Deflation desincintivizes capital accumulation more than an easy to hedge 2-3% yearly inflation rate. Unless of course the only asset one accumulates is the currency.

Or you can just have a sound form of money that isn’t at the whims of the government inflation/taxation theft machine. Deflation is not inherently bad, that is a Keynesian myth. What % of inflation is due to organic growth and what % is due to excess money creation?

Whims of governments? Nations are organized around governments for the sake of security, stability & prosperity. The Rule of Law requires a government. Many things are at the whims of governments for a reason. We want monetary policy at the whims of governments.

You call taxation theft. Hence you very likely are against governments in general. If so, your position is extreme and not reconcilable with that of the majority of people. Consider moving to DRC, see how you like living in a place where the Rule of Law is not enforced.

BTW rigid monetary systems, such as the gold standard and USD pegs, when in place in anything but tiniest of countries, are bad for growth and usually end in disaster. Bitcoin as national currency, with its fixed monetary supply, would be disastrous for most countries.
