Bitcoin's near infinite divisibility weakens the fixed supply argument, does it not?

The smallest possible fraction of a dollar is $0.01. You can transact BTC in denominations with a lot more zeros behind the decimal point.

Read more about Bitcoin and what fixed supply means. There will only be 21 million Bitcoin ever, but the dollars keep being printed en masse. This makes each Bitcoin continually worth more and each dollar continually worth less.
