With sound money, people could work and save without needing to constantly gamble just to maintain buying power.

They'll see it as this thing that the old people are all hoarding, and they'll have none of it... Why sign on for an uphill battle for BTC over any other token?
Seems to me that crypto projects should have tangible side effects, so that future generations can value them (or not) based on whether they want to see more of those effects. Compared to that, a fat BTC wallet in cold storage looks like somebody who sucked value out of their community rather than reinvesting it to make positive changes. Why reward such a person by valuing their tokens?
If bitcoin replaces fiat, bitcoin becomes the main representation of value. It no longer goes up against a trading pair of fiat. I speculate that its buying power would stabilize and become fairly static.
> Let’s assume BTC replaces fiat (USD)
If BTC replaces fiat, I don't believe it would increase in buying power at a rapid rate. I think it would gradually increase in buying power over time only because the total supply will gradually shrink due to lost coins / dust /etc.
