I see a lot of themes relating to bitcoin on this sight that I just don't buy.
First; to not consider the purchasing power of bitcoin. This is the 1 sat = 1 sat or 1 btc = 1 btc theme. Purchasing power of a currency is fundamental so to not consider it is a mistake. Right now, the easiest way to consider its purchasing power is to think about it in terms of dollars. This will never go away until there are generations who didn't get accustomed to the dollar. But again, thinking 1 btc = 1 btc is not even sound in my view. I don't think of dollars this way - I think of $1 in the context of its purchasing power and its marginal value to my overall net worth.
Of course 1 sat = 1 sat in the literal sense, but if that is the only way you think about it I am happy to receive as many sats as you are willing to part with.
Second; that deflation is good for a currency. I am not talking about a little deflation here or there, I am talking about consistent, year over year deflation. I would argue that this extreme deflation (or increase in purchasing power) of btc is one of its main barriers to ever becoming a currency. I'd be sick to my stomach if I bought a house with btc when its purchasing power was 1/3 of what it is today. Maybe someone has solved this, but what would a mortgage even look like?
I know the austrian economists like to scoff at the idea that people delay purchases when there is deflation, but I certainly would. At least for big things. I am already cheap, knowing I can make money by doing nothing means I would do nothing.
Anyway - I am not going to debate these topics in the sense that I want to convince you to think my way or make counter arguments to your points. I am simply hoping to better understand how the collective SN community thinks about these.
