I wouldnt use an entry level economics class to judge technology that eliminates risk of government hyperinflation and lowers/eliminates cost of transactions.

The economic benefits of free/low cost transactions and money that can be saved/spent rather than invested may have its own benefits.

I didn't, the question was "What makes you think deflation would be bad?". That is entry level economics and has nothing to do with technology.
