We are being told deflation is bad for our economies and this is used as excuse from our central banks to print more money and destroy our savings/currencies. What they say is that in a deflationary environment, the price of goods falls so people would not buy anything and would rather wait to buy in future, therefore slowing the economy. If so why smartphones sell like hot cakes?their price is falling and people are buying them actually because of that. Maybe because each time the price decreases customers feel like they are getting a good deal, therefore are prompted to buy!!
If our economies are not growing it means that there isn't much inflation pressure, so I don't see any reason to artificially induce inflation by destroying our currencies. I would like to know your view on that..also do you think bitcoins (deflationary) will see a wider adoption by retailers in future?
