The thing is that, under a deflationary economy, no welfare scheme is needed. Welfare is a consequence of fiat due to being the state the one that mints the new coins (best case scenario, on pair with economic growth). In a deflationary economy, economic growth naturally leads to a re-appreciation of the money you already have, equivalent in it's effect to the interests rates in the fiat system, but non-dependent on a central authority.
