I agree 100% on the first part-- Bitcoin can't do it.

But I don't see a problem with it in Monero, for example. I did a little math that might be wrong but it looks like approx 153,000 new XMR per year from block subsidy, out of about 19M XMR. That's less than 1% annual inflation. It would take a long time to debase the currency at that rate, and it just slightly incentivizes spending (though if demand for it is high enough, the value will more than justify HODLing).
