I’m becoming increasingly convinced that this is the crux of the new currency wars: SOV first vs SOV/MOE simultaneously. I think both may win in the medium term but potentially only one wins very long term.
I think it will be the most secure and reliably uninflatable ones :)

A deflationary cryptocurrency has a low probability of being used for payments -- at any meaningful scale https://hackernoon.com/the-impact-of-bitcoins-deflationary-token-economics-on-its-viability-as-a-global-digital-currency-878f3042fb08 … ...A great store of wealth though!

how do you explain gold? By 1880, it was was mildly deflationary and yet it was a SoV, an MoE, a UoA, a global monetary standard and stable.

absent governments to continuously print more, a free market would never converge around an inflationary coin. fixed supply would be the schelling point. picking an inflationary one is irrational.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL9BHDEf0dI …

It’s impossible to make such a strong statement. We really don’t know. The market may converge around a mildly inflationary currency if it’s a more widespread MOE. Nothing exists in a vacuum except for your theories.
