If BTC becomes successful, how will a deflationary money supply keep the economy afloat? People will just sit on their money watching their wealth "grow". No investment no spending

At some point the future after Bitcoin has been adopted (BSV) the ability to make money off of just holding it will not exist anymore. It'll be come more stable than gold. Remember this is a new technology. There is an S-Curve to adoption. We haven't even begun the leg up on the S-Curve. Remember we've been held back for over five years on scaling and only just now are getting to the point where building can take place.

So no, people in the future won't sit on Bitcoin for a profit, but they probably will be much less of a consumer of useless shit than people today.

This is why bitcoin will never work. You cant lend a deflationary currency.
Scenario. I borrow 1 Btc at 5% and buy a $9000 car.
Next year bitcoin is $20,000. The debt is exponentially more unpayable.
Unironically this is why gold is superior. The mining rate tends to correlate to population growth which keeps things balanced.

you've been brainwashed...well we all have.
deflationary money is nothing new
building will again be built to last hundreds or thousands of years.
you wont have a house filled with $2 shitty plastic cups...instead you will have fewer possessions of higher quality.
basically the move back to deflationary money produces a move back to quality over quantity.
remember that our universe if finite. only a limited amount of sunshine, corn, cows, etc. it only makes sense that we have a finite money to represent it.

Even if Bitcoin goes to $1 million each, its market cap would only be like $18 trillion dollars. That's less than the US national debt. It's a drop in the bucket. It will just become absorbed into the speculative assets market like gold and oil futures.

this confuses me greatly, why would no one lend in a deflationary economy? sure your dollar becomes more valuable over time. but since your dollar isn't losing value you could charge as low as 1% interest and still be making money.

if you got the good goyim score of 800 i'd lend you money for almost free. because the chance of you defaulting is so slim. but you could charge more, and if less people are willing to lend, that means you could charge reliable people more interest.

No dumbass. A loan at 5% in real terms would just mean you repay back less than 1 BTC if it's deflating fast enough.

E.g. I give you 1 BTC today ($9,000) and want 0.5 BTC a year from now (worth $10,000).

Once the entire world economy is based on Bitcoin, deflation in Bitcoin will exactly parallel the rate of global economic growth. Maybe 5% a year. By just holding bitcoins in your wallet you will naturally get to enjoy future economic growth without effort.

What that means is that people will only invest in businesses and people that are capable of generating higher returns, e.g. 10%. This is a good thing. It's not like the current world economy where shit money is chasing shit business opportunities, it would be a paradisiacal world where solid money chases amazing business opportunities and doesn't get wasted.
