Continuing to repeat "Bitcoin is new; Bitcoin is sudividable; Keynes bad; central bank bad" isn't actually an argument as to how any new features of Bitcoin, including its subdivisability, change any of the incentives related to deflation.

If you've got an argument, make it, but as far as I can see there's just conspiracy theories about the status quo and wishful thinking with no coherent basis for Bitcoin.

Sure, you can continue to try to discount the things I've already said, and tell the world none of it matters according to you, and yet here we are in an endless loop.

I am not discounting them, I am asking you to provide reasons to believe that they have some substance. I am interested in knowing whether there is any substantive reasoning behind the "but Bitcoin is new and different" response to deflation concerns, but from what I can tell from the responses of proponents of that position when asked for a rationale, it amounts to a bare article of faith, rather than a position with any rational support.
