I am not changing any fact. The dictionary shows the fact.
The action is not in question (printing). It is the effect being questioned by people who do not understand supply and demand.
The effect has the same meaning as evidenced by the dictionary, which you are throwing a tantrum (feelz again) about.
Printing money causes a devaluation (or depreciation) of the currency. This is a fact, and it's equivalent existed long before oil was around.
Duh...
You trying to twist facts to suit your ego doesn't help people to understand the truth. But then maybe I'm wrong, it's your slow processing power that's the main root cause.
I will use an easy example just for your benefit. I'll use the same example I gave
@samspade by using a car.
I hope you do understand the simple mechanism of buying and selling a car or if that's too hard let me know.
Devaluation
When a new car is in a showroom is priced at 25k then it's the market price set by dealer/manufacturer.
It's when said car is devalued by 10k to now be priced at 15k either to clear their excess stocks or to gain market share.
The point here is, it's a deliberate action.
This is the meaning of devaluation.
Depreciation
The moment a new car is bought the depreciation starts and the quantum is highly dependant on the age of the car and the mileage, this is decided by market forces. An older car will have less overall productivity.
Can you understand something this simple to apply it to the currency of a country and how it works ?
But I'm betting you're gonna have a hard time processing it all lmaoooo
