I’ve always thought deflation was a good thing, but I was talking to the AI and it brought up deflationary spirals.
Basically people are less likely to spend as prices fall over time. So low demand -> low profit -> layoffs -> less discretionary income-> low demand -> repeat
So maybe like a 1.5% inflation rate like Monero would be good. It would also keep transaction fees low as mining becomes less profitable.
