Don't you find it interesting that on Hive, we pay each other?

Not really. We have various degrees of power to direct inflation where we want but the almost all of the value of those tokens comes from altcoin speculation. Those 200 million liquid HIVE on exchanges are being traded back and forth by people trying to increase their Bitcoin position. The same goes for any alt. The rate "high" of inflation on Hive is meaningless compared to the insane price swings mostly driven by Bitcoin over a long time frame.
