I've just had an interesting thought. It can be quickly rebuffed because it's not entirely true but people often talk about how fiat being printed leads to inflation and the value of that currency declining, or in other words prices increasing. If BTC/Fiat price inflated by just as much as consumer goods/fiat then assuming people don't want to hold fiat and are actually just using it as a vehicle to consumer goods, then they'd be no better off than before.
