This is still better than a currency which is deflationary by nature, which BTC is.
Deflationary currency doesn't get spent. What fool would hand his Bitcoin over for some bread now, when he could buy twenty loaves of bread if he just waits until the last BTC is mined?
But from a consumer's perspective, deflation is a feature. I don't want to spend my money! I want to save it, and to be rewarded for saving it, so that by consuming less I can also work less.
Why would I hand over my Bitcoin for some bread? Because I'm hungry and need to eat. Otherwise yes, I'll save my money for later, no need for needless and wasteful spending.
If I have to hand over more and more value over time for the same amount of bread (that is easier and easier to manufacture each decade), then "the economy" isn't doing well.
If I hold the scarcest money in the universe, then the bread will get get cheaper and cheaper to me over time. This is a great economy.
I'm not going be sitting around in my riches starving because food will be cheaper next week :-D :-D
