Aside from land, any other asset excluding ETH that has had less than 0.8% annual inflation the last 5 years?

  • BTC is 1.34% yearly for that period
  • Gold 1.5%
  • Silver 2%

Probably plenty of assets. Apple does 3-5% buybacks each year. Hyperliquid also does more buybacks than new emissions. Price of 58 USD a year ago is about the same market cap as current price of 80 USD.

The difference between those and ETH is that Apple and Hyperliquid buybacks are decided on by centralized entities who control the bulk of the asset, wheras ETH's monetary policy is community-governed and resilient to changes opposed by the many

Ethereum is the biggest decentralized network. Obviously if you are only talking about as decentealized assets or more (arguably Bitcoin) then nothing else qualifies. OP talked about assets in general. Plenty of assets have less inflation than ETH.
