I would really like people to finally put the non-argument...
Whelp, calling an argument you can't counter "non-argument" seems like a good start.
Would you seriously argue that someone will not purchase a car because he expects it to be 2% cheaper next year?
And what about the next year: again no purchase due to the same reason?
Asking the question is answering it. It's really a non-argument.
Would I put off buying a fleet of new cars for my company if cars depreciated more substantially? The answer is "obviously yes."
No one is talking about necessities, like morning coffee. I don't care if I have to pay double @ 7am for the same cup I could buy for its regular price @ 7pm. Don't extrapolate from this that I don't care about saving money, and that 200% daily deflation would not alter my buying habits.
My turn:
Would you invest in car company stock that nets 2% a year, knowing that keeping your money in your
mattress Trezor would be both safer & net the same end result?
