I hope so too - but I think it's unlikely because Bitcoin is decentralised by design.

When money supply is controlled by central authority, it can be used as a tool to control prices and volatility. It's still early days but the inflation-targeting independent monetary policy experiment happening in some developed economies over the last 2 decades seems promising.

I'd be interested if anyone were willing to start a "centralised" Bitcoin governed by benevolent dictators for life. I'd rather put my savings with people who understand monetary theory and how to use big data to inform supply decisions than a system prone to cycles.
