Since we're talking about inflation:

BTC's finite supply makes it inherently more stable than fiat, but it also gives it a ticking clock towards obsolescence. I suppose there can be a fork or another coin, but BTC has both a finite supply and has a finite divisibility. This means that at some point, due to inflation, a Satoshi will be too big of a unit to facilitate trade. Now I know people think inflation is bad, but I'd argue that it is baked into capitalism.

A simple illustration of the necessity of inflation: I make product A and sell it for Y, you improve on A, let's call your product A1, which provides more value to the consumer and therefore enables you to charge Y*>1. The consumer's demand for A1 puts upward pressure on wages, and there we have it: inflation.

Of course the price of A could decrease with A1 simply subsuming its price point, but human psychology seems to support the model of A1 entering as a luxury for early adopters at Y*>1, followed by a decrease in Y*>1 where it settles at some point above Y.

So, yeah, this is where fiat's openness to central manipulation seems to be a plus.
