That doesn't make any sense.
My amazon stock that I hold is going up in value, and is therefore "deflationary".
But it would be silly to say that I would never have a reason to sell those stocks.
I sell things, whether they are dollars or stock or crypto, because I want to buy something.
- chii 6y agoif you had 1 amazon share (worth $3286 right now), and $3286 in USD cash, and you wish to buy a $3286 computer, would you rather sell the share to obtain the cash, or transact using your existing USD?
- stale2002 6y agoI would have no preference. It's the same thing. The only difference maybe, is regarding friction. IE, maybe it is a bit more difficult to immediately sell the Amazon stock at a store. But transaction friction is different than the deflation argument.
