Another example of dishonest argumentation from the #monero folks whose only aim is to attack and discredit #bitcoin's design.

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.

You've never mined that coin. You've never used it to buy real stuff. You're just counting to hold and one replace it with fiat coins. Might as we'll get some stocks. At least those are based in real value rather than pure speculation. Monero is today the only crypto worthy of that name. The rest are just casino coins.
only Bitcoin maxis would call basic and commonsensical economic theory "dishonest argumentation to attack and discredit" people delay spending in deflationary environments. period. Bitcoin maxis talk about SoV all fucking day ffs. hodlers are disincentivized to spend because someday it will be "generational wealth." its fucking obvious and talked about all the time.
#bitcoin maxis will talk about SoV, hodl till you die, cent/sat parity, "generational wealth" all fucking day long but point out that deflation conditions (ie a fixed amount of monetary units and growing economy) disincentivize spending and investment, and they lose their fucking minds.

And yet I've mined bitcoin right at the beginning and I mine monero today. You did neither, yet you assume to understand "crypto".
as I keep telling you its a spectrum in a deflationary environment why buy a house when you can rent? houses just get cheaper anyway why invest capital in starting a business? that money gets more valuable anyway. theres absolutely no reason to believe that a fixed number of monetary units results in some magical Goldilocks zone where only degen super risky investments are discouraged. yes all of that is wiped out and that's a good thing. this is a standard revolutionary problem where the rebels impose their own insane policies because they're highly triggered by the excesses of the legacy system.
