I've heard people say that Bitcoin is a refuge where money can go to escape inflation, but if the value of BTC is always listed in fiat currency, won't it inflate along with the fiat?
It will deflate. The cheaper the fiat money, the more expensive the Bitcoin.

>the more expensive
In the inflated fiat currency!
Don't we need a measure of its value that is independent of fiat currencies?
I think we should evaluate 1 BTC based on how many liters of drinking water it's worth.

the point is that if you held your money in cash, you'd be losing money due to inflation
desu no one knows where to put their money. everything looks scary

So as someone making minimum wage, i'm doing reat! correct??? Obviously I'm not but I mean in terms of efficiency...
Why not just buy fucking gold instead of memecoins?
We're not going to need an internet black market if we're heading into the dark age.
The idea is that the value of the BTC in terms of goods and services remains constant
eg in 2016 a coke costs $100 and a btc costs $100
in 2020 a coke costs $500 and a btc costs $500
btc has escaped inflation in this example

Not if people start using it more. At least, not as much.
Read an article recently that the number of users using BTC as a currency has gone up significantly.
