I think what you are saying is very controversial. Yes, Bitcoin by nature is a deflater, but still it is not widespread as the usual fiat money. Plus its legal status is still under question in many countries and jurisdictions. I am optimistic about future of cryptocurrency, not sure about Bitcoin though.
It may not be widespread yet, but still as a store of value against the inflationary system, I would say the OP has some point. Judging from the likes of those who have really seen the fiat space not to help anyone right from the onset and then you see prices being inflated for a lot of reasons that balls down to economic policies and decisions by the central banks and governments, I would say putting a good number of my savings few year back into bitcoin has really been helpful when it comes to beating the inflation in my country as well.
