“Bitcoin is not affected by this because it is fundamentally different from popular currency.”

See the links in the post about the problems with deflationary currencies. See also the links of events that were made worse by finite/deflationary currencies; reposting:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Depression


I did read the links and even quoted how one of them says bitcoin isn't affected.
