"producers will become more efficient" isnt a "logical argument that stems from free market dynamics"
you make it sounds like a graduate thesis.
the fact is
increases in efficiency will have to AT LEAST beat the rate of deflation.
and as our example illustrates
it isnt easy to do.
Bitcoin is a deflationary SoV, why spend if you just end up with less purchasing power?

Under the fiat system, standard practice, investors discount future cash flows for inflation because they know the money will be worth less later.
However, with Bitcoin, the opposite happens: future purchasing power is likely higher than today’s, due to its fixed supply and increasing adoption. So instead of discounting for inflation, you apply a premium for Bitcoin’s appreciation.
The result? Even if an investment returns fewer bitcoins in the future, the real buying power could be far greater. Just as we adjust for loss under inflation, we can adjust for gain under deflation. This flips the script: sound money doesn’t kill investment — it makes it more intentional, more productive, and more aligned with long-term value creation.
except on a Bitcoin standard
like Matt
you spending Bitcoin now
to get less Bitcoin later
why risk it
if your money is going to appreciate anyway?
