Bitcoin could always just do a decimal shift and suddenly, oh look, there's 10x as much, making it way easier to subdivide. Assuming value follows proportionally, i.e., 10x the coins and each worth 1/10th the value so total supply cap is unchanged, which to be fair is a big assumption, you once again have plenty in the economy.

In a broader sense, this suggests that a crypto can only act as a currency standard if it's inflationary so that the inflation can counteract the lost coins. I don't agree with that, but I could be proven wrong.
