Money is at all times dispersed throughout the economy - there is no such thing as circulation. Whether people decide to hold or spend that money is an individual decision at all times.
And at all times some people desire some of the goods and services that money can buy more than the representation of those goods and services (the money itself).
This idea you’re spouting is Keynesian nonsense. It has been debunked a million times.
That stocks will continue to exist is nothing to do with the point under discussion.
The reason people criticize inflation is because they don't realize it's necessary to encourage spending.
Excess inflation is of course bad because it devalues the currency.
That being said some monetary inflation is better than monetary deflation overall.
To clarify prices going down is good but it's beneficial when it's productivity based deflation as seen in technology sectors.
