I don’t follow your point about deflation.

Ultimately price change has to be neutral in the medium/long run.

Simply, interest rates would become higher because of deflation.

If I lend you 1 Bitcoin today and value will be 1.1 tomorrow, I need to factor that in the interest rate I ask you, on top of the prevailing real return to investing.

In my view, the problem it’s a matter of transaction costs induced by continuosly changing prices.

In short, Tinder does not collect information on who you like more and who you like less. It's a binary decision, like or not. We do generate a much finer ranking. The ranking allows us to employ a Nobel prize winning matching algorithm to create a limited set of relevant matches. See our website for details.
