while Bitcoin is deflationary due to monopoly, crypto-currency is inflationary. Bitcoin's value is not held by how hard it is to mine them. It's held by how bad people want to use crypto-currency for trading behaviours. When bitcoin's value become too high to be used for normal trading, it's value will decrease, simply because people will invent new types of crypto-currency(i.e litecoin, namecoin) to replace its function. When less people using bitcoins, no matter how 'hard' its mining algorithm gets, its price will drop. Therefore crypto-currency is inflationary, and that's why Bitcoin will become inflationary eventually.
