Maybe he does think that his life as a wealthy person is going to improve in any way with hyperinflation. I'd disagree completely.
In fact, I think hyperinflation in the U.S. could likely stir up wars that (as we've imagined since the cold war) could very well break the world. Of course I know nothing of value about this, but chaos followed by violence and escalating into full blown war sounds possible. Or at the very least more possible than now, with a stable structure of power(s) that only shift gradually.
I don't think crypto coins are useful if the world order dissolves and we have trouble keeping up eletric grids, much less a working internet.
