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.

hell Mises and Rothbard talked about state economic intervention to avoid the deflationary problems I'm talking about
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
