user59315: I have recently seen many news articles refer to Bitcoin's inflation.
For example: "Bitcoin's inflation rate, calculated as the percentage of new coins issued divided by the current supply" Source
This seems to be an incorrect usage of inflation, at least relative to how it is used within economics. I also have no clue if there is a unified definition of inflation in the context of bitcoin.

user208: There is monetary inflation (growth of coins in circulation), and price inflation (the rise of price of goods and services expressed in some currency).
These are distinct but related concepts. The quote you're citing is about monetary inflation, which is - ignoring lost coins - well defined and measurable. Price inflation is a very different concept.
