Does anyone see a problem with deflation and massive hoarding after all of them have been printed out?
Yes, you are right. Why would I sell my bitcoins, knowing the price will always go up. A market can only exist with a bid-ask side.

Eventually, you have to spend money to survive.  You have to buy food, shelter, water.  You'll choose to pay for entertainment and the things you desire.

I know that a cheaper computer will come out in 5 years that will do far more than the computers available today, but I still but a computer today if I have a need for a computer.

The same will be true of anything else deflationary.  Sure, there will be an incentive to encourage individual saving, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.  Meanwhile people will still spend on the things they need and want.
