Bitcoin is still far ahead, but inflation isn't the enemy if you're savvy with your money. However, over the long term, I do see cryptocurrencies as a more risky saving account or bond that is even less correlated with the markets (good thing) and that protects you against inflation.

Also, imagine if you borrowed Bitcoins to buy your house in 2014 and had a 200 BTC mortgage. Could you imagine trying to pay it today? With inflation and current mortgage interest rates, it's almost free to borrow money to buy a house. I guess all this means is that either debt in BTC doesn't make sense, and/or that it would require mass adoption of BTC so that debt is viable; companies would be quick to lower BTC salaries when its value goes up, and would do so faster than they raise salaries when inflation goes up, so it's more efficient in that aspect.
