Our inflation or hyper-inflation, if it happens, won’t be via printing paper money. Money is distributed differently these days and people can bet for and against any currency. This is kind of a restraint on hyper-inflation because the USD will start violently tanking in the markets and become non-viable quicker than a hyper-inflation kicking in. But some items like precious metals could hyper-inflate while others just inflate. Silver has been hyper-inflating...sort of. But it has been hyper-inflating against the Euro and other currencies too
