Though it can also be interpreted as giving money an infinite shelf life by embalming it. Value is "preserved" by transforming it into a different form so that it can be extracted with the same potency at a future date. Either keeping up with or even surpassing inflation.

Seems similar to why deflation is usually considered worse than inflation. If money magically gets more valuable in the future, then there's no incentive to use it. The present is sacrificed for the future yet tomorrow never comes.
