the effetcs of high inflation can do that though).
