but to answer your question I suspect theres a big difference between 0% and .83% so it depends where on the timeline we are speculating about doesnt it? i agree that on a long enough timeline its likely monero isnt *inflationary enough* to avoid the same problems I'm talking about. the meme is a joke I still haven't heard a reason why y'all would object to the money supply simply keeping pace with economic growth and purchasing power remaining constant.

While an elegant meme format, 2 and 3 are arguably the same if by money supply you mean that which is circulating (otherwise not entirely sure what 3 means), and that doesn't lead to 4, which is also effectively equal to 2 if you fast forward a "few years".

3 means that the growth of the money supply matches economic growth. so if there are more goods and services ("value") the money supply inflates to represent that, if there is less stuff, the money supply contracts. the result is the purchasing power of a monetary unit is constant year to year. not achievable but worth thinking about.
