Ratings Inflation

Hmm, i rec that many who plays cl have much worse Ratings in their Bullet or Blitz Games. So i guess most of the people play here bullet/blitz and thats why the elo is much more accurate than the classic.
The stronger players play blitz or bullet, no classical. As everybody starts at 1500 and as 1500 is the median/modus/average of the rating distribution here, that means that the rating in blitz/bullet is lower than in classical.
does this mean the my rating will go up over time. what is the inflation rate?
No, it means that rating on lichess corresponds to a lower FIDE rating.
