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.

Deflationary in what sense?

are you really quoting the notoriously Keynesian "the economist"?

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.

are u gonna pick a form of money whose supply increases 1% per year or 20% per year in supply? exact same logic with 0% and 2%. why would you voluntarily dilute your own wealth? its like burning money

We're not talking about what makes the best short-term SOV. It's possible that the lack of distribution or usage as an MOE/rise of a more ubiquitous currency turns investor interest away from BTC and this happens *before* it stabilizes/transitions to MOE. You think in vacuums.

you're grasping at straws and ignoring basic monetary theory. im done educating you if you're unwilling to learn. what distribution? BTC is more well-distributed than ETH. what investors? How do you not understand that payments don't matter. all they care about is SoV for now

it's simply irrational to park millions of dollars of wealth in a currency whose supply is expanding vs. one that is perfectly scarce. the free market is much more likely to game-theoretically choose the latter.
