halalmoney on Nostr: I think there’s a fear of deflation as we are so used to living with currencies ...
I think there’s a fear of deflation as we are so used to living with currencies which are, as a matter of government policy, supposed to lose value at a steady rate (2% inflation target).
One interesting view is that if Bitcoin succeeds it will give people more time to discern what to spend their money on.
Are you aware of
