The inflation rate is a measure of price changes of a large basket of goods. In a real economy, this can be affected by a number of different (but connected) things—the expansion and contraction of credit, the velocity of money (the rate money flows through the economy), foreign debt (esp, debt in another country’s currency), and so on. The dogecoin chart only shows base supply, which is not really a complete picture of economic function.
