no thats just Bitcoiners armchair economic misunderstanding John Keynes was highly critical of constant monetary expansion. what he was an advocate for is *top down control of the economy* which is why he was an idiot. NOT because he was a proponent of monetary inflation but its fashionable to screech "youre a Keynesian" so I expect it.

Horseshit. No, Ludwig von Mises never advocated for government intervention to fight deflation. In fact, he strongly opposed such measures. Mises viewed deflation, particularly in the context of a sound monetary system, as a natural and healthy market process. He argued that attempts by governments or central banks to counter deflation through inflationary policies or intervention distort market signals, lead to malinvestment, and prolong economic adjustment.
I'm wrong here about "state" part. Neither of those guys advocated for state intervention although Rothbard had some writings about structuring markets to avoid extremely deflationary conditions
