Well there's definitely lots of coins being mined everyday and thus the supply is inflating. I'm not really sure where the 'deflationary' label came from exactly. It will be deflationary in 2140 or whatever when blocks stop giving rewards. If it's ever around by then.

Yeah, a lot of myths and misconceptions are touted around. People believe what they like to believe, but reality sets in, sooner or later.
The MSM says that bitcoin is deflationary because the people who hold bitcoin generally believe that the value will rise over time, preventing them from wanting to engage in trades for goods/services for their bitcoin
This is a major misconception that the MSM tends to point out for some reason. Yes bitcoin will become deflationary after well over a hundred years, however it is inflationary today. I do not understand why they make this mistake.

The block chain is the main innovation of Bitcoin. It is the first distributed timestamping system.

If the inflation is mathematically defined, it will only make it more difficult to calculate. There is no point in it.


Inflation has a positive impact and negative effects, depending on whether or not severe inflation. If inflation was mild, it has a positive effect in terms of stimulating the economy could be better, ie increases the national income and get people excited to work, saving and investment holding.

Conversely, in a period of severe inflation, which in the event of uncontrolled inflation (hyperinflation), the state of the economy became chaotic and felt sluggish economy. People are not excited about working, saving, or investments and production because prices are rising rapidly. The fixed-income recipients such as civil servants or private employees and workers will also be overwhelmed bear and offset the price so that their lives become increasingly slipped and fell from time to time.

You didn't get it. It can only have effect if some actors does not understand it, or nobody knows because it is unknown in advance.

Anyway, there are effects of inflation, but they are always bad. The one thing that the inflationists never think about (or talk about), is cementing the capital structure, making everybody poorer.

same as other types of currency, cryptocurrency also must have a value of inflation, inflation occurs when bitcoin compared with other currencies, inflation also depends on market demand, if the market demand for many bitcoin then inflation will go down, and vice versa when demand is low, inflation will rise ...  Tongue
