Bitcoin isn't a currency, it's a commodity (akin to digital gold). It can't be naturally deflationary and used to facilitate day-to-day trade because, by design (and with all else being equal), you're better holding on to the bitcoin than spending it. Fiat currencies are the opposite - inflation encourages spending because the money slowly trends towards being worthless if you don't spend or invest.
