You are just reciting commonly accepted narrative, without putting any thing to it.

Show me an exception. There isn't one. It isn't a commonly accepted narrative. It's the truth.
Show me how well the Gold is doing for the purposes of payment by common folks. Just because narrative is common, it doesn’t make it right or wrong, it is just common
What's gold got to do with inflating Bitcoin?
Gold, limited supply, we are digging less of it each year, it is used as store of value. Does it remind you of anything?
"Yes, I know that you all want to keep it as gold and all, but if it were to be used as a regular day to day currency and not just a store of value, the deflation would definitely hurt that. What are your thoughts about that?"
Here I was thinking because you were talking about using it as a currency.
If you programmatically add to the supply as you propose, it will trend towards zero. That's simple maths.
Everything trends toward zero, including human life. Also, nothing has inherent value, it’s a human assigned construct.
But back to the point. I was thinking of bitcoin more as a token to exchange value (like anything we use for that, gold, paper, IOU, etc). If the token that is used to exchange value increases in value just due to its age, then people are less likely to use it for the purposes of payment. What are your thoughts about this?
