Yes I'm aware of the maxi rhetoric about fiat everything and how Bitcoin fixes it.

That doesn't mean setting up structural deflation is a good idea.

so your stance is

because of the buyers virtuous restraint

they somehow "earn" greater purchasing power

and that increases as to the amount of total economic expansion that occurs, which they had nothing to do with.

sounds very scientific.

I didn't "whitewash" Keynes, I corrected your mistake that advocating for amounts of monetary expansion is a Keynesian position. It isnt.

The saver earns purchasing power because they delayed consumption and allowed capital to be allocated by others who took the risk.

Without savers, there is no capital pool to finance production at all.

The increase in purchasing power is the market reward for patience and for not consuming scarce resources prematurely.

That’s called time preference, a term in austrian economics, long before bitcoin.

Yeah yeah human action.

Mises didn't argue the money supply should be set up so that AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE it was structurally deflationary.

just that a tendency towards deflation was natural and good.

and I'm not disagreeing.

You're based, fren. For me, there's nothing negative about the amount of money going down. Most people don't even understand money.
