I like the blogs published by Bitmex. One of the awesome sources to gather knowledge around cryptocurrency.
In this blog they discuss problem and benefits of deflationary economics.
https://blog.bitmex.com/bitcoin-economics-part-3/To quote from this:
However, even if Bitcoin has solved this economic problem, perhaps its naive to think Bitcoin would result in a more prosperous economic system. Bitcoin is a new and unique system, which is likely to cause more economic problems, perhaps unexpected or new ones. After all there is no perfect money. It just may not be correct to apply the traditional economic problems of the past, to this new type of money. Although it may be more difficult, identifying Bitcoins potential economic problems may require more analysis and a stronger understanding of the underlying technology.
I agree that it's a new kind of monetary system and it would have it's own problem when it becomes well adapted. but economically speaking do we need this system adding to the complexity already existing financial system.
Yes, the world is continually changing so thus the technology. And to adapt to the new world we need crypto currency. Today, technology is fast evolving and almost everything can be made instantly and easily, like for instance communication, traveling and many more.
