When talking about economic growth or stagnation, money is a measure like a meter or a scale.
You add the total number of meters or kilos and you have the total size of the economy.
Problem is, if your print money, you all of a sudden are able to say that my economy amounts to more
money, so, TADAAAAA, my economy got bigger.
What is never taken into account though is the buying power of that money, which nowadays is getting smaller and smaller.
In the end, we fool ourselves that we have economic growth.
Now, imagine the world using 21 mil bitcoins as its sole currency. If you tried to measure the economy in money,
there would apparently never ever exist economic growth.
BUT, if this year the economy consisted of 2 cars, 2 buses, 2 trucks and 1 spaceship and the next year it consisted
of double that, wouldn't that be growth? Wouldn't that growth be shared by all bitcoin holders?
CONCLUSION: the amount of money DOESN'T reflect value.
PS: I'm not an economist. Just thinking out loud. Flame me all you want.
At least you are not a Hodling Parrot
What if economy is like a coastline, trying to grow into a fractal dimension, keeping a constant measure would make it look as nothing changed, only by adding more resolution to your metric you would be able to measure the true size, and growth.
That's why bitcoin has divisibility, to show us all the fine granularity.
