Agree but that doesn’t answer my question about what productivity would look like in a fixed money supply economy, say a Bitcoin one. It seems like producers would be incentivized to make and sell immediately but consumers would be incentivized to delay purchasing. How would an economy like that function irl? Please explain it to my like I’m 5.

How long will consumers delay purchasing? Until the day we die? We can’t wait forever. Time is our most precious commodity. To put it another way: i can’t wait until tomorrow to buy my food. I need to eat today. The same reasoning applies to lots of other things: I need a place to live today. I need clothes today. I need transportation today. Etc. Even frivolous things: I want entertainment today. The alternative would be to make frivolous purchases … when? Never?
