Jeff. Wondering if I have this right.

Assume an inflationary system: innovators are motivated to find new methods/discoveries/systems that can outpace inflation. The reward of these “hacks” are first accrued by the innovator and then later diffused to the larger population.

In a deflationary system (Bitcoin), will innovation slow because the motivation of outpacing inflation has been removed?

Does the inflationary system have to run its course completely via AI and robotics before a deflationary system takes hold?
