no, bitcoin needs to focus on the gold function, http://coincenter.org/2015/02/cryptocurrency-investments-different-securities-investments/
money is worthless it just passes from one hand to the next. its not a store of value
since you're new here, i'll forgive you. everyone knows that when i talk about Money, i mean Sound Money (fixed supply).
you need inflation to keep up with the growth of the economy. economics 101.
Printing money in any manner is effectively counterfeiting the ledger. There is no difference between creating fake gold coins to create artificial new supply or printing money to create artificial new supply.
There is a reason the constitution specifically mentions counterfeiting as a punishable offence in Article I, Section 8, Clause 6. It's a short document, nothing made it in unless it was a fundamental attribute for a functioning society. Only took ~130 years for the banking oligarchy to re-educate you and convince you that free candy was worth becoming a serf for.
