Bitcoin isn't static or deflationary. There is a schedule of inflation built in via the mining reward which is currently at 1.5% until the next "halvening" where it will become 0.75%. The mining reward will continue to half every 4 years until roughly near the year 2140.

You realize 2140 isn't that far away and that the cap is what is inflating current values (and coin hoarding) right? Just ask investors and they will tell you.
